May 2013 update

Hello readers. Hope you are doing well and able to take care of yourselves. I would say I'm doing well. I still have my ups and downs but hey, I still here. My bones continue to hurt everyday, more so than before. And, I still have the sore throats, fevers, intermittent lung pains, and fatigue. Just get so tired. Like coma tired. Sleep does not help. So, people telling me to rest does not help (I don't get mad, I know they mean well). I still have days when I just get mad about it all. I get sick of the pain, the fatigue, and just feeling like crap most of the time. What does get under my skin is when others complain about mild symptoms that they have had come on-sore throat, for example. I know that it isn't always there and it does hurt but, really? $&7)&$($. He he. I honestly try not to think too much about "Why me?" Because honestly, why not me? I would rather have this than have the children suffer with it. If I could take neutropenia away from them,I would in a heart beat. Anyway, now I'm just ranting :) wanted to send a quick update. Thanks for reading. Take care. Kat

Neutropenia: real symptoms

To the individual who wrote this evening-E-thank you!!! I am so glad my blog has helped you feel less alone and that your ailments are 'real'-sore throats, fever, mouth sores, bone pain, bruising, bleeding gums, etc. Your message made me smile-not because of your symptoms and what you go through-but because I have felt that exact same way! Alone, hypochondriac, symptoms that make no sense, etc. please know I'm glad my blog helped you! I'll write more for everyone later. Take care all. Kat
