Hi Lizzie,

I remember when I couldn't even manage those pull off lids on tin cans!!!!! Now I to adore them, a can opener can wreck my whole cooking plan!!! or just slow it down.

I am ALSO amazed that this group so agreeably disagrees. I'm actually a little in shock about it. I sort of cringe a little right before I scroll down -- expecting to read some harsh words, but they never come. YIPPEE!! I LOVE this wholesome support of sometimes opposing ideas to similar problems!!

I also really appreciate how all of you look out for each other -- and check on each other -- just as a loving family should.

This is a good place to "be".

I agree, it's great when people agree to dissargee. :I-Agree:

we are all so different, come from different backgrounds, have had different experiences, that there is no way we will all think the same, just because we have a disease (which is also different for each of us), with the same name.

still, we can sometimes take something (even 10%) from what someone else says. and those small parts add up together to make our life better.

my dad used to tell me, when I was a kid, that when you eat a pomegranat you throw the peel and eat the inside. and this is the way you should approach life-"eat" the good parts, and throw away the peel.

and for each of us, it is totally different, but we can eventually find out what works best for us-what is the "inside" of the fruit and what is the peel, without being disrespectful to what works for others, which may be quite different. there is no "one size fits all" here. and I know that certain things that work for me, are a total disaster for someone else and vice versa.

hope this makes some sense.

Alice, you made perfect sense.
Love Lizzie

Love you, TOO, Lizzie!!!!:hug:

Alice, your analogy made PERFECT sense!! Are you SURE that you are a doctor (hehehehehehehe)????:D I especially agree with the part about taking maybe even 10% of what somebody else says/suggests -- and how that can make all the difference in the world in how we live -- SOOOOOOO TRUE!!!

You are also SOOOOO right in saying that what works for one might be a total disaster for somebody else. I have seen THIS first hand.

I think that I have some of this MG stuff figured out -- I "can" live with what I currently know about how to manage my particular case. But, I constantly and eagerly read what others have to say -- always thinking that another piece of the puzzle is out there -- that somewhere, somebody knows a way for me to get 5% more strength out of my day -- or 5 more words without slurring -- or 5 more minutes of walking without dragging a leg -- little things that would make all the difference in the world to ANY MGer.
