Thank You to all who shared their stories.
It helped me.
I am a coach,patient advocate, color therapist,entrepreneur, and I defy he odds after several accidents.
It was hard this last month, when I was trying to clear my flare up and work at the same time. I needed time alone. I care take my husband and his 4 children and our dog. so the day an fly by.....and I am lucky to have humble home and simple pleasures in life.
While sitting at beach I heard people whisper "those are sun spots". I got down not because of the intrusive comments but because I need new hip and an (si) joint fusion. I take fish oil and changed my diet. I am not giving up coffee....wine is okay...to give up.
My neurologist said I cannot gain weight as it will affect my spine.
I try to change the subject when family or friends ask me questions. Like I invite conditions or feel the weather changes. I would not call it grin and bear it. I don't want to be over identified by it or crippled. Listen to music or an opera like Carmen, or The Stones, Beatles,etc...
I find it rude when people stare --- drives me nuts some days....what the hell are you gawking at....( I say to myself) My husband reminds me that I am attractive. Big deal attractive to who? It does not get me out of a back brace, seen as incompetent or rid me of trauma from being rear ended by a large truck. I am sorry I should be on the rant page but I am not there yet.
I tackle hypothyroid issues a brain injury...so I lose items, misspell words, have dulled hearing blah blah... I get skin check for the c word.
The fish oil helped my depression and arthritis, I take it liquid form, lots of it. My hip(s) feels better. I have two misses on the c word.. I have an area of my body with irregular cells... for me it is why tempt my fate; so I love life too much to fall down again. I am too terrified to take meds.
I use sun lamps for the face and UVB light for my body. I try to get it done in the morning. I take miner salt- oil baths,use essential oils as well and incense. I wear up beat colors and i have moisturizers in every bathroom and the car. I am over talking about my aliments with insensitive people, who all they see is my face , and say well you look great. I did not ask for your opinion! I did not bring up the subject.
I love to listen - (part of my work).... to others and be creative whenever I can; read great books and spend time with like minded souls. I have an ever expanding rapport with colleagues in the UK. I have my work, and that helps and is a proper focus...Most valuable thing for my well being is sound sleep...
I am grateful even when I am having the winter blues, animals and loving people - at least, for me as well as photography, design, consigning and designing clothing and collecting vintage and learning.
You are not studied when you are the student. My brain is my favorite organ.
I just got my compass for feng shui and I need to learn the technical aspects for my home staging work.
Over and out...

I have new meaning to crack on.
All the best
