I haven't read the other posts. But I can tell you this. God put you on earth -- he expects you to take care of yourself. He GAVE you your talents .......so help yourself and your husband and sell your products. God probably appreciates the work you've done and understands what you're using the money for. If you were using the money for drugs or alcohol that would be a different story.

If you don't take your medicine how will you be able to make more beautiful 'stuff'. Legs that swollen means that you have to much water floating in your body which results in your heart having to work harder which can result in pneumonia, heart attach or stroke.... Which is more expensive?

I understand that it is hard to let go of things you put so much time and love into BUT with that said...stay healthy first. Possessions can be replaced, people can't. If he loves you enough to want you to be healthy then see that as a possitive things. My thoughts go out to you and hope you feel better soon.

1) It is my mission in life to save all the hand stitched strawberries. I buy them everywhere I find them. Have I found any here?
2) Meds are important. Please take yours.
3) I have to write mine down in order to remember; so I do.

on the othr hand..if the items are just sitting in a closet..no one is enjoying the beauty of it..including you!
good luck with your venture! it would be wonderful if you could sell enough to pay for your meds!
you need to talk to your doc about getting samples of your meds, or the company that makes them, to try to get a deal.
montel williams has a medicine program to help, forgot what the name of it is.
you should not be without your meds if you can help it..!

Being a nurse, I think your medications are more important than helping with the finances- you usually end up paying medical bills plus new medications, plus the wear and tear on your body from yo-yoing on and off medication. The swelling in your legs may indicate your heart is working too hard on it's own to pump your blood and fluid is backing up. I can't stress enough get back on your medication......

If you are on social security or disability contact them to see if they have a program for you to help with medical costs and prescriptions.

I agree with everyone else, you need to take your medicine. You shouldn't take chances with your health.
Try Etsy for selling, you can search to see what is selling there and get an idea of pricing. It's not an auction site like Ebay and the people there are wonderful. You can at least make enough money to pay for your supplies.
