If you could have a Dream or Wish  come true....

RIGHT NOW!!! ;)

[1]What would it Be...........??                 

[2] and  WHY......................??

My dream would be not to suffer from SAD every year....hav'nt really done anything for about 2 months or so ....it makes me depressed, lethargic and prone to put weight on.
Why....so as not to feel any of the above.

To have Bird Flu vanish from the planet - it scares the bejesus out of me!

1.  To have mum's heart surgery over and done with
2.  Pretty obvious!  :)

For someone to find a cure or at least a much better way of managing diabetes....why? so my 4 year old daughter doesn't have to go through numerous finger prick tests and two injections of insulin each and every single day.

May all our dreams and wishes come true some day :D

Mmm these are serious replies. I hope someone important is reading! Hope all your dreams come true Borders.

Well I have a serious attitude towards dreams, as my signature testifies ...

As to a wish, I think everyone should have some sunshine in their lives, every single one of us ...

It's hard to choose as I have worries with my Aunt, my Mum, my eldest brother and lastly concerns about bird flu, so instead of wishing towards any of those I wish all of YOU inner peace.

I'm such a div, I actually scrolled up to look for a member called "Borders" to see what they had wished for!  ::)

Oh YP that's lightened the serious mood of this thread!!! I'm crying laughing now - sorry!!!  ;)

lots of laughter is a good thing to wish for so I'll have some of that aswell ! (pleeeeeease)  ;D

wish~that mr gw manages to keep off the ciggies
why~so i don't get my head bitten off

on a serious note I would wish for Tolerance

on a frivolous note I would wish for an Antarctic Cruise

:)

I would have to wish for a cure for ME - not so much because it's a horrible thing to have, but more because it's got such a bad press over the years & a lot of GPs don't know much about it & either have the wrong information (presumably because they've been reading the tabloids instead of the latest medical research  >:( ... not that I'm bitter or anything) or want to help but don't have a clue how - it would be great if they could just say "this is what you've got & this is what caused it & if you take one of these it will go away".

My immediate wish would be that no more cancer is found when my daughters dog goes for her next tests.
Why? Cos the family especially my son-in-law will be devastated

I have loads of wishes.  Some frivilous and some more serious.  If I mentioned the frivilous I would be worried that I would come across as a spolit brat.  Seriously I wish that a lot of people I know would stop whinging about insignificant troubles when there are people in the same office who have tragedies unravelling in ther lives.  (not me, thank God, so I am not after the sympathy vote).  World peace, cure for cancer, etc etc etc .........

The Philosopher's Stone. I had ME, it's a horrible thing, but at least you do get over it, eventually.

No more Alzheimer's please

Well said Baggy, I would give you my wish willingly ...

Every -one as some very serious points mentioned here :o

What ever your Dream or Wish.....I for one hope that it comes true ;)

Laughter is a Tonic....it cost us nothing at least let us all
part-take of that. ;D ;D ;D

I wish you all what you Dream and Wish yourselves 8)

I know Sam my thoughts are with you and the Family
for January the 20th.....Everything will be Fine....
Rosebud.....Good Luck my Lovexx ;)

Yes, I'd quite like this one too. Sorry to hear it's your daughter Jesse - it's hard enough to take it all in as an adult, especially when the advice changes every few years:( So that's my selfish wish - that one day soon the boffins will find a better way to control/cure diabetes.

Cheers,
Rob ;)

ps. world peace, an end to poverty and bird flu disappearing would be good too!

Tulip-23.... Have already given my best wishes to Rosebud and her family but would just like to say again.... VERY BEST WISHES AND  I WILL BE THINKING OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.   Love Lorna xxxxx

My 16 yr old daughter is type 1 diabetic too, so I genuinely feel for sufferers with this condition, particularly young children who are unable to understand. I am trying to be proactive in this respect, by raising sponsorship money for Diabetes UK via running a marathon in May ... my contribution to making that wish a reality ...

I'm with Merry Tiller - watching my 60 year old mother suffering from this horrendous illness is heartbreaking.
On a lighter note I hope my son stays happy and healthy - and that when the time comes he gets a sibling or two :)

I hope that number two baby arrives safe and well in June, and that Cameron copes ok after realising that he is not in fact the centre of the universe (or at least that he will have to share that position with someone else for a while!)

My son was going to be five when my daughter was due.I worried lots about how he would cope seeing as he'd had me to himself all that time. When my girly was born she gave him a blue wooden parrot. He wondered how she had managed to get him something. I explained I'd ask her what she wanted to get for her brother when she was still in my tummy and we were in a shop.She kicked like mad when I picked up the parrot.  He keeps it by his bed and she has a photo of him by hers.

You'll be fine Caz and Baz,just give Cameron time to get used to the idea and a pressie from baby helps!

Oh Heldi that story is so lovely. That's really warmed my heart today.

I thought so too ...  :)

I think like most people my wish is for Good Health for everyone.  Whatever your other dreams are you can't do anything without that.  It is truly a blessing and you really appreciate what it means when you haven't got it. 

I too suffer in the winter Agapathus, so I wish you well.  I had Chronic Fatigue in 2001 and it took about 2 years to gradually recover.  It was frustrating at the time as, as you say  Juliet , Doctors just don't know how to treat it or what it is.

I also wish my husband would give up smoking, -  he attempts it every year after his birthday, without sticking to it.  His birthday is 21 Jan so another attempt coming up. Sunshine would be nice too. busy_lizzie

Happiness.  I believe life means nothing without happiness.

Goodness, Robert & Busy Lizzie, you have both been lucky.  Most people I know with ME have had it for 10/15/20 years plus - I have had it for about 14 and many of my symptoms are gradually getting worse.  I know most people do improve, eventually, but some don't, & I only know one or two who have actually recovered (& I know an awful lot of people with ME - am actively involved in local & national groups supporting sufferers).

Nearly all of us have wished for that one way or another, haven't we?  Our health effects our quality of life so much - and we don't realise how important it is until we haven't got it.

It took me three years, but I made a more or less complete recovery. I still have a tendency to keel over after eating, especially when I'm under the weather. That was actually the thing which hit me first when I was coming down with it. I've never been able to do as much physical work since either. But I haven't had anything identifiable as ME for about five years. There is hope.

Juliet, Have pm'd you, and I wish you all the very best, and hope your health improves very soon.  busy_lizzie   

Juliet ;)

Im sure you know all our thoughts and best wishes are with you Juliet..........................


and for everyone one here with serious Medical Situations

One of my great nieces in Kent has suffered from ME for several years, she has a young child and lives in a 3rd floor flat which she has difficulty managing.One day she may get a Council property..One of the reasons I (after surviving cancer quite a few years ago) thank my lucky stars for reasonable health, I treat every morning that I wake up as a bonus. My wish for all of you who don't have the privilege of good health is that you may see the end of the tunnel.

I re-read my original response, counted to ten - then deleted it.  I wish I wasn't so sad.

I have to admit, I am fascinated by these ME, SAD, Chronic fatigue, Winter Blues that people suffer from.

Where did they come from?  What do they mean?  Why was it never heard of years back?  So many questions but I don't want to go off topic!  :-\

I am wishing that my daughter has a lovely wedding.  We had a meeting this afternoon to discuss it.  Think the date will be in May next year.  She is our only daughter, so my dream is she can have a day to remember.

By the way, YP, those things did exist years ago, but just weren't recognised by the medical profession.  I believe ME/ Chronic Fatigue were called, Neurosphenia or something like that , but don't quote me on the name.  busy_lizzie

Thanks for your good wishes/encouragement folks, & thanks busy lizzie for your pm - will reply when I have a bit more time/feel a bit more awake!

Lorna - sorry to hear about your great niece - must be dreadful having ME in a flat - I have enough trouble coping with noisy neighbours in a semi.  Do hope she is able to move soon and things improve for her.

YP - in terms of ME (which is also often called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, though the medical definition is not quite the same) the short answer is - it was heard of years back, but they hadn't given it a name then! - it was also for many years thought to be a mental illness & treated as if it were depression, which generally made sufferers worse (that is NOT intended to put down anyone who is suffering from depression, by the way - just saying the treatment was inappropriate - a bit like going to the doctor with a broken leg & being treated for chicken pox) - it's only really recently that it's been recognised as neurological.  And so as not to take this too far off-topic, if you want to know any more, feel free to pm me any other questions & I'll try to answer them!

(Oops - sorry busy lizzie - just finished writing this when you posted!)

I don't know much about SAD though - don't think I know anyone who has it but it sounds rotten  - my sympathies to those sufferers here.

B.L
;)

Hope your Daughter as a Great Day in May.

Like Sam I have,nt heard of these things ...I would say we are'nt going of Topic.. YP.. if someone...Expands the Information ???

Juliet....Thank you also.. I sure thats both enlightened myself and Sam and extremely couragous to talk openly about it...so that we full understand the Medical Situation concerning this syndrome...Thank you.

Mine would be i would know the right words to say to my mother when she phones up and says ( u know those 2 tests the nurse was cagey about)?then like any mother she goes all matter of fact and says well she say it leukemia and u have had it for at least a yr my reason why is someone give me the words cos i ain't got none

is there any?

meaning how the hell do u say somat?

Do you all realise how much we get from each other?

I wish for each and every one of you ... Friendship and Companionship ...  a trouble shared is a trouble halved  :)


FL

Me darlin Fleur, no words, just support n love! Your Mum sounds like mine, well I have it lets get on with it! I often think I am the one that "suffers" more than her, she is of the "stiff upper lip" type.
You will know what to say, when it needs saying.
X X X X DP

Hope this isn't  regarded as a bit "frivolous" but it's for all of us..

I wish that all the recent unpleasantness on the board had never happened, that it could all be forgotten and that there were NO missing faces  :(

Wicker - that sounds good ........

That a great idea, we'll do that.  ;D
