The Year Life Stopped

Symptoms began appearing:
exhaustion
achiness
limp limbs
swollen glands
feeling of hot, cold, then hot again
(not "the DT"s)
I felt so sleepy I couldn't do anything,
yet I had insomnia so I couldn't get
enough sleep
I kept being accused of being "lazy"
I frequently had vertigo, all the way to
the age I am today
I went from a size 6 American
( 110/5 lbs to 182 lbs) within 3 1/2
months causing severe pain to my
skin; my ankles are 7 inches round
and my wrists (were) 4 1/2 inches
round, so they couldn't support
the weight very well - I'm not just
complaining that I'm fat! I don't
have control of my own body right
now, exacerbating other medical
problems.
My eyesight went from 40/20, to ?
I can hardly see up close AND far
away.


This is just the tip of the iceberg, however, for me the year that life stopped was when my body stopped working WITH me and started working against me.
This is just one of my health conditions.But as a wise man once said,"Clemenxia, there will always be people who are more ill than you. God bless them. Thank the Lord for the health you have, And there will always be people who have better health than you. God bless them, learn from them."
