Subject: Hi Buzz!

I know that I shouldn't feel better just because I found someone like me, but man, I have the same "craft" disability. Because my abilities change from day to day (along with the energy and the pain), I, too, have at least 20 different projects in the works.

There is one very weird thing that has happened since I got sick. There was a time when I couldn't even draw a stick figure well, but some how I've developed some artistic talent because of all this. When I first got ill, I woke up one morning and designed an entire line of sleepwear. I could actually draw what I envisioned...very, very weird. Since then, I've worked in paints, pencils, watercolors, and pastels. I'm not good, but I'm infinitely better than I was in any art class I took. My neuro has gotten quite a kick out of this.

On the the disability issue. If you need it, apply NOW. Because I'm undx'd, it took some fortitude to get it (even with the agreement of my doctors and SSI's doctor). I ended up getting an attorney, just because I was too ill to deal with all the forms and the mountains of paper. I wish I could have his fee back ($4,000), but that's just the way things go. My heart is with you. Take care.
