"Bev, I just tried to cut-and-paste this on the board and my computer wouldn't let me....if you would do me the favor if your computer will let you and cut and paste this e-mail on the boards, I would REALLY appreciate it!
I TRULY didn't mean to worry anyone....I feel awful!
I think I've been trying to avoid things lately. I've ben going shopping A LOT (not with money, with my eyes) as an escape. I can't keep thinking and doing research about what's wrong...I need to LIVE!
I've also been trying to get an at-home job. I put an ad in the community classifieds here as a tutor. I hope I get some bites! I am also going to help with fundraising for a Charity org. by making phone calls at home.
I've been going through a LOT of emotions! And I don't know how to deal with them...
I AM doing Mike's hypno tapes....second go-around!
I feel like I'm doing all the right things.....
I am going to call a referral service today and make an appointment with an immunologist and an allergist. I hope that whoever I am referred to will spend time answering my questions...I've got lots! I still believe there is an underlying cause of all my body's malfunctions lately. I'm not a doc......but I'm an experienced patient!  I truly feel it is my immune system gone crazy and the culprit is allergies.
I'm going to go ahead and post this on the boards....you convinced me! I'm not exactly sure why I felt I couldn't post....I DO know avoidance was a big part of it. I feel like the board is a place I go to face things.....
I am SO SORRY to everyone on the boards that was worried for me......that was NOT my intention! *tears welling up in my eyes* I don't know what I'm dealing with here.....but it's painful and scary! My hubby and I had a talk last night about why I'm overeating the past few months (since I've been rally sick). We realize it is emotional based. We DON'T know what to do about it. Some of the things causing me to eat emotionally are my illness...something I can't control. We're going to try to figure out what to do to get me help. A diet isn't the solution....that is just a "cure" of the symptom. Getting to the heart of the emotions I am dealing with and learning to cope with my personal situation is really what will help me get better!
Love with all my heart,
Ruchie"

Thanks for posting this for me Bev! I don't get computers so well and It hink I pressed a wrong button or somehting...
I just want to let everyone know the subject was suppoes to be "bev brought me out of my hole". I can't thank you enough Bev for caring so much........this is a VERY hard time for me and having someone like you makes it a little easier to cope.
I haven't even been reading posts on the board these past couple of weeks....so I have a lot of catching up to do. PLEASE be patient with me! And if I respond to something that's a few weeks old...hope no one minds! 
Ok, off to read the boards.......
I love all of you mucho grande!
*hugs*

Ruchie, I'm so glad to see you back on the boards again! I really missed your smiling face. I'm so sorry you've been going through such a tough time, though. That must be so incredibly frustrating. I hope you get things figured out soon! And remember, you can ALWAYS post here. No matter what's going on, we love ya, and we're here to offer support!

HI Ruchie,
So sorry you've been so sick. I feel a lot the way you do. I never feel good. I also had sinus problems about a year ago. I was sick for 4 months with it. I had streap, mono,and a sinus infection. I one cold after another, sore throat after another...etc!! I was on 4 different antibiotics. It finaly went away after we found the real problem..sinus infections only respond to certain drugs. I was miserable. I had headaches and earaches to no end. So I really feel bad for you. I hope things get better for you. I'm also going to go to an alergist and see if I have alergies. One day we'll feel better!!
Until then were lucky to have the boards! They really do help.
Good luck, I really hope you get feeling better!
Welcome back!

So what meds DID help you? I've been on Levaquin, Amoxicillin, Z-pak...those were the antibiotics. Now I'm on Augmentin and Amoxicillin. I'm also taking Afrin nasal spray, Astelin nasal spray, and Flonase nasal spray...allegra and singulari as well. I'm glad you got better! Did they find out WHY you were getting so many infections?
Thanks again for your post!
*hugs*

Ruchie,
You mentioned your concern about your emotion-based overeating. A friend of mine was really helped by Overeaters Anonymous. Just a thought...

I'm sorry you've been suffering and I sincerely hope that things start to improve for you soon.
I too retreat and withdraw when things get too bad. Strangely, if I'm in terrible pain, I can't stand to have others around me, no matter how kind or helpful they may be - I have to deal with it alone. Not sure why - perhaps that's a weakness on my part, or maybe just the way I deal with things, like retreat to draw on my inner reserves.
Anyway, I'm pleased to see your beautiful smiling face back with us.

Shells,
Me too on withdrawing when I'm in pain or upset. It's like I have to process it a while before I can stand to let others in. I don't think it's a weakness, more like a shock absorber for the soul!
