Hello all, dear friends,

Im not very good expressing myself… and Im not good writing... but I really wanted to share my thoughts and reflections with you these days...

2008 was the worst year in my life... it is incredible but, sadly, 2006 and 2007 were magnific... so, when I felt I “had everything” in my life, I “lost” everything... all of a sudden... Bad news, health problems... all that gave me more health problems... and that’s why I started taking lyrica... oh that sweet medicine many of you know too... Thank to that sweet pill, in early 2009, I started to search in the internet for its side effects... and, guess what... I found you !! that’s the way I found this wonderful site... The site that soon after would be my favourite place to be...

I told you I wasnt good writing, and I was just about to start rambling, but, what I wanted with this letter was to express you all my gratitude for have been here all this 2009 with me...

Right when I thought 2009 was going to be as hard as 2008, I found you.. and you rescued me more than once... you helped more than once... you listened me... you cheered me up... you prayed for me... you even helped me to believe in God again and to keep the faith...

My life will never be the same... it will never be the way it used to be... no Christmas dinner or New year’s eve will be as easy as they used to be... now I have complications... health issues that make my life harder.... that make my mood worse... more difficult... but I know one thing... I can always come here, and will find a friend who will make me feel fine again... no matter if it is 24th december, 25th, 31st... I can log in here, to this beautiful site and there will be someone to listen, to pray with me and for me...

If you ask me what I will thank 2009 for, I will definetely answer NEURO TALK COMMUNITIES.... Thank you for exist... Im full of fear, it’s all tears now for me, but... I see a light... I see hope and that’s because I can read all the post you have written to me... and I have understood life is full of ups and dows and that is thank you to you...

So, yeah, before rambling... MERRY CHRISTMAS DEAR ALL !!! I really pray and wish 2010 will be a great and amazing year for all of you and yours.

We will share more things, sweet stories, venting... whine... lol, anything... and cheers for that !

Thank you very much for everything and know that I will always be here for you all.

One more thing before leaving... I will paste this message in 3 forums here... hate to triplicate my post, but Im not sure all my friends here visit the same forums and, wanted to thank all of them...

Love,
Majo.

Dear Majo,
Merry Christmas to you and yours.

You are sweet.

Dear Mari....

Im having a nasty night in all aspects... Im depressed as an idiot, plus, I got the flu and my throat hurts like hell... It's like the fifth time in 3 months I get the flu/throat infection... I definetely think my immune system is broken... So, yeah, what was I saying ? Oh yes ! That now that Im feeling terribly, without being able to sleep, I come here and find your post... Oh lord... That snoopy definetely have made my night !!! Thank you from my heart.

Dear Majo,
I'm glad you like the Snoopy.
I hope that you feel better.
Maybe you can find some people to be around. Have you been hanging around yourself and letting the mood get you down? Sometimes being with others helps me.

Blue, You are such a special friend and we all are better on the forums for having you share your love and prayers for us too.
It is a blessing to have cyber caring 24/7 folks out here.
I pray that 2010 can be better for each one of us. Even a little.
Get well soon, take care of that throat, mom dimarie says use warm salt water gargel and some throat losages.

Dear Mari and Di, I really hope you can feel how much I appreciate you and how much I love you.
My cyber friends are my best family. I love you and thank you so much. Thank you for being part of my life.

Di, I will run to do those gargles NOW ! this pain is killing ! hum, just when I thought fibromyalgia pain was the devil, he strikes my throat...

Blessings to you !

Oh yes.. I totally agree with Di ,
the warm and salty gargles, it really does help to get the crud out of the throat and sinuses too.

my dd has enlarged tonsils and gets problems with those, her Dr also suggested those gargles many times a day.

If you have any vitamin C that are chewable you can slowly suck on them and the vit c will help to sooth the throat in between the gargles.
Oh and hot tea with honey & lemon

Aw, thank you dear Jo !!

Did the gargles... I think i definetely killed bacteria !! I just cant breathe now !

Argh, and why during Christmas !!!

Dear Majo,



'Hoping you get some rest to recover.
Also hoping you feel peace.

Blue, try to gargle with Betadine liquid - 50-50 betadine-water. My experience has it better than salt water. An anti-allergy perhaps to open your breathing channels. I find Allegra 120 works well. I don't know if you can get it there or if you need a prescription to get it. I like it because it doesn't cause drowsiness. Eucalyptus oil helps temporarily.
There are more specific anti-allergies, but you will need to find out what you get there.
Get well soon. I hope you are well enough to enjoy Chritmas.
