In reply to Cathe Ekas. Woah Cathe, I am so sorry to hear you went through that and to have Lyrica stop working? That's serious. I am so glad you found someone that makes you happy, you give me hope. Yes! I have an OTT Light too which I will put to good use when I am housebound in the winter. And you're right, I originally got it for my jewelry making which I hope to get back to some day. You are awesome Cathe, thank you so much. I am starting to feel like things are going to get better. I hope the Universe agrees.

Dear Suzie, Every day that goes by will make it a little easier. From someone who started over twice with just a suitcase. My situation called for escaping bad situations in a hurry. Now I have not had a full-scale attack. Lyrica had quit working. I still get flare-ups but on the mild side.14 years I have been with my knight-in-shining armor. He loves me unconditionally, even with all of my health issues. I take “Savella” for my Fibro, and it has been a life-saver, I have not had a full-blown flare in all this time that I have been on the Savella. Also, I live in Oregon where we get very gloomy days and a lot of rain. I sit under my (OTT Light). It is a full-spectrum light that mimics the sun. It has helped my fibro tremendously. They sell them at Michael’s and Joanne’s. It works for SAD also. It also is perfect when doing anything with color, it shows perfect colors. They aren’t cheap – but worth every penny. Both stores have coupons for 40-50% off. I’ve been using this light since the 1980’s and would not go without one.Good luck – you’ll get thru this. I believe that with my whole heart. We are stronger than we think we are. Hugs!!!

In reply to Tanaya. Tanaya, how lovely to hear from you my friend. Yes, we have known each other here online forever. Yes, I remember when you went through your own personal crisis. Thank you so much for reaching out and yes, all encompassing, what truth. Thank you for letting me know it will get better. I go through so many moments of deep fear, sadness and panic. I know it will take time for your comment helps a lot. The last year of my life was hell and now I am in recovery. I feel like I am in personal and physical triage. Thank you Tanaya, so very much. Love and light to you.

Suzie, I’ve been offline and not connected for some time now. I just caught up on your blog and am sending you all my love. We’ve ‘known’ eachother since our very first blogs, what, over 15 years ago. You saw me through my cross-country move and divorce and I admire your understanding and commitment to doing the right thing.

I know how hard this time is. How deeply personal and all encompassing it is. You are not alone. You are loved and cared for. And I promise, as hard as it is, it keeps getting better. This recovery phase will be long and hard, but you will come out of it. Don’t underestimate how much of a toll the struggle of the past couple years has had on your health. Emotional stress is the heaviest thing we can carry, as you heal and grow your health will improve so much.

Wishing you rest, compassion, peace, healing and joy thrown in for good measure.

Hi Suzie! Oh I’m so sorry, I somehow missed all of this!!! I can see by the photo of you that you are healing! You will be okay, I know it sounds trite, but really, you will be. We only go through life once, take care of yourself! Can I make you feel better? I’m in the Laurentians in northern Queeeeebec and we just got 2 feet of snow to shovel. 😉 Life has many twists and turns, I think that despite your grief, you are on the right path and a new beginning is just around the corner. 🙂 xx

Oh Suzie my heart breaks as I read this. My 13 year long marriage (my 2nd) ended more than ten years ago. But your post here takes me right back to that time and how devastated I was. Divorce is very underated. It is surely as difficult as grieving a lost loved one and you have to give yourself credit for how tough it is and be very gentle with yourself. It takes a long time. sending you all my love.
