Thank you Sally,
If I read anything out of context, it may be because I didn't sleep last night...totally a low back pain thing
(I'll review later)
When I see someone talk about wannabe's...I get that there may be some who are hypochondrics in this world...but I know I'm not one of them. Having MS is a bad thing...but those who have a dx are lucky. They have their answers and they have doctors who are addressing there sx or trying to stop the progression with meds.
Those like me have nothing but confusion, questions and fear of being labeled as a 'wannabe'. Fear of saying ANYTHING that may be construed as imaginary. I come here for comfort, but in most cases I hang in the 'fun' threads....I don't want to complain about anything....unless I'm currently experiencing it. I feel lucky that right now I'm feeling pretty normal. Maybe that will be the case for the rest of my life, or maybe the sx will come back again. Wait and see is not easy or fun
I enjoy being a part of this community. I like the people here...I followed here with y'all!!
Thanks for the kind words....It does mean alot to me

I dont buy, for one second, that yours and other's symptoms are caused by stress.  I do believe that stress does bring on MS symptoms, though. I think that, one day, most of you will be DX with MS or a Similar disease.
I think if there are those here who do not accept LLs as part of our supportive, loving Family, should go back from where they came. I don't really think that is what was meant, though, greenjeans. It may have just looked that way to you. 
Anyway, if there is any doubt in your mind, you are as welcome here as the flowers in May. I always look forward to your supportive and fun posts. Keep em coming. |
