Happy Belated Birthday!!! You should add me on facebook!

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!

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.

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

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.

**Maya & Inka's mommy** · 12-08-2009, 03:04 AM

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!
