I don’t have anyone to talk to

[Lobste]

I’m 64 and have had a pretty normal life. However 3 years ago I had a stroke and find myself very much alone. I have no one to talk to.

Hi Lobste,Welcome to your forum of new friends and supporters.

We are genuinely sharing and caring people who are interested to here what's happening as much as what's going wrong.

Hoping you be a contributor who makes the world a better place. This is relevant because we are based in different countries and time zones.

Will you talk to me? About anything really

[Lobste in reply to blackcat64013]

just to get my mail nd off this anxiety

[Lobste]

mind

[blackcat64013]

Our talking is the kind what happens outside the therapy room. We might share lived experiences of health concerns, art, poetry, photos etc.

This is one of the benefits our community engagement. You opt in as often as you like, to contribute what you can.

Anything

Im 66 years old and disabled. I live in MI on a farm. What type of things are you interested in? I make miniature dollhouse rooms for something to do. It can be infuriating at times because everything is small and my hands don’t move like they used to. I also raise chickens. 🐓

[CLB1125 in reply to Nothing_but_books]

That’s amazing

[Nothing_but_books in reply to CLB1125]

Just when you think you've seen everything. 😊

[CLB1125]

I have tried just about everything in crafts. My husband just shakes his head. Lol. I bought all the stuff to try pour painting. It should be interesting! Lol

[CLB1125]

I get around ok. I have severe migraines and have fibromyalgia. My back is a mess so walking and standing is painful. Dr said too many years on the farm.

[Lobste in reply to CLB1125]

Oh lord! Migraines suck!

[CLB1125]

yes they do! I’ve had them since I was a kid. They have gotten progressively worse over the years. I haven’t found anything that helps them anymore.

[Lobste in reply to CLB1125]

I wish I could help. Bed rest is the only thing that helps.

[CLB1125]

I use ice a lot. right now I take emgality shots once a month and then rizatriptan for breakthrough headaches. but I'm getting them more and more often.

[Lobste]

yuk

[Lobste in reply to Lobste]

At least you’re getting help for it

[CLB1125]

finally I found a doctor that actually understands and cares

[Lobste in reply to CLB1125]

that helps.
