Oh dear, I'm so sorry that this happened! I'll admit to not checking for birthdays but if I notice a thread, I'm sure to include my good birthday wishes. I've been tied up in knots w/my Yodie and her situation but I've tried to keep up w/threads on PT. If it'll make you feel any better, I spent my 60th birthday alone, wandering the mall feeling sorry for myself. If it hadn't been for my son calling me and sending me a gift, I would've been completely overlooked and forgotten (except for PT bday wishes). I'm not trying to highjack your thread, just wanted to let you know that I can empathize w/you and can't explain why these things happen. People just get so caught up in their own lives/problems, etc. Since then, I've made an effort to make new friends and it's now beginning to pay off. You're so young yet and I would advise you to do the same. Hang in there, have a wonderful and blessed birthday MONTH and above all, keep the faythe! :love:
Add me to the list of belated birthday well-wishers!:) I'm sorry you had such a bad experience on what should have been a special time for you.
At least you know you can come here and people will always be willing and happy to "celebrate" with you! PT is a great place.
I have to agree with Karen, try to find an online group relating to your condition. They can be a great resource and comfort to you.
Again, Happy Birthday and may the next year be much better than this one!

I hope every day gets better!
I'm sorry you had such a bad experience on your day, and add me to the list who checked the birthdays - I would have posted a thread if I had seen you! IN ANY CASE - HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!
You are, indeed, a very special member of PT, and I hope this begins a very good year for you.
As for your Lupus - I know very well what it is. I have posted elsewhere about my friend (and former catsitter) who is in advanced stages of Lupus. I could share your information with her; she and her husband plan on joining PT -you may have read the thread I posted on their dog Nikata.
In any case - I'm sorry we missed the day, but the wishes are heartfelt.:love:

You could most definitely share my information with her. It would be nice to speak to someone who understands what I am dealing with. I am going to try and find a group in my area. My boyfriend doesn't even "get it". The pain comes and goes. This morning my hands were so achey I couldn't type or use my phone to text. I was using my left hand to do things. He wanted me to get up and fix us some breakfast, and when I told him I couldn't do so because I wouldn't be much help in the kitchen he just stood there staring at me like I was making up an excuse. It really did hurt!
Anyway, thank you all so very much. I love it here. That's why I've been around for so long. People here make me feel so much better when life is being cruel. :)
I'm sorry your birthday was so lousy, no one deserves that. Especially the big "30", I am glad you're feeling a little better about it now! Happy Belated Birthday:love:
I know someone with Lupus, it really sucks, and I'm sorry you have to deal with it. :( (((hugs))) going out to you! I hope things start to pick up a little for you!
Cass please feel free to Pm me anytime, I have fibromyalgia as do quite a few of our PT members and did you know lupus and fibro have lot in common,the aches and pains,fatigue etc, but Lupus is an auto-immune disorder and causes inflammation and interferes with organ function whereas fibro does not, however sometimes they are even mis-diagnosed, because they are very similar, and often lupus sufferers do have fibro as well, so i think i can well understand some of what you are going through, i was 35 when i was diagnosed and i can well empathise and offer you any support you may need so please don't hesitate, i am here for you.
Aw I am so sorry dear Cass.....! You sure don't deserve to be treated so badly by your friends....:( . I've always liked you a lot, so from now on December 3rd will be on our birthday calendar forever!!
So, even if it is a belated, it comes from the bottom of my heart:
and this one is for you too!!!
Your original post actually brought tears to my eyes. That is just so sad and not okay. I used to check the birthday list each day but have not been doing that lately. Shame on me. You share your birthday with my brother. I will never forget your birthday now. :)
I hope the rest of your month goes better. Oh, and my sister has lived in Oregon for about 10 years (or more) now. Her only problem is keeping a job! :rolleyes:
Happy Birthday and have a wonderful rest of the year!! :D
