Default Everyone, please welcome, SB Surfer
WELCOME SB Surfer!

.... extracted your post from another thread which is quite a crossfire.... thought you should have your own "space" ... you still here????

including the citation you quoted, for context...

There seem to be too many things that are not well understood about neuro diseases at present; someday, they will be, but not in my time. So that is what, in your terms, my brain and gumption are telling me. My intuition, which may be wrong, is in play; after all is said and done, all the information and facts and conversations and tests are over, intuition is what remains. I'd like to be optimistic. There is a certain point, however, at which even hope -- the only item that did not escape Pandora's box -- escapes, flies away, never to be seen again.
and your original post:

At least I now found this forum where I can talk to others who are capable of genuine empathy. So, you are in good company here I think...
i am glad you have your wife and twins... 12 years is a long time to suffer with chronic pain... it is normal to have suicidal thoughts. sometimes they can be a sort of mental escape too. keep remembering though, that having the thoughts does not mean they must be acted on. they are a manifestation of pain and a potent call to nurture yourself.

i hope we can help you with that. please share more and join in the other threads as you feel able. and keep on keepin on!

Smile For Sure Welcome
Hey Surfer- Glad as a parent to twins myself to know you are here among us. 50 somethings do have difficulties, a good many, family, home, and hearth. Pain, the great equalizer, brings all of us to our knees. I find that a place from which to pray....

Peace to you,
Mark56

Good grief..I also have a set of twins! Welcome SB Surfer..it looks like suicidal thoughts aren't the only common denominator around here. *grin

Thank you ~waves~.
