Question The Ligt at the End of the Tunnel

Hello Members and Friends: I have mostly been off the board and the internet because of my health. When a person like myself or I am sure several have gotten to this point, there is not much left to say or is there?

Yes, no, I don't know. You know? The insurance system is so messed up and most everything comes to money. I believe that's why so many cdome to these boards. No strings and no requests from the administration in terms of money.

So they must care.

I am sure many of us have wondereed about the light at the end of the tunnel. Also, I am sure there are differents beliefs about what happens isf anything at all.

My post today is one from the heart. I wonder does it matter which board we may be on when we all are searching for answers. And even some searching forn the light from the darkness. I believe that light does exist.

I believe there are purposes for most everything if not all. From all walks of life we are here. What brought me to this point? Almost 10 years ago, my family doc(a great one), told me way back then I was going tom have a hard time.
I have now had 4 endoscopes and lucky for me I had stopped bleeding before the they were going to burn the blood vessels.

Even so, all of the events were tramautic for me. However, since I cannot take any anti-inflamatories or aspirins which they claimed caused the bleeding to begin with. In all honesty my entire life has been near traumatic for me. Why do I tell you this?

Because I am being told that my end is near. I am scared. In my mind, death is separation from all you know. At the same time, it does bring eternal peace with no pain or suffering. This is my opinion friends.

With all the boards on here, I sometimes wonder besides support, talking, info, are maybe we are all looking for the light as well. I am sorry to all of you that I have been unable to talk. Even when I do, it seems that I am going in circles. This may sound crazy, but I need a handshake, or maybe a hug. When I leave this world, I will leave caring about all of you.

Yes, I am sure I am somewhat depressed. So what, I am anxious, deaf in one ear, etc... but I do wish to touch those who wish to be a part of sharing and ideas I have expressed about my life.

I am very tired now, and will tell you more soon. May all be well and blessed, Sincerely,

Risky Business

Oh I get it Risky...I have been tapering my meds the last couple weeks still at 6 from 8. Well I have been having ALOT of trouble with my 19 yr old daughter. There is a story behind it but I wont get into it here. Anyway she started throwing up blood yesterday her stomach has been bad for awhile from taking alot of tylenol. Plus the break up with her boyfriend of 2 years she is a emitional mess. And I am very scared this has effected my taper plans for the moment today was supposed to be when I told myself I would drop to 5 tabs. With the added stress of her condition I dunno if I can. I will see at the end of the day if I can minus that pill.
I understand what you are going through my friend and my prayers are with you I have wondered how you are. Take care and God bless you.
Luv
Autumn.

R.B.
You are in mine and my families prayer's( as risky business!!), but I think God will know who we mean
One other thing, I too have had 2 endo scope's and 2 of the other scope's(no need to think of that!! those scope's both down 'da thoat and the one done in the rear , are not fun!!! But at 27(in 2 days!), I am scared, real scared!!! One of those things that make me think" I might as well be using "
I may have an extra year or 2, but damnit, I did it to myself, at least some of it~ Just hard for me to fathom
and I enjoyed your post It really helped me, my family has a history of colo cancer, and I have all the symptoms as well as severe colitis. Some people don't understand and think it's funny?? They just don't know what colitis is and does to you when it's severe!@ Thanks for the post telling each other to "just get along" in meth vs recovery. Some people just don't think before they post, and newbie's just can't get it that this is our experience's+opinion's!!!

A HUGE HUG FROM A.C.!!! WITH LOT'S OF LOVE!!!

OH , you can do it! Anything you need, old, A.C.
will be around!! I hope you daughter get's better!!
I tell you this 5/day is pretty good! Just don't force yourself, that may give you a "reason" to take more.
I'm proud of you, and back you 110%!!
A.C.

geez I had a ...well as AC would say "bothways" and a bronchoscopy and liver biopsy all in one damn week. Couldnt get a GI series, I kept launching the barium that I had to dink. LOL That's way too much probing for a man darn it! It's funny im not returning my doctors phone calls, like if he doesnt tell me bad news their wont be any. I got a letter in the mail though, my SED rate was very high, I guess tha's not good.

"THE LUCKLESS ONES ARE BROKEN"

My prays out to Risky and AC as always

All I wanna say is THANK YOU CADE! you have made me soooo much better. Check out the K-pin/Ativan, my response was mainly for you! When I had the 'rear' scope, I did,t eat for a day, and took "Fleets Phosfosoda" a potent laxative. All I had to do, was drik 1 bottle at 12pm and one at 6am. and 24 hrs before the scope,I couldnt eat.
OH, my first endoscope~ Thet gane me a little versed..... even after I told them all the similiar type dugs and it wouldn't work.....I ended up kicking a nurse , and trying to pull the scope out!! I actually
tore a small part of my stomach
I alway got you back and rooting you on!!
A.C.
