Differently Abled (fly your freak flag high)

[Corkey]

Poor Gayla, if I had allergies to trees and grasses I would do as you and down some pills. I hope they help you very soon. My allergies are to foods, yea I eat stuff I really shouldn't but I got tired of bland. I can honestly say it's the fibro fog.
Have you tried an ice pack for your eyes in the meantime?

[Gayla]

Yeah, I did ice for a bit this morning and it helped but then had to go out in the world and all. He called in some drops and Flonase, I think. That should help.

It was just weird talking to him because I know I've been having issues the past couple of days with allergies but I really never made the connection. I mean, I have thyroid fog and I have fibro fog and I can usually tell the difference between them. It never crossed my mind that now I have hayfever fog to go along with both of those!

That would be much better than laying around with a bag of frozen peas on my face!

it is amazing! not only can you freeze it, you can microwave it. often times for me, heat works far better on my sinuses. usually though? i switch between hot and cold during the day/night, because after the heat dilates the sinuses? the cold can better bring down the swelling. amazing.

I'm backkkk..lol

I will not mention any names but I stopped frequenting the site due to some people on here who didn't understand my diffrent abilities. I felt put asisde by being corrected and constantly told I was spelling things wrong. Also it was mentioned I sure have alot of times I get hurt.

Soooo....I am back and I will better explain how I Roll...smiles
In short of course...lol


I have a disorder that creates the blood to pool to the bottom part of my body..which starves my brain, heart and other organs from recieving blood and oxygen.

This creates moments of slow thought process "which I deal with and laugh at" and also makes me pass out or fall alot. Thus why I get hurt alot. "Also something I get up and laugh at myself for. After the fact that is."

It also creates a short term memory issue at times which comes back when I lay down or when I am not having a flare.

It sometimes makes me spell things wrong or leave out letters as well. This is something I used to pride myself in but now I simply just have to correct my mistakes when I see them. And again add it to the list of things to laugh at.

Along with this I have Fibromyalgia which holds alot of the same symptoms.
Except for pain is associated with it at times.
I have learn't to handle both well but others often don't understand why I do what I do.

I work hard at keeping stress under tabs because this can set both off.

I know I don't have to explain myself to anyone here but perhaps next time I type something wrong or forget something common...maybe this will help to show why and it won't be an issue anymore for others.

Just because one doesn't spell right or remember on the mark..does not make them stupid....They may come back one day in a post...and blow your mind with what they know and have hidden...Just saying


SMILES...Have a nice day.

Welcome back Lady Pamela!

I have fibromyalgia and bipolar and possibly MS. My memory is not good as well.
It is not your spelling I have ever noticed but the depth of your posts and what you have to share.
People jump to conclusions too often I feel. There is a real person behind the keyboard with real feelings and a personal history that people online are not always aware of that make up the whole person.
We have some good days and some not so good. That goes for everybody not just those that are differently abled.

Lady Pamela? I'm jumping all over you and giving you a giant hug.

In this thread you get to forget your name, spell everything you can wrong, and forget whey you came in here in the first place.

When I say "Fly Your Freak Flag High" I mean that it is the unique things about you that you should be proudest of here. You are not alone.

As the D/A Ambassador, you come and tell me immediately if someone mocks you or tries to make you feel small. You are ten feet tall here and as safe as a Lady can be on the internet, yanno?

The Planet works really hard to ensure that for our population. I have moderation powers. However; I will always approach a person who clearly doesn't know that what they are saying is like opening the door of a yoga center and letting loose a pack rabid dogs.

Mind you I cannot force a person to possess empathy or compassion. As we come out of the shadows of the differently abled, the wolves are going to follow too. I'd love to say ignore them but we know that is not possible. So tell one of us and we shall shield you.

Fibromyalgia flare ups are bad enough without over thinking what you need to talk about.

In my perfect world, once I know something I say is disparaging to another human being? I simply won't say it. Not out o censorshipn. Rather, out of love.

In fact, I'd love to say and type more but I am just too ill today. Please don' say away Lady Pamela. You com right on in here, spell bad, forget my name and what day it is and let the blood pool wherever you wan.

Sorry, I'm just to high temped to continue. Please keep coming here. You are wanted here and welcomed and loved. Oh, and my hospital now has the wi-fi.

I
am
a
little off.

So hugs, kissed,and stuff. See you all soon.

If I don't nap i will end up either shooting Sara Maclauhhlin ot marry Michael Vick.

hold me.

I'm one of the worst spellers around. My wife can attest to that, so don't worry about if you get the words mixed up, spelled wrong or just dropped altogether. WE understand you. It's the same crap from the same ones who have issues with themselves. It is their problem not yours.

The power of the report button is there for a reason, so you can still have your voice, it is just as important as anyone else's.
