Bragging Rights:

I found out a few years back that my health is deteriorating due to severe complications from a very extremely rare form of diabetes. It's only in a few medical journals and it combines the worst of both Type 1 & Type 2 diabetes. This has given me a very bad heart condition and extreme & constant debilitating pain due to autonomic (effects internal organs) & peripheral neuropathy which affects the skin, joints, muscles, etc. There also is a long list of other complications from the diabetes itself. I persevere though I am not sure why. Believe me constant pain can drive you insane. I decided a while back to stop taking all the narcotics & opiates for the pain because I didn’t like how they made me feel. The neuropathy will never go away even with my diabetes in check & rock solid. In time it will only progress & all I can do is find a way to cope with it mentally. My heart issues have ended up giving me severe anxiety issues which make me not want to go anywhere anymore. Though the only way to combat that is to go out and do something but the pain makes that difficult. So I try to lose myself in photography but that has been made hard to due from all the medical complications. Even so I love, love photography old school style & the new digital. I like relaxing with friends and watching a good movie or whatever catches my attention on TV. I enjoy going out to dinner & drinks. I enjoy spending as much time with my dogs as much as possible. I am headstrong, temperamental, argumentative & opinionated. I also am thoughtful, caring, kind & a friend to any who needs one.
