Hi everyone! I am new to this group. I live with Type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, anemia and chronic kidney disease. I also have anxiety as a result of living with these conditions. Consequently I am exhausted most of the time and struggle to accomplish things in my life. Nice to meet everyone and hear everyone’s stories here.

Good morning Mighty Fam! Woke at 4am with a migraine but thank God it has passed. I got up and got one rizatriptan and two excedrin and microwaved my axolot heating pad my bestie gave me. Laid back down for an hour and a half and miraculously the pain passed. Thank You Lord. I have work today that has to be done either way so I am glad I am migraine free. I wake often with migraine. When I can make it go away in the first couple hours I am usually good. But if it doesn’t go away in an hour or two with meds and heat it means the rest of the day gonna be varying migraine pain. Migraines suck! (Pic is the heating pad my bestie gave me and my two doggies that keep me company when I am feeling bad) #Migraine #Headache #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #Sarcoidosis #PolycysticOvarySyndrome #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #MightyPets

I am excited today about work because my promotion starts next week. I was so worried about it but I have prayed a lot and am really feeling peace now. Which is great because I am so quick to get anxious about things. I will be working five days a week instead of four so tomorrow will be my last Friday off. That worried me because I get so fatigued but I am just going to take the best care of myself as I know how. God is good. #ADHD #Depression #Anxiety #Sarcoidosis #Headache #Migraine #PolycysticOvarySyndrome #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #ChronicFatigueSyndrome

I definitely need to work on how often I vent frustration with the body I have been given. Every so often I have to stop and readjust my thoughts for the better, thanking my body for all it does to try to do what I want.
It does the best it can and I need to appreciate what it can offer.

About 4 years ago I was diagnosed with a very rare form of muscular dystrophy called oculopharyngeal, also known as OPMD. It’s a slowly progressive disease that initially affects your ability to swallow as well as the drooping of the eyelids. My eyelids were so bad that it affected my ability to see well. In October of 2023 I had surgery to correct that. Who knows how long that will last, but for now I'm super happy about the results! For the last year or so my hips and legs have become significantly weaker. It affects my ability to walk and be mobile. I have fallen a few times so now I use a rollator to move about my home. It keeps me mostly homebound and bed bound. It can be so very lonely. For someone who is a people person, this is very hard. I will say that I have a wonderful husband who takes great care of me, at times making me feel guilty and like I am a burden. I also struggle with fibromyalgia, ibs, hypothyroidism and incredible fatigue! #OPMD #ChronicFatigue #Fibromyalgia

I am so very sick and tired of this headache!!!! I swear I have had it for a month now. Sometimes it get so bad I can hardly move and other times are like now…it just here bothering me. I take Topamax and that used to keep my migraines at bay but it just not working any more. My doc told me to find out what my insurance will cover so we can try something else. It is all very overwhelming. And I have to go to work. It is exhausting. Praise God for Rizatriptan. It gives me some break so I can at least get through my work day. How do y’all handle life during bad migraine times?

Crimson by Melanie R.
Crimson red-
against the snow.
My heartache bleeds,
and nearly froze!
I turn to you
and say a prayer,
release me Lord,
from pain
and spare…
my heart from this deep suffering…
the ache,
the hurt…,
my mind
wandering.
Crimson red,
down and blue.
White of snow,
thoughts of you.
Buffalo blizzard…
A frozen cry;
of time felt lost,
and days gone by.
I reach for you;
long to hold you….
Still feel your love around.
It wasn’t just the ordinary,
pure love is what we found.
Although time goes;
will never fade.
Swirls like wind,
still falls like rain.
Our hearts hold onto memories.
Days up,
then down,
like swaying trees.
Crimson red,
Hearts of truth.
Cold of snow,
Thoughts of you.
Red cardinal singing
love’s song of faith.
Holy Water springing,
by pearl o’heaven’s gate
.
A timely whispered love song,
her music sung deep blue.
Sets free-
releases sadness,
as spirit’s called to you.
Consecrated,
Soul guided.
As He too heard our cries,
He knows of all the suffering,
every groaning,
every sigh.
Crimson red
the blood was poured;
robes washed white-
Calvary brought forth!
So shout. Hallelujah!”
and say, AMEN!
to Our Sovereign Lord,
and most earnest friend!
Heart crimson red;
Lord’s Promises True.
He carried The Cross…
and message for you!
John 16:22
Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again. And you will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away.
Romans 8:26
In the same way, The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but The Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
Psalm 145:18
The Lord is near to all who call Him.
To all who call on Him in truth.
Mark 9:3
His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them.
Revelation 7:14
These are they that have come out of great tribulation, they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb.

Years ago my dad put me on a weight loss medication called Adipex and it made me lose all the weight but it caused me to breakout all over my face now my face is full of marks but on the bright side I am going to a dermatologist now. I gained back the weight even more now. I hope to never go back on any pills that make me breakout on my face that made me feel so embarrassed. Does anyone know how I can lose the weight quickly and safely? I am on medications for mental illness and they make me feel hungry. I just want to lose the weight naturally. It’s hard because both of my parents are diabetic and my mom likes to feed me. It would mean the world to me if I lost all this weight naturally forever and kept off all the unwanted weight forever
