Cathy, so sorry you had to discontinue the patch, but I'm glad you don't have fibro sxs anymore. They can be a b*t#h...

DH and I took his mom & dad up to their cabin in northwest Wis. for a long weekend...they love it up there...didn't want to come home. It was stressful to watch my MIL struggle with her mind slippage...threw out 2 coffeepots that she'd burned or got mad at because she couldn't get it to work right. Had to turn the burner off after she took bacon out of the pan and left the burner on under the pan filled with bacon grease. I'd written a letter to her neuro describing the changes we've seen since he saw her in Feb. (can't talk to him in front of her; she gets mad for me "tattling"). His office called and told us to move her appointment up...she was wondering why; we just told her he wants to keep a closer eye on her.

More and more sxs are returning now that the oral steroids I'd taken in Dec. are gone from my body...the neuropathy is taking my breath away again. And the heat is doing numbers with my balance and internal thermostat...I sweat profusely as soon as I do anything at all.

My DD called me on Monday...she was working with a sub in her summer school class, and the woman had MS. My DD told her the sxs that I have, and she said I'd better go back to the neuro, because I have the same sxs that she had. It took 20 years for her to get a dx...one doctor told her she was imagining the sxs. Love doctors sooo much, don't you?

Well, I'd go in the pool, but I've gained weight and feel like an elephant...I'll take you up on it when I lose some, okay?

Have a great week, everyone!
