Aw nuts, Bethie, I hate hearing this! You know I'm right there with you and it's just plain hard to get a grip on all the different ways this carp impacts us. Let's not lose all hope, something has to give one of these days.

Just remind yourself that you're the same person today as you were yesterday. Regardless of what you learned during that doctor's visit, it doesn't change anything about you.

Greta I know you are right when you say it doesn't change who I am it just such a pain in the rump when you try to stay positive and live as normally as whatever normal is and then Smack right upside the haid with reality.

I only think like this right after a neuro appt. It's weird. Its like Man....I have a disease......This sucks.......It's never going to go away....Am I always going to walk like I have a pole up my rump.....I feel cheated......I feel like carp....It's not fair! Why do I have to go through this! yada yada yada.

I will be back to my ole "I don't give a carp" self tomorrow!

Please stand by........I am just like Michigan Weather. If you don't like it, wait 5 minutes it will be different

I'm so sorry Beth - this disease does bite the big one.....seems like one day I'm doing good and then wham the fatigue and dizziness hits. Visits to the Neuro affect me like this, too. I guess hearing it confirmed from a "professional" just sorta makes it more real. I hate trying to explain symptoms to someone who's never experienced them. I almost feel like to have to apologize - but for what I don't know. I just want to say "look, this is what I'm feeling whether you can relate to it or not is not my problem. Just give me something to allieviate the symptoms."

I hope you feel better...wish I could offer you some words of wisdom but I don't have any!

AMN I know you can relate doggone it and herekitty you are so right about biting the big one (I love that term LOL)

Its so good to be able to come on here and crab away at things. Its almost cleansing.

You guys are great and I really appreciate your support

sometimes beth life do sucketh mucheth, it does hang in there you are not alone, you have friends on here who care for you and by the way pretty awesome signature picture ya got there

try not to let it get the best of you, we would rather share the best of you

I'm sorry to hear you're down in the dumps, and I understand why feel that way. I wish I could say something wonderful but as I don't know the right words, I'll have to be content with sending you lots of hugs.

Beth, I am sorry you feel so down. I remember sitting in the neuro's office and waiting for the "big catch phrase of the day" with Jim. It was never the same and included a change of meds each time.

Then one day it stopped. It was never worse, nor better. It was what it was. We still haven't decided if that is a good thing or not.

I only have cream cheese. Will that do?

I think thats why I hate going to the doctor. I usually feel worse (emotionally) when I leave. I hope you get all cheered up soon

Going to the Neuro IS a reality check!

I only go twice a year now but I never hear the words "you are doing much better" or anything positive.

Just the same old..... well; see you in 6 months.
