Abby, I know what you mean about the energy...I have so many things I want to do but can't so I wait until I can. Have you tried B12 vitamins? I am so happy to be taking B12, it has helped my energy level and even helped somewhat with the depression. Of course, it doesn't do anything for my weakness, at least nothing obvious, but it is wonderful to have energy. At least I can have more waking hours, most of which has been spent in front of my computer since this takes the least muscle effort.

I, too, have times when I do nothing because I don't have the energy and this causes depression...

Thanks For Sharing!

Thanks to all of you for sharing a bit of yourselves with the message board:hug:

We share many of the same interests... it seems that we all like to read, but because of this crazy MG thing some of us have found other ways to enjoy it... some of have switched to audio books, some have thought about trying e-readers and others continue to do it the old fashioned way when our eyes will let us. We inspire others with our love of crafts, poems and writing. We find great joy in spending time with our families and friends. We reach out to others through social networking sites.

AnnieB3, Betty Crocker has many gluten free products on the market now, they include cake and dessert mixes as well as Bisquick baking mix.

Shalynn, If you share recipes I'd love to try your muffins...you can't go wrong with pumpkin & chocolate chips!

Annie59, A road trip with the American Pickers sounds like fun...I'm game if you are:wink:

DesertFlower, I love your beautiful city:Heart:. I had the chance to visit AZ some years back. We saw "A Mountain", the St. Xavier del Bac Mission, and spent the day hiking through the Sonoran Desert.

roguepuppet "Nan" Love the Hoosier State... I have family that has lived in Fort Wayne for so long I forget they ever lived in NJ. Canning and preserving are a favorite of mine...the weather was not good for my garden this year:( I had to buy tomatoes to put up for spaghetti sauce:rolleyes:

Stellatum"Abby", What can I say... I love traditional Irish music :nopity: I think it's great you know ASL...I know a few signs but could never hold a conversation!

I love cooking, especially cakes biscuits etc, which I usually give away, as if I ate them all my self I would put on too much weight.

I love gardening and have just planted a whole heap of herb seeds out in my little back garden. I thought herbs would be easy to look after, so now my garden is growing nicely. I have established garlic chives, sage, rosemary, oregano, and have planted basil, fenugreek, clumping evergreen challots, dill, tarragon, thai chillis, radish, zucchini cucumbers and beetroot can't wait til I can start using them...........

Kate, I try to share my goodies with others as well. I've lost quite a bit of weight in the last two years. I can't help but eat a small piece now and then. I want to lose more just in case I have to go on Prednisone, but also because I can still afford to loss a bit more.

My garden didn't do so well this year. No matter what I planted I had to share it with all my backyard animal friends!! I even had to but tomatoes to can for sauce this year. I hope next years crop is more successful.

Thanks for sharing,
Rachel

Rach, I live in the state where General Mills makes their "so-called" GF products. I'm one of those celiacs who gets sick on even the FDA's acceptable parts per million of gluten. I simply eat mainly whole foods. I'll get around to making my own bread sooner or later but it's a lot of work.

It's been fun reading about everyone's interests. Thanks for starting this thread.

Annie, I think there is always a chance of cross contamination in any food processing facility. There are so few that don't use eggs, dairy, tree nuts, or wheat type products somewhere in the processing. I can't imagine how hard it must be to be so sensitive to foods. I get hives from all kinds of crazy things, synthetic fabric, dust, the powder in latex gloves, and even the sun. But I can eat most anything you put in front of me!!

Glad your enjoying the thread, I was hoping more people would respond. I know even the computer can be difficult to manage some days, and some folks just feel comfortable sharing. For the longest time I was a lurker, even on other types of forums but I figured what have I go to lose. The most I can possibly due is bore someone to death with an extremely long post about nothing. No one gets to see who I am, the most they can do is raise an eyebrow and say to themselves, OH NO!!!!!, there she goes again kinda like now!!

Well enough said for now, have a great evening!
Rachel
