Yes, and I recommend it to everyone. A good pity party with a "why me" and a good cry, followed by a prayer... Then you are set for another round of this damnedable disease.

Let's all say together..."I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore"!!

OK....alllllll better??????

edit: except for the headache I always get from crying..

Maybe I'll do that later. It sounds like too much work right now.

Sally, the good thing then is you laugh again and make me laugh. Sometimes it does suck and it's time for crying.

I usually have to have something else set me off.....like a sad television show (Extreme Home Makeover is usually good for this) or one of those animal abuse commercials (the one with the Sarah McLaughlin song). But once I get going I start to think about everything else that could possibly make me cry and I'm good to go for about 30 minutes. I try hard not to do it at night, though, because I'll wake up with swollen eyes and a vicious headache. I usually try to cry when I'm alone - that way I don't have to reassure everyone that I'm really okay. I don't like explaining myself. But a good cry can be very refreshing.

its a real challenge to get me to cry. if it happens I am either very mad (run!) or very sad (hold me) or very tired (naptime)

I have never been one to sniffle at movies, or TV shows. I have so many g/fs that look at me in amazement and say "dont you think that is sad?" I do, but the tears dont come. maybe its the sjoghrens. dry eye syndrome of something.

I could use a good cry. its been a long time.

Hugs for sal pal

Come on over and we'll peel some onions!


A good cry is good therapy just to get it all out of your system and start fresh again.

Afterward you can laugh again which is even better therapy!

Oh, I'm there with you on this one. maybe it's a good cry I need. I feel the fear building inside me and no amount of 'personal growth' books can release me from it.
Perhaps a dvd, say, Message in a Bottle can help. That's therapy don't you know !!!

I prefer taking it over pushing up daisies at this point. You might just be lonely from having to stay inside most of the time due to all of the heat.

Pray for fall and good temps!

what a difference a day makes...

I'm so ready to shout and scream and cry. I have such pain all over, with major twitching and no strength.

It was our first warm day for 4 months today. Do you think that could have been enough to do it? I've not had a warm/hot day since dx. and i did spend half an hour in the pool...
This is a terrible disease.

my PCP (a woman and I really like her) called me on finding out from Neuro she sent me to Ih ad MS. She was so concerned and nice and I started crying and apologized to her for crying and she said "You have every right to cry" Course, that made me cry harder.
