I know what you mean about having nobody that you can talk to in person. I have days that I go to work tired as can be and the bad thing is I am on Bupropien and Provigil C and I am still tired.Then people come in and say man they are tired after partying the night before. I hate this disease. I sometimes live in denial. I don't want to admit that I have a disease and I that I have to take a ton of medicine a day to function and it still somedays doesn't even help with the pain. I have days where I want to take my kids to the park but can't because the heat gets to me.Optic Neuritis is keeping me from driving and they said either it will get better or it won't.That was 8 mths ago and they have gotten worse. I just get so frustrated sometimes and denial comes and goes for me.But know you are not alone
