I totally understand! It's funny you posted this today Sally, I was just ranting about the same thing earlier. Woke up feeling good and actually wanted to clean house. After cleaning the tub and shower I ended up sitting on the floor for about 5 minutes before I could get out of the bathroom. Now I feel worse than ever and still don't have the bathroom clean much less the rest of the house. Sucks to not even be able to clean one room!

I was always active and not afraid to go anywhere or do anything by myself. I'm 42 and like you my mind says go! go! go! but instead I find myself crying more than usual because I can't get out and do things like I used to. My life now consists of watching the world go by and wishing.

You are not a raving old lunitic Sally

The heat is on and there is no rain in sight.

I am jealous of all the people who are out and about. Don't they realize how lucky they are to be able to get into their cars and just leave?

I am especially jealous of people older than me that have on their tennis shoes passing me when I do venture out.

There is such a dark spot in my heart. It is one I have to live with every waking moment. No amount of depression medicine will remove it.

Yes, the heat is on here and will stay until September. At least come July and August, there will be a chance of rain.

Hahahahahahahahaha!! You guys made me laugh so hard,I forgot how miserable I am..

That's what I love about this place. You're never alone in your Crazyness..LOL!!

I loves youse guys.

'scuse me !!! johnny Depp will be making his appearance at my house first if you don't mind. and if there's wine around, I'm in line.

I'm sat here with cold feet, winter has arrived, everything is wet and cold and I'm counting the days to summer. Anyone have any heat to send my way?

My OH can't get his head around the fact that my leg pain does not get better when it is pushed toward my head in the throes of ..ahem.. sorry.. too much information there.

I hate this hateful horrid hateful miserable b@s(@^d of a disease.

I have an interview for a job search programme for ms sufferers tomorrow. I can see where that'll get me ...

Winge, whine, wine, misery and hatred. More wine and chocolate.

Be thankful you can get off the floor by yourself. I would need a crane or some burly firemen to get me off the floor.

gmi

Cute burly firemen that look like Johnny Depp. Give him a BIG glass of wine!!

LOL.."Big and burly" and "Johnny Depp" don't go together in a sentence..But I'd be willing to try it out anyway!
Sal, the weather here is what used to be my dream weather ~ dry with temps in the 70's..Unfortunately, over the last few years, I've discovered my new perfect temp is upper 50's to low 60's (if the sun is shining..& I still need to stay in the shade)..Yup. MS sucks alright.

Forget fireman. I am humble enough to settle for cute and burly.

You guys are GREAT!!! You've cheered me up and you didn't even know it!! Of course I fell asleep half-way through the thread, then had to wait until my eyes "de-blurred" to finish. Right there with ya Sally. A couple years ago when I ended up on the floor, it was even an adventure having the two guys mowing the lawn come in a hoist me up!!!!

Living on a hill overlooking part of the town, I sit in my 'chair' looking out the window wondering where the people in all the cars are going. Oh, to have our pre-MS lives back again. Now it's sitting on the toilet, bursting into tears because my stupid legs won't go in the pant-leg. It's really true, we don't know what we have until it's gone. I want it back -- with or without Johnny Depp!!!

Has anyone else had those feelings that it gets harder and harder to be thankful for the small things and if anyone else says "It could be worse" again.......ewwwwww........I'm gonna smack em!!?? Enough of this carpy disease already!!!!!

AMN, It's been years of the MS stuff on boards, I can admit (now) I stand in awe of your intelligence (it shines through) and straight forwardness, admired you peep cooking skills, your traveling skills, your technical skills. When you move to Carolina, Who Moi is in SC, Bets in DC, me in Maryland, we do small GTGS, we'll make you come. Maybe Moose will come from VA.!! Lunch!! Dinner ands Drinks!!! Where are you B2U??
