All i ask is some relief from half of my pain.I have been housebound for 6 years because of the chronic pain.Every time i have to go in hospital ,it doesnt matter what ward i have to go on,the Doctors know me now and say,oh here comes Glo, our nightmare.They do everything they can ,but they say that i am so complex.I have even had the Professor from Cardiff university ring me up.HE TOLD ME THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE,IT IS JUST A MATTER OF FINDING IT.I wish they would hurry up and find it.They cant even find a Heart Surgeon to replace two of my heart valves for me,they said that i wouldnt survive the operation because of my other health problems.Im sorry for moaning about myself,but i have no on else to moan to,except my lovely Husband but he is not well himself and i cant keep worrying him.We have three lovely Sons and i know that it hurts them to see me like this.I have never put anything like this on the internet before,dont even know if i am doing it right.Hope so.Hope i can be a bit more cheerful in a few days time,instead of winging.Take care everyone.Glojo.

Breathlessness and fatigue. I would love it if I didn't have asthma and COPD :(

For me, it's the withdrawal from socialising, the not wanting to talk about difficulties and having to pretend. Yes I feel the emotional impacts, i'm very very lonely

As I suffer from Narcolepsy which includes Cataplexy and sensitivity to temperatures plus Fibromyalgia, the one thing I would love to lose is falling asleep when others are awake.
