Doesn't the universe owe me some kind of break? Do I have bad karma or something? Incidentally, I always find the cliche "God never gives you more than you can handle" so so so unhelpful. It makes me mad I guess. But I am sure I will keep soldiering on.Thanks for listening to me vent, yet again.
Thank you for sharing this. I understand your feelings. After surviving a pretty crappy childhood also it was a challenge for me not to be too bitter when MS suddenly showed up in my late 30s.

By the time I was diagnosed I had a great marriage, stable finances and was ready to breathe a sigh of relief. For the first time in my life I didn't regret being born. Sometimes I'm pretty discouraged by the hand I have been dealt and while its not too much of a consolation I know there are people who have it worse. I continue to move forward while I can. Hang in there. Jules
