Just one of those days that I am tired, hurt, and just plain disgusted. I am 62 and fill 80., just venting I guess, 4 years ago before I had this disease my stamina was unbelieveable and did anything that I basically wanted to do and had to do., now no job, barely make it thru the day with out a nap., can't do my outside stuff, and I am sure depressed on top of it. I know a lot of people have it alot worse, just feeling sorry for myself today.
Thanks for listening.

Hello Whirlwind, Sigh, those good old "MG" days--who can't relate to those! You made a very common statement: "I know a lot of people have it a lot worse..." It is empathy for others. It's also a feeling of guilt, and I am going to ask you to toss guilt to the wind, and I mean literally. Touch your shoulders and throw it out there. Your feelings are no less than anyone else's!

You are feeling sorry for yourself?--good, because you deserve it! When our lives have been turned upside down, we need to acknowledge and feel the sadness, and to cry, or to get angry--whatever works. (Just go easy on the dog! ) After all these years, I still have the occasional cry--works for me!

What we all need to watch is that it doesn't go on for over, say, a couple of weeks. If it does, then we need to find someone to help us.

Venting--YOU BET! Fire away....We're here...

whirlwind, I am feeling just like you and I am only 53. Arguing with my teenage daughter has exaccerbated my MG. The one side of my face is so bad, it looks like I had a stroke. I slept 21 hours from Saturday into Sunday, 16 hr the day before and 12 hours the 2 days before that. The easing off pregnisone has set off my MG once I got down 30 mg a day. I have 1 week to wait for IVIG

I also feel sorry for myself today. I still work; I just have trouble getting everything done and I feel like crap. I don't feel like doing the things that I want to do.

I know what you mean., I hated that I hate to give up work , it has been a financial problem on top of feeling lousy. Somedays just get to all of us.
And other days we can handle it.
