Blaugh and Bah !!
 

Boo and Hoo!!! My semi-annual/monthly/weekly whine/poorMe thread.:rain: You re invited to join me in my "I hate MS, especially in the summer" thread or simply ignore me.:D

I am feeling a bit down and abused, this summer. I know, I'm old and I'm supposed to be content with sitting around doin nuttin. For the most part, I am, but every once in awhile I get angry with my life with MS and just want to yell out to the world.."I'm not gonna take it anymore":hissyfit:

Don't ya want to jump up at a whim and go do something whimsical, like you could in the old days? I do, but my get up and go has got up and went.:D But, how do you shut those impulses out of your mind. In there, I am still 20, single, sexy and ready to go.:yahoo: I wanna have Johnny Depp's baby..LOL!

Am I a raving old lunitic or what? Anyway, thanks for hearing my rant. I don't want your sympathy, just tell me you feel the same, once in awhile, so I don't suffer alone in my crazyness.:Crazy 2:

I really do Hate MS!!

:grouphug:

Considering that I've been trying to get a shower and get dressed for the last five hours... and that I'm now thinking nap time...

I don't have the first clue what you're caterwauling about, Sal. ;)

I hate MS with a real passion, but today I'm hating my seasonal allergies with a lot more passion.

My head hurts, I feel like crud because my allergies are setting up shop in my head, and my mom is mad because I wouldnt take her out for breakfast this morning. (my brain was trying to escape thru my nose)

and the allergies seems to set off the MS crap sometimes. (blurry vision this morning in the eye I had bad ON in a few years ago, and my left hand is a bit more numb today) The MS hadnt been too horrible the past week or two.

I'm going to go take an allergy pill, another migraine pill and crawl back into bed. Hopefully my mom wont be screaming at me because she's hungry.

Sally,
I get it. It was hard to get dressed today.. Shower? Maybe DH will wheel me in tomorrow or Thursday. I'm 53, in a chair, my clothes and stuff when DH dressed me last night, well,now I know why I never let him dress the kids!!!!!) Both my 17 year old kids (I was an ole Motha) need underwear and I can't drive so can't go get it I am 53 but I'm not dead, I know it could be worse but it's bad enough, I used to wear my favorite jeans at 45 (um, size 0!!) but not anymore. Between age, MS and inactivity in a chair - forget about it. I need a nap. the high point of my day has been tooling around the pool in the backyard pool (not that I can go in it alone anymore, despite having 18 suits) Yeah I know I got that, but I really liked independence and freedom and walking and driving, I'm done complaining, I know it could be worse, but Sally, MS does suck. OK, I'm done whining.

YES!! I totally understand what you mean. There are times that it makes me soooooo angry that I can't just do what I want when I want. I hate having to play every last hypothetical situation out in my mind beforehand so I'm not caught off guard.

But.......dear girl......nothing - and I do mean nothing - could ever make me want to have anyone's baby......unless it came with it's own 24/7 nanny!!!

OK I just got dressed and scootered down to our little pond to watch the bullfrogs, turtles and birds, then stopped by my 86 yr. old friend's apt. to gossip about our apt. complex. - this is the highlight of my year - it could be winter..its gorgeous out and no place to go. I hate MS too.

My MS has turned into a 5 year old child with temper tantrums. its just sad! I am right there with ya about the heat, I hate it!

whine, whine, whine. wheres my cheese? :p

Did someone say whine??

It's gotten so I can tell the squirrels
apart!!!!!!

Johnny Depp AND The Pill?

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 :hug:

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..:D

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

I loves youse guys.:grouphug:

'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. :o

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 ... :mad:

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!!

I am thankful.

Good for you!

gmi

LOL.."Big and burly" and "Johnny Depp" don't go together in a sentence..But I'd be willing to try it out anyway!:D
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.

Don't give her any ideas!!! :cool:

Yeah, I'd like to do little whimsical things like go outside without my cane, and just walk across the yard as though it were a normal thing to do.

The other day it hit me like a piano falling out of a building that I can't carry babies any more. I don't mean HAVE a baby...I mean I would dare try to lug a baby around. Holding a baby in one arm wouldn't be safe, and holding her with two arms would leave no arm left for a cane. I would have to sit down and let someone hand me the baby. WAAAAAAHHHHHH!

If this were a petition I'd sign right up!!!!!!!!

You are not alone not by a long shot!!!
:grouphug:

Kickie, we need to do lunch. :cool:

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??

We had a guy that came to pick up disabled riding mower,he was to to die for!! Would give Johnny a run for his money. Guy was a pool boy in Hawaii!! (swoon). We were friends, DH kiddingly accused me of breaking mower on purpose, but he's moved on now. Sigh. Oh, those were the days.

Holy, cow, Kickie! Snapottavit! http://www.pic4ever.com/images/snapoutofit.gif
Now there is no way I'm gonna do lunch with you! How can I ever live up to all that hooey? :eek:

At first I thought you were telling me to snap out of my Steve memories. And he rode a bike seriously, great legs (he always was in shorts during the summer) but not too big. Just right. And his eyes............... The new John Deere mower guy, not cute at all. Hmmm, mower seems to run better, longer now. Just doesn't need servicing as much.

Idiots!!!!!!!!:D
