Grief

Hi ChillyGirl. It's a shame that big life changes & isolation often accompany a newer chronic illness. Can you still sit at a counter to make candies or other foods even if you can't eat them? Can you invite family for a potluck or shared-prepared meal? Wonder if you could help/teach culinary students, online? I feel frustrated at times, too because of chronic illness & alone 95% of the time. I also can't do many of the things, I used to love. I taught myself to make jewelry, watch old movies from 1930's-40s on youtube, read a lot, enjoy my pets & exchange emails with the friends, I've made in other countries. It's hard to lose good health. Hope you find fun things to do and hope you get feeling better very soon!

Thank you, ChillyGirl for making me feel, a tiny bit useful! It's none of my business but I am wondering what seems to be causing your motility issues along with the GERD. Is it something that can be remedied? My mom, who's much older than you also has GERD (with severe asthma) so I know the suffering it can cause. I hope & pray that you find healing, hope & a new direction in this tough old life. Your intelligence shows. Please, empower yourself by reading about your conditions, to see what techniques natural healers are using. Knowledge is power. Stay blessed, dear lady.
