@karen00- Good morning. I'm so glad that you are reaching out to members again even though you seem to be in horrible pain. AM I wrong in thinking that it is pain that is keeping you from being active?
Panic Attacks are the worst! I recently wrote about ways to stay grounded to help get through these horrible times. IF you haven't read it here is another link to help: https://drsarahallen.com/7-ways-to-calm/
If you google grounding techniques there are more sites with many more suggestions.
Can I help in any other way? What does your doctor say about your present state?

@merpreb Hi Merry, thank you so much for checking on me!!! It means the world to me. Yes, pain keeps me from being active, both mental & physical. You are already helping by keeping up with me!!! Thanks for the link. My doctor has added an anti anxiety pill - small dosage to my regimen. My sleep has greatly improved and the attacks have gone away! I feel lots better! I wanted to wait until I saw how I did before answering you. So far, so good!! Again, thank you my friend!.....Karen

@merpreb Hi Merry, I need help. Nights are the worse. We got down to 1 tomato, 1 potato, and 3 cans of soup. I crave meat! Every time I get into bed, I wonder if I’m going to be able to get into a bed at the shelter (still have swelling from edema). And I’m still on oxygen. Will my oxygen keep others up? What about Kelly (my dog)? My friends have really let me down. Maybe I was being unrealistic, but I thought someone would offer to let us stay with them until things settle down. My faith is waning. Can you please just correspond with me? It helps to share ! Thanks
