I was recently diagnosed with an incurable, progressive autoimmune disease. In three years I have gone from superwoman to virtually housebound. All my friends have disappeared and I have no family support. But I keep going for my children and veacuse I deserve to live!

So sorry to hear about the decline in your health Sharilaine. I am a widow and keep on for my disabled daughter's sake. You sound like a strong woman and I gain a lot of comfort through your children. Best wishes
