Hi,
I'm from New Zealand where it is now Summer time. I turned 60 in Dec so am post menopausal. I've been a single parent since 1996 and have 2 lovely daughters 31 and 29, who live away from home and have their own lives
In March this year my lovely boyfriend of 4 years is moving in with me, I'm very excited but nervous too, mainly because of my health flares! I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Interstitial Cystitis and a few other goodies. Luckily my flares don't re-occur too often, but sometimes I get a new symptom. I have a lot of anxiety around my health (which is generally good) and find it hard to cope when this happens. I have a bad habit of jumping to the wrong conclusion and always thinking of the worse scenario. My big fear is the big C .
I am a relieving teacher, so work 2 or 3 days per week, which I love. I like to fast walk every day and try to eat healthy food and keep my weight down.
Am currently waiting to see my gynae next Tues for my yearly check up and to find out why I've had a couple of episodes of vaginal bleeding. Have put up a thread about it and have 2 helpful replies, thank you ladies
Cheers, Lesley Joy
