Hello members,


Over the last year I have really enjoyed being your Community Manager. You have all inspired me with your stories of strength facing your different conditions and you have opened my mind through reading your discussions.


It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to you all.emoticon frown-big I wish you all the very best going forward and I hope you all continue using Carenity and finding it a useful support tool.


It’s my pleasure to introduce Michael who will be moderating the UK forum from here on out. Be sure to give him a hearty welcome and don’t hesitate to contact him with your questions or concerns.


Much love,


Josephine

Hi Courtney 

I'm Paul.  I go to comic cons.  In female mode, I"m Paula.

I have rheumatoid arthritis, cerebral palsy and deaf.  I suffer from depression, doing Karaoke does helps.  Even though I sound like a cat, lol.

I make my own costumes.  

I don't know why but the last 2 Thursday I slept most of the day.  

From 

Paul

@Psulsayhi Hello Paul, thank you for introducing yourself. What a fun and creative hobby! Both the karaoke and the cosplay must be great ways to take your mind off things.

Looking forward to hearing from you again soon,

Courtney

Hi everyone, been really busy making pom pom blankets ,pom pom wreaths ,and small pom pom blankets for dolls prams ,also I have mad some canula sleeves for premature baby units, as this virus is making me so depressed been told to stay in for 12 weeks as I am fighting breast cancer, and have emphysema and other illnesses to as well as having no immunity as I am prone to catching everything that goes around ,last time I caught swine flu twice, but this worries me more as I dont think I would be able to fight this off as I have to much going on at the moment ,I was doing a stall for my breast cancer now but I have had to cancel that ,also I have had to cancel my birthday holiday, and I have also had to cancel mothers day so I am just trying to make things ,but with my PTSD low moods depression and anxiety it is making everything worse it's so upsetting I just hope they find a cure soon ,because being having to stay in is very upsetting hope everyone is doing ok as I'm not the only one having to adjust ,my daughter works in a supermarket and she is finding it hard as she keeps on being threatened and shouted at its ridiculous people panic buying as there wont be anything for others especially if they are buying all gluten free foods for dieting so people with coeliac disease is going to find it harder. Take care love to you all love Tiger xxx

Hello Tigger

I can understand the frustration of stopping in and cancelling everything. But you know that you can not afford to take chances with your underlining conditions. You are safest in our own home. Avoid visitors coming to our house, follow the strict hand washing routine and not touching your eyes nose or face without washing your hands. Eat healthy, include lot of fresh fruit and vegetables, keep your fluid intake , increase your Vitamin C intake, and if you are able to exercise, even if it means chair exercise, include them in your daily routine. Yes, people are stock piling and panic buying, which is very selfish of them, as people who are not, are having to go without when the panic buyers have stocked up their supplies from ceiling to floor. you take care and keep yourself occupied, listen to good music, do crossword puzzles, Sudoku, word search , whatever interests you. Good luck.
