Railroad Momma

How do I start a fresh thread under Women Veterans? Someone posted a way off topic into my Claims area where no one is going to respond. She said she didn't know how to start a thread. I haven't figured it out either. But the thread would be called "Fee-Basis Non VA Care discussion" Thanks! :-)

Hello Chica! It's me, rv1978semperfi. I'm finally able to come on and see how some of my gals are doing. How are things with you?

As for me, my husband and I made it through the tough patches and I have to admit we are much stronger then before. My head is in a cloud at times but that is because I'm still in school and stressing over my grades and the family at the same time. I'm back in couceling both group and individual and I can say it's helping me out. My counceler is a sweet heart and is patient and kind. She is so nice. I'm going to be apart of a clothesline project here in my area. I will paint a shirt with everything that happend to me and hang it in our downtown area. I see it as a spiritual thing by leting it go and finally moving forward. Enough about me, I want to hear from you. Hope to hear from you soon.

Laura - It's SgtSusie here again....still hanging in there. My last semester of school has been kickin' my butt!! I graduate on May 15th -will be so glad to have school in my rear view mirror!!! I still am waiting for a possible meds adjustment -but doc isn't going to do it until my thyroid number goes down - it was 16.2 -it's dropped to 11.3 -but normal is 3.2-3.8 - I have a hypoactive thyroid -underactive -which causes weight gain, depression, being tired all the time - GREAT huh? More shit I don't need to deal with!!! Any who - just thought I'd drop in and say THANKS for reaching out to so many of the ladies on this website!!! You are a blessing to ME and to all here at GAF!!!!

Thank you so much. Apologies for the dealy in responding. I have been uncharacteristically scattered since I got back last year, and just now feel like I am gettng it back together.

My number one concern has been anonyminity. I don;t want to be recognized, so I am loathe to post.

Thank You RailRoad Momma, Just logged in and relized I have messages. so sorry for getting back to you so late

Laura - thank you for your words of encouragement. I am still feeling way down - but I'm seeing my psychiatrist this week - hoping that a meds adjustment will start to adjust my mental health soon!! God's blessings to you my friend!
