((((((BIG HUGS)))))). Wow…. you have a huge load to bear. I just wanted to let you know, you are not alone. Your post could have easily been mine with all the symptoms, etc. I have no idea what kind of help that could be available to you. Are you disabled officially? If so, are there programs where someone can come in every other day or every day and help out? It seems you don’t have anyone who can help you 🙁 I’m so so sorry. I can’t imagine the chaos, stress, worry and on top of being so sick too. I see this question/situation alot, in different states, different countries, etc (on other boards), and I just have no clue how to help. I wish there were programs set up for folks like us who need some helping out. Maybe you can search for some, or call your local department of human services and see if they might know of any programs, or people you could call to come in help you some? Maybe explain the situation? Or perhaps you can contact some churches who may have some type of programs to help the disabled, etc. It’s possible, sometimes you just have to dig deep…. and i know, most times we are too sick to keep digging, but it seems, if we are to get anywhere for ourselves, diggin for info is a must.

You are in my thoughts & prayers darlin’…… you are so close to my age (im 34, with 2 kids, their dad went history 13 years ago, never heard, nor even know where he lives til this day).

Just wanted to let you know you are in our thoughts, prayers and positive energy your way. Keep your chin up, and see if you can call around for info on programs that might be out there that could help you. 🙂

Lots of hugs & love from tennessee!!!

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
