Default giving up and taking a break!!!



Downer mood here sorry for that anyhow..

I am just tired..overwhelmed..tired of body not working but no tests or hardly any tests show that I am suffering as I am....

undx here, many who know me know that...

found a new neuro...have evoked potential testing done finally (9 years of sxs and first to order those hmm)

anyhow one eye came back abnormal...so he said we better do another MRI..
I have had one in 2005 and 2007...he thought something may show at this point for more answers...

well yes you guessed it...normal MRI...well we go over details in April at a follow up...

ok I know, I am not a MS wanna be..trust me...from all my studys I know I would rather not have MS....I have something..I have many MS sxs... I am struggling to keep going in life...

Is it sad that I am sad about a normal MRI?! sorry for those with this terrible disease...I as I said, do not want something...but I have something already..just no name...no real answers...

sorry venting...

anyhow..I am so overdone..worn out, tired of balance issues, tired of the cogfog, and memory lapses...tired of being so fatigued that once home from work I have to ignore my kids to get me better to get back to work....

uggggg

anyhow, just venting..I am taking a break, I know have done this before, and not lasted long..hehe just so I can take some time...not to read anything about neuro issues...(although I have one )

instead of being on puter I will take the time to read more with the kids, since I can not do anything much for physical play with them...

I am just so frustrated, yes prednisone kicks me into a good way..but I do not want to do that often...

anyhow, on my neurontin and on my baclofen, and I will see neuro again end of April for that follow up...just bummed I guess...tired of being sick, tired of not having time for my kids...quality time..as I am usually grumpy at them once home and exhausted from work....

most who know me know I am happy go lucky usually...and it is getting harder and harder to be me anymore...

anyhow..wanted to say, if not on much, do not worry, just need some time off addicting computer time...hugss to all, and thanks for all you have done for me, limboland Sarah

Oh Sarah, I am so sorry that you are having to deal with all of this right now! I really wish that I could do something to help you and take your symptoms away but I know I can't unfortunately - just know that I care about you and am here for you whenever you need a shoulder to lean on!!

I really hope that your doctors can get to the bottom of your problems real soon. I for one, certainly understand your frustration and understand how awful it is to be undiagnosed. No, I don't think you are mad for wanting the MRI to show something - I remember feeling the same when I was undiagnosed, I absolutely didn't want anything to be wrong with me but I thought if the results came back abnormal, at least someone would care and believe me and would try and make me better!

Take care of yourself and know that we all care about you and will be here for you whenever you need anything!

I'm sorry you're feeling like this Sarah, but I can understand your desire to just try and get on with your life. We will miss you around here, but we know you'll be back when you're ready. Please know that we'll think of you, and pray that you have better times ahead. Hugs......

Sarah, take the time you need - we'll be here when you decide to come back. I can understand your frustration, being undx'd yet having sx's, and your not wating to read any neuro stuff for a while. Take the time to enjoy reading to your children. Best of luck with your appointment in April. Hang in there.

May I go with you....to a place where there are no neurological symptoms, but only sunshine and lollipops?

I was always a firm believer in, if you ignore something, it will go away. So, ignore and deny this stuff for awhile and maybe it'll go away..

Hugs your kids every day and spend some quality time with them. That's the important stuff, anyway..

We'll be right here whenever you need us..

So sorry that you're still feeling poorly, Sarah...don't rule out fibromyalgia...causes a great deal of pain and other issues that can mimic MS...
rest, play with the kids, and try not to overdo it at work...we'll be here when you need us...
