Oh Julie ((((hugs))))

Parents are just so relentless sometimes when it comes to their children. They get more caught up in the competition more than the kids do. It is frightening sometimes. My son plays hockey....that should tell you enough. Talk about crazy parents!

On your secret...I am proud of you for stopping! Good for you to realize that it was hurting you. Stay strong and stick with it.

Try to relax and hopefully you will get some relief in your eyesight. Take care of yourself first. Don't worry about the things you cannot control. One of those things being MS!!! You did NOT cause it!!! You did NOT cause the stress either. Just try to learn to eliminate the stress where you can. Do not bring on more stress by thinking you caused your disease!

Vent here as much as you need to. We are all here for you to support you!
