Leukemia, PTSD, Clusters Loss of Right arm, Now losing eyesight....

Cinnamon May 25th, 2015

I didn't want everyone to know but I am in tears because I am losing my eyesight. It is macular degeneration. I had it before and it stopped but it is starting again. I know that I will use this as a gift but it is always difficult at first.

For all of you in chronic pain... You have my heart!!!! I cannot write much more because I cannot see and I cannot type much due to my arm. I will not be around 7 cups of tea as much and that is part of my sadness. I wish I met more of you. I never wanted to be popular I just wanted to help.

Trust that you are loved. Know that you are never alone. You are courageous, brave and brilliant shining stars! You all are gifts in this world and I am so blessed to be part of this community. Brightest Blessings ~ Cinnamon.

I hope you are able to come to peace with the body you have been placed in. It truly suck sometimes. There is nothing else remotely intelligent I can say or offer.

Sorry to hear about your eyesight. I also have PTSD from a bone marrow transplant because of Leukemia. Fuck this, how is this all part of our lives? I also have graft vs. host disease, scleroderma, and have a very poor quality of life. I am so sorry you are loosing your eyesight too. No one needs that.
