Sorry if I misunderstood your recent postings Monica.
The arthritis I’ve got was diagnosed in 1987 as Reiter’s arthritis, by googling it to check the spelling I’ve found out they’ve changed its name. First to reiters syndrome and now reactive arthritis. It was particularly bad when I first got it, I was in hospital for weeks before they concluded what it was, apparently It was caused by me contracting an STD.
But basically it sort of cleared up for about ten years and then came back with a vengeance, probably through the same thing again. Since then it’s been something that’s always present cold winters definitely the worst times for it. When it is bad though it is painful just to hold the steering wheel.
We might all have different issues and reasons for ending up as CG’s , one thing that seems to be a common trait amongst us, is that not much in our lives is straight forward. Would our lives be so complicated if we never ever gambled?
“Chaos is a ladder” that’s a quote from game of thrones. I believe it to be true though, from the chaos we can climb up and above it all.
Monica I do get it about the food bank, I do totally get it. Loads of people simply refuse to use them I know that. It’s disgraceful in so many respects to have them in this day and age. (However in some parts of the world such things would be considered a blessing, a luxury in some places).
I’m not knocking you for refusing to go. I tried to go about 18 months ago but because I didn’t have a referral they wouldn’t help me. Hopefully I’ll never end up in the position again when that becomes my only option to get some food inside of me.
I know it’s been mentioned before on your thread, and always wonder if you’ve made any enquiries about voluntary work. Believe me Monica there are many people worse off than all of us here, you have a lot you could share. It can also lead to more opportunities for the volunteer.
