Spriggy, aren't you the "hypochondriac dork" from some board or other posted 5/9/05. Yeah and a ministers wife to boot?
Look at it this way. Your body is already "addicted" to lupus and fibromyalgia. Plus you are addicted to "doing-good" and "service" It seems to me that you already have so much to deal with that anything that can bring relief from these illnesses has bery little abuse factor in it. You are seriously ill. So treat yourself seriously. I'm a boozer. I don't need it but I want it. You've got some really serious health issues. Stop being a "hypochonriac dork" and take your meds so that you can feel better when it comes to bealing with all the churchy people and self-appointed "god squad vigilantees" Frankly, "church people" are a serious stressor-I'd rather say "pain in the..." But then I've been a hypochondriac dork all my life. All the chest pain and depression was in my mind. My heartheart did not give a damn. It made me sick anyway. I take my meds and don't give a damn if I abuse them-i.e.-take more than prescribed. There are times when a double dose keeps my heart, it seems, from leaping out of my chest. Take care of yourself, you've got enuff to deal with. I mean don't beat yourself up, your body will do it for you. good luck, cockeyed.
