Medical Conditions

I have received an email asking me what my medical conditions are that limit me to not be able to work. Well, currently I have been diagnosed with Epilepsy, Fibromyalgia, two forms of Arthritis, and Depression. Individually none of these would be all that limiting for me but unfortunately they each interact with each other and it is a none stop circle of pain and issues. For five years now I have also been having one infection after another, some more serious then others and most employers don't like it when you have to call in sick every other week. I live in pain day after day from head to toe, it never goes away. I could take pain medications the Dr.'s prescribe me but then  I would be so doped up all the time I would not be able to take care of my children or drive a car. I do try to continue to do physical therapy as much as I can, however when you do not have a real income or any medical insurance it is almost impossible to do this.
Five years ago I got a sever bladder infection... which should have been no big deal so I went to the doc and got meds and thought I would be better. Instead the infection did not go away even with multiple doses of antibiotics. They even placed me in the hospital and used IV antibiotics. After almost two years of this infection getting so severe that I was even peeing pure blood, it finally went away with no real reason. During that time I also had to endure having a camera place up my urethra and multiple hospital stays. I thought after the infection went away at least I could finally get on with life but instead I suddenly got a severe yeast infection, which is actually quite normal after being on antibiotics for a long period of time. Again, this should have not been a big deal but it would not go away and kept getting worse, then I finally did not have a yeast infection but instead I had a full blown infection in my uterus. I bled non stop for months, I had multiple Dr. visits until finally my Dr. decided it could not keep going since I was becoming severely anemic, so she removed my uterus. This is called a historectomy, however in my case it was only a partial since they left my ovaries. Since then I have had infections in my eyes, ears, nose, throat, toes, kidneys, lungs, bladder, and intestines, you would think that this would mean I have a low immune system but according to the infectious disease Dr. there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with me. Most recently they have found a dark spot on my right lobe in my lung, we do not know what it is caused from but they want to sit and wait to see if it grows before doing anything else. My grandmother died of lung cancer, my grandfather died of prostate cancer, my cousin died of lymphatic caner at my age, and almost all of the other close relatives on my father's side of the family have died from one form of cancer or another. I worry of course but what more can I do so I sit and wait and hope the Dr. is doing what is right. I have attempted to work a few times over the many years since my divorce but only to get so sick that I can't work and then get fired for low attendance. I have tried finding work from home but this is not an easy task, I have tried answering questions which at only two cents per question made me no money, I have tried finding a job answering phone calls for Dr offices and such but could not find any positions. I have also applied for one reputable company only to get turned down because I had a misdemeaner theft from when I was 18, and mind you people I am now 34 and yet this still was the reason why they denied me. I have many ideas for business I could guarantee would make a ton of money but of course you have to have money to make money, I will go over my ideas in some other blog some other time. My credit was totally screwed when I was married due to both of our stupidity. Anyways, back to the original subject; I am sick almost all the time, when I am not sick I am in pain and when I am not in pain well those days never happen. I miss the days when I was healthy and could swim everyday and camp and hike and ride bikes and all the many other activities I use to enjoy, however I do the best I can to keep up with my kids, keep my house clean and live day to day. 

Politics Today

     All I can say is WOW... Americans are being fed a HUGE pile of bullshit!! ALL politicians are liars and deceivers. Do not let any add or commentary jerk or anyone else convince you otherwise. I use to have faith in our system but during the last 10 years I have lost any and all faith I had in the US government.
     Let me start by telling you that I can trace my family back to coming to the US on the Mayflower and to signing the declaration of independence. My family has many politicians, actors, bankers and other various people who honestly, at this point in time, I consider evil enemies! No I am not a paranoid delusional person who thinks the government is tapping my phones or video taping my every move, I have never been diagnosed with any mental problems other than depression, which honestly don't we all have some form of depression or another anymore?
     If I ran my personal life and bank account the way the politicians run the government and the people's money I would be not only broke, but also in prison, I would be homeless, my children would have been taken from me and I would have NOTHING at all, not even a shirt to wear. Thank about it people, our country has more debt today then it has EVER had in its entire history. It makes me laugh that people try to blame this on either Obama or on Clinton. Look at the facts, Clinton not only had us out of debt but also had money in savings for this country!! Then Bush comes into office and he makes every single wrong turn he possibly could to get us where we don't have money in savings and we are in debt and even in a recession! Honestly people wake up, we are not in a recession we are in a depression and it is only going to get worse and worse and worse. Even if someone does the right things which no I do not think Obama is doing the right things. Not because I think he is the anti-christ and no I do not think he is TRYING to do the wrong things. However, I think he is trying to do things the political way! No way will a political fix do anything for any of this countries problems. A) Bush never should have bailed out the banks... I mean honestly if you and I write bad checks and get behind in bills do we get help or a bail out? NO, we have to fix it ourselves or we lose everything and the rich need to learn that lesson too! B) Why are we giving tax breaks to companies who move their warehouses and manufacturing facilities out of the country? Why are we not supporting the idea of being American anymore? Seriously I say we should hit the companies making products in other countries and trying to sell here with HUGE amounts of taxes, then give them HUGE tax breaks if they bring their business back to the US. Bring them back to the US and you will bring more jobs back here, then more people will be working and more people will have money to buy those companies products which should be cheaper for Americans to buy than other countries because they get tax breaks for making the products here. Then we should put Embargos on other countries, almost all the other countries have Embargos and you don't see them being hated or losing political ground with other countries. Besides, honestly we need to start worrying about ourselves rather than other countries for a while. Here is how I look at it... I cannot help someone else if I am drowning in my own problems, its not that I don't feel for them and its not that I don't want to help them, I just can't. I need to focus on me and fixing my problems first, then once I fix my problems and things are going well in my own home THEN and only then can I help someone else. I believe that it is the right thing to do to help others, but it does no good to go out on a lake to rescue someone if the ice is thin and I fall in and die with them. First I need to find a way to thicken the ice or give myself a life line and then I can go out and help them and save them. Why does anyone ever think differently? Anyways, back to what I was saying. NO MATTER what ANYONE does whether it be good or bad, this country is going to get worse, our money will become less, our jobs will become less and less and everything will just get worse before it gets better! It is just like when someone gets shot, sometimes you have to open the wound wider and make that person lose even more blood before you can remove the bullet and give them blood and then sew them up so they can get better. People need to stop trying to make everything harder then it needs to be, stop reading into who did what, or thinking there are conspiracies or that it will take some HUGE strategic changes in order for things to be fixed. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE PEOPLE!!!! Government needs to stop paying 10 million dollars to have a restroom built, they need to find the honest hard working Americans in nowhere US and have them do the same work or even better work for a reasonable and normal price. I mean seriously it really is all common sense, not one single thing that has gone wrong is more then some politician trying to make it seem more complicated, they try to do this to confuse us and to keep us in the dark and Americans are letting them do it. Most of Americans fall for what they say hook line and sinker. I have so many ways to fix almost every wrong in this country, but politics would never do the easy fixes and they don't care. Most of the reason why they do not care is because we have politicians like Bush who own oil companies that he makes billions of dollars from and so of course he is going to do whatever he can to find a way to keep making that money. Obama, well his problem is that he wants to change things but knows he has a ton of politicians who will make it impossible for him to do so. So he passes the things he knows he can and he gives way to other politicians and accepts their bull crap because that is what a President has to do in order to do anything. I do NOT think that anything he is doing now is going to fix anything. Obama, if you want to fix health care the best way to do it would be to get Americans jobs so they can afford the health care, put restrictions on health insurance companies on how much they can charge the American people, and then put restrictions on health care providers to keep them from charging tremendous amounts for stupid things. I mean honestly it does not cost a hospital 10 thousand dollars to run a CT scan!!! I don't know... it is all very irritating. I know that I am ranting a bit but everyday that goes by I see things get worse and worse and this country become less and less like our fore fathers wanted.

     If anyone out there has any questions or even more to add to this please do so. I am eager to hear others opinions or even to see if anyone will pay attention to this! If you even have a curiosity about what I think about something in the news of politics today just ask away I will be happy to try to keep my responses short! :D
