I've been going to my doctor's more frequently because of alot of new problems I have been having. Constant tremors 24/7, etc. Than went to 2 more doctors and today I found out officially that I have Multiple Sclerosis (MS) on top of everything else. In other words even though I have this now I still have to contend with the peripheral neuropathy and CRPS which now covers almost 80% of my body. I get home tonight and I let loose. I cried and cried. Partially out of anger and partially because I don't feel I deserve this and I'm only 43.

The pain so unbelievable, and I hate the drugs with a passion. But my doctor says I am now "Opiate Sophisticate". Which means that over the last few years I have built up a immune to most all pain medications and really get no relief from most anymore unless they are in really high doses. Sucks big time. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day. Chin Up!...

Dude, if there is one thing my father taught me that left a lasting impression, it was that it was perfectly okay for a grown man and a little boy to cry. It doesn't mean that we are weak or sissies or anything like that, it simply means that we are not afraid to show our feelings.

My father didn't cry often, but I have seen him cry at the loss of a beloved nephew, sob uncontrollably over the loss of a son and a daughter, as well as a brother; I have even seen him cry when his beloved queenie passed on; she was the best black and tan coonhound a man could ever hope to lay eyes on. Rock on pops, you were the best teacher a boy could ever hope to have had...
