Too many
Hi, I'm new here. I have diabetes, fibromyalgia, sciatica, arthritis, bursitis, neuropathy in both feet and legs, retinopathy, and if that isn't enough, I have hearing loss, and depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder, but that is in recovery. I also have PTSD.
I am a veteran. I have been married 5 times. I am 58. I have a congential heart defect. I've had two heart attacks and a stroke.
And yet. I am still walking and breathing!

Wow, hello! My name is FrenchMarbles, it's lovely to meet with you today and welcome to the disability subcommunity. Wow, you've indeed gone through a lot in your life and I love the positivity that you're still here and breathing!
I'm excited to see how you evolve on here, you're absolutely welcome here and thank you for introducing yourself!
Sometimes a positive attitude is all I have. I learned a long time ago that laughing is better than crying. That attitude makes for a much better patient also. Doctors want to work with you.
I go to a University Hospital system where there are many residents, students, and researchers. I never say no when my socialist wants to bring in someone who is studying something in my area of illness. Perhaps they may help someone, it may be me someday.
Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for your service and risking your life so we can have our freedom.
