I was diagnosed in Feb of this year so I'm still dealing with the post traumatic stress on that! I have three boys (9,7, and 4) and I feel like I lost the ability to be a great mother to them. My ex took them to the beach yesterday and it was too hot there was no way I could go with them.

I will try and continue going back to school in the fall but I had my first bout of muscle spasms in class and freaked everyone out since everyone thought I was having a stroke.

I have for this moment decided not to date. I don't have a handle on this and don't think I want to explain to someone why I'm too tired to do anything, all the meds I'm on, and most people are worried you're going to be crippled and they would have to take care of you.

I am going to try and work so I don't know financially if this is going to be a problem but for the moment it's ok and I'm squirreling away money every chance I get, especially for my sons.

Cheryl,
For the short amount of time I've posted on here I read your posts and see how you plow through your challenges and it makes me want to get through mine. So, I very much appreciate what you do and who you are as a person.
