Act of Terrorism or mental illness??? So many lives lost in one senseless act of violence in NOLA…

A man intentionally drove a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street as revelers were celebrating the new year, officials said. Sources told CBS News the driver is dead.

Hot tip……if you get into a committed relationship with someone that has chronic health issues please please please understand that that person may not be able to do anything for themselves for weeks to months at a time and a large burden is going to fall on you. Take the time to make sure you're able to handle it before you commit.
I didnt ask for my body to fail.
My favorite quote from my doctor was, “it can’t really be that bad if you are still working and doing everything you do. “ I told him I didn’t know I had a choice. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Years in pain, tired and the many changes in me for no reason or apparent reason ... Hiding everything from someone else, pretending to be doing better than you are; until it no longer works. No matter how strong you want to be.

Then the moment comes when they tell you what you have ... You have mixed feelings: you finally know what you have, but how do you deal with it?
Lack of encouragement, wanting to lie down, taking medication frequently; having a whole pharmacy on top of the nightstand.

Then, the daily responses, "Why did you get so fat?" “I have this great diet, if you just go out and exercised.
That once beautiful hair of yours now awful and it falls out.
What happened to you??....
This is all true and that's why I'm sharing it!

Silent and invisible diseases do exist ...
When you have an invisible disease it is difficult to argue from your perspective with ignorant people.
Life takes a lot of turns !!!

Tired of being told:
* Did you go to the doctor?
* Have you tried this?
* Have you tried that?
* I don’t know what else we can do for you...

Yes! I tried and still try everything !!!
Doctors say this disease is forever. That I will not heal. However, I am not giving up, but I want to make others realize:
* A nap will not cure me but it will help me ...
* I am not lazy, I take medication and it sometimes makes me sleepy.
* I am not angry but sometimes cranky with pain.
* I struggle daily with pain, mobility problems, fatigue, the criticism of my environment.

Most frustratingly, people look at me and say, "It can't be that bad; you look good "
Despite the fact that my body is experiencing excruciating pain everywhere, of course I look good, I always try to look good, it is an "invisible" disease.

This disease affects me physically, mentally and emotionally. Because rare autoimmune diseases cannot be seen, but we feel them.

And they are there ... Silent attack but extra painful.

I AM LOOKING AT THOSE WHO TAKE TIME TO READ THIS POST TO THE END.

Disappointment occurs when you expect “you” from someone else. But you don’t have to accept it, because this is what teaches them how to treat you.

Depend on your strength. Others will be attracted to it and your community will grow. Draw others by what is within you.

Business Process Improvement Tip. 1. Measure the baseline, then change one thing, and record the results. Changing multiple things at once will never get you to the source of the problem.

Unpopular topic - Sexual Health - Body Count
You cannot rule out STD’s other than by testing and clearly sharing the results. Trust God. For STD’s get tested and trust the results. If a person is hesitant, it can be because they know and will be rejected if you find out. You can sleep with one person and get multiple STD’s or sleep with 100’s of people and be STD free. Body count has nothing to do with it - but responsibility does.
