The purpose of me telling my story was about hope. It's a scary, confusing diagnosis. So much of what I read is sad and negative and that is what many are living with, but there are hopeful stories too. I think I have a mild case too or I wouldn't be able to do the type of PT I am (water and land) and be on only Lyrica. I hope it doesn't get worse, but I'll go crazy if I go there. Focusing on the positive is a day by day thing, probably for most of us. I've spent many days depressed and angry. I joined this group hoping to talk with others that understand, to get support and hopefully be of some help to others. Please don't feel bad about complaining, we need to some days. Hopefully one day you'll be there if I need to. ~mac
