This upcoming year I hope proves to be a decent one for myself. With the different autoimmune diseases I have, I've struggled with both this year. My prayers are for all of you to have a good 2015 and then some!
May you and your family have the safest and healthiest Holiday and Happy New Year!

Hi frustrated,
Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year from the UK.
Haven't seen you around for awhile, thought you done a runner! hehe... Probably beat me in a race anyway.
Anyway, nice to see you around again.
All the best,
Les & Family...xx
Thank you Frustrated for those kind words. I add my owm felicitations to yours for this Christmas tide and for 2015 which is almost upon us to all the contributors and followers. You are all so important to me. Thank you for all you have given me so generously and kindly in 2014.
Happy holidays to each of you from Oregon, USA! --Suzanne
Happy holidays and also happy new year to all. I am new to this community but it feels a lot better to share my issues with someone other than the doctor and listen to others like me.
Thank you. May I in turn wish you a happy Christmas tide and confident hope and joy in 2015. I also welcome you to the forum. I have found the forum to be much more important to maintaining my morale than the doctors and consultants. I hope you gain both information and comfort from the forum.

Thank you frustrated!
My best wishes to you and everyone out here!
Stay in good health, stay blessed!

Thank you for the lovely wish.
Back to you, Suzanne. Have a healthy and wonderful New Year! From Michigan, USA!
Hi Les ~
Thank you for your kind words! Nah, I'm not a runner LOL, silly. I've been out of commission due to my eyes. Sjogren's is such an awful disease and I don't wish it upon anyone. I'm still mending the corneas as they were scratched pretty good from the dryness. And, yes, I use all kinds of ointments and gels to keep them moist, but when they are so severly dry, it's hard to maintain while sleeping...that's when the corneas were damaged. Anyway, I'm rambling. I'll probably be back around or close thereafter the New Year with hopes that my eye sight is on the mend.
Happy New Year and stay healthy!
Warm regards,
Frustrated and family! <3
Doc!
Ditto on you being important to me as well! I miss all the discussions but will be back soon. I wish you and Anne a healthy and happy New Year!
We all deserve to be happy!
All my love,
Frustrated
Hi frustrated,
You're more than welcome! I was referring to a wheelchair race, trouble is I cannot steer, which is a good start...lol
I am actually waiting for prostate cancer results at the moment, just waiting for Urology Consultant to get back to me, or my doctor. And just before Christmas I thought I was having a heart attack, with blood test and x-rays, it turned out to be pleurisy - first time I have had it in my life.
Makes me think what the heck is coming next, had so many ops, and meds! Perhaps 2015 will bring some better memories than hospitals and doctors.
All the best frustrated and family,
from
Les & family.
What! another from Michigan? No! it is Frustrated. It is so wonderful to see you reading and posting to the forum again. That is such a wonderful gift to us this Christmas Tide.
I hope you all, contributors and followers, have had joy in family and friends that has, for a while at least, transcended the daily pains, troubles and anxieties that beset us all. I wish you joy during the rest of this holiday period and on into 2015,
I know I had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. I felt I was a real part the human race once more when I saw my daughter in law relax and comment that I was able to laugh with them. She then started to tease me, just as her daughter loves to do. How she laughed when I put on the pink crown I got from my cracker. Then she started to call me 'néni' instead of 'bácsi' ( dame instead of old man/uncle in Hungarian and my nick-name thaat my two year old granddaughter gave me. 'Néni' became a standing joke. I could laugh along with them for I know who and what I am and have been man and boy. Still we find the subtle changes in attitude and taste and body shape wrought by hormone therapy quite fascinating.
As we approach 2015 I know that I can rely on you all for solace, comfort, friendship, fun and advice through the coming months and years. For that I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I am indeed so very glad to have met you on this forum
I do hope so Les. What joy even to have a run of stability. Better still if some of your troubles melted away never to return. I do pray that it may be so.
George
O WOW! when carressed like that what can Doc do but be quite bowled over. Awe sucks, Frustrated! My toes are turned in again and my cheeks and ears flame bright scarlet.Oo I must remember to breath. I may manage a wee shy smile soon and a wee keek out of an eye dimned with a sparkling tear.
Hi Les ~
I'm sorry to hear about the possibilities of prostate cancer. I will say a prayer for you. Pleurisy is very painful. I've had in years ago and I thought the same as you, a heart attack. It is so difficult to take a deep breath w/o pain. Hope you're on the mend.
And, nothing but good is coming next! This year is supposed to be a good year for all. Let's hope the predictions are true. I agree, I'm done with the memories be of doctors and hospitals...DONE, kaupt!
Warm regards,
Frustrated
