What's the biggest problem/challenge in life that you encountered?

The biggest challenge and problem i have ever encountered in my life is my struggle with ME (post viral chronic fatigue syndrom, and all the problems that comes from this illness. I am trying to deal with it one day at the time. i try to follow all advice from my doctor. i try to pace myself so i do not get to exhausted. Right now pacing means I have to stay at home, doing next to nothing. Anything more will make me worse and worse.

Right now!! We are trying to plan to buy a house and have kids, and try to plan the finances involved and how to handle it all. Its challenging, and frustrating, and the economy right now isnt making it easier. BUT we'll find something and well make it work.

Knowing my daughter was very sick and the doctor's giving us the run around for 6 months before they finally gave us a diagnosis. We would take her to doctor to doctor and we even took her to one of the best children's hospitals around. We still did not get help, it took my mother which is a nurse. Finally asking our family doctor to run a specific test on her, our doctor was very willing and told us that she would run any test that we requested. When the results came to her office, her nurse called me with the news. My worst nighmare had begun, it came back positive to what we had feared. It did bring some relief to me as well knowing that she would get the care she needed and treatment. She still struggles an every day battle with her illness, and yet she seems to be a happy child. I love her just the same as my other children. I have had others ask me how I delt with knowing and watching her suffer daily. I tell them this, I love my daughter so much that she is not fighting this along. I will be right by her side each step of the way as long as I am here. My daughter has Cystic Fibrosis and is 7 years of age.

having to grow up in 2.5 seconds when I got pregnant and had to move out. It was really hard for me, and I still struggle with it everyday, but I did it. In life there are always challenges and problems, but theres always a way to get through them.

Wow...tough questions, I have alot of challenges all throughout my life. Think I'm born for challenges. Biggest challenge, I guess, would be breaking off with my fiance and him asking me to return the engagement ring so that he can bring back to the shop to exchange for cash or something else. How I handle it? Well, I didn't really take it too well initially...it was friends and church family who kept me going. They didn't give up on me...so I shouldn't give up on myself too. That was back in 2003. Since then, I've been really careful not to give 100% of my heart to anyone. You win some, you lose some.

I have health problems.. no sympathy please... I've been to the OT ten times now and each time facing the days ahead in the hospital are my biggest problem.. There are two things i could do, I could be miserable and mope..making all those around me equally miserable or i could take one day at a time and keep a smile on my face. I chose the latter. I would flirt with the doctors who visited my room, nurses who tended to me were so stressed out.. i would try to cheer them up or atleast smile and say thank you when they were done taking my temperature or putting put a new bottle of saline. In these trying moments of my life i truly believe that the thing that most helped me cope with my pain was to ease some one else's.. I hope you never encounter any problem in your life but God Forbid, if you do try out my way of living and you'll find out for yourself that it works.

My son had leukemia. He was 3 years old, when it started coming to the fore. We were constantly seeing the doctor then. He said that my son's illness was systemic and that he probably had it already even before birth. He had tests, then he had been on medication from then on. I was wondering why his illness kept on progressing despite everything. But he lived on. He reached the age of 10. All of a sudden, I felt that I must do something to help my son ease his pain out. We went to see another doctor. This one told me that I acted too late. When she knew that we had been under a doctor's care all these years, she said that the doctor did well after we had a thorough conversation. My son's case is now in the hands of God, she said. He is definitely got only a few more days to live. I delved deep into my thoughts and asked, what will I do? The doctor told me to make it easy for my son. Do everything you can to make him happy and stop all his medications. He is dying, those medications are of no use anymore. Give him fruits instead and ordinary over the counter vitamins he has liking to, she advised. I did as advised. Instead of crying and wallowing in pain, I thought that the doctor is right I'll have to make my son's last days happy, I can cry my heart out some other time. I asked God for the strength I need and it was granted. I brought my son to places where he would like to be. Take time out from life's cares everyday of the week. God's miracle worked again. After a week, we went to see the doctor. She was amazed at the improvement of my son's condition. She said it was unbelievable. I'd better continue with whatever it was that I was doing. Yes, I did. And my son survives till now. He is already 19 years. I couldn't be any happier for him.

Raising kids was a big challenge! But we all lived through it! Taking care of my husband (terminally ill) is my big challenge right now. I just do it one day at a time.

just right now i lost an envelope containing important documents and i forgot where i placed it. aside from papers it contained some cash.. damn!

knowing something that would definitely frustrate me, i thought everything was ideal.
