Sam that is great news!! Heck, the first day is challenging for everyone and you did it! We just knew you could

Good work. Pace yourself when needed and remember we are all rooting for you.

Dear Sam,

This is GREAT news!!! Every step, is a wonderful victory for you !

Thanks for letting us know about your progress.

When things get overwhelming for me, which they often are,
I try to just focus on taking it one day at a time.

Take care Sam

Hey again everyone,



Now with a week of school under my belt, my dreamy unreal feeling is getting a lot worse, and I don't know why.


My symptoms are random. One day I'm moderate the next it's so bad I can't even listen to someone In conversation.


I really need treatment for this. But no one knows what it is yet. Still waiting on taking that fancy thyroid test to see if that's it. Honestly, if I can't find a answer for this what's the point ? Why should I have to live in this horrible dreamy/unreal state? This is not how life should be. Not for anyone.



At this point I don't even cry about it.. It's so frustrating and confusing that I just can't take it anymore..


Sure, the first school day went well. But I guarantee the majority of my school days will be like today and be HORRIBLE cause of this feeling.

If anyone has an idea of what my symptom is please tell me.. ANY IDEA will be greatly appreciated



Anything is everything at this point..



For people new to this thread my symptom is:

Constant 24/7 dreamy, spaced out, unreal state. Whole body is numb. My sense of touch is only about 75%. I basically feel high all the time.. And I hate it. It gets worse but it never gets better.

Could it be MS?

Could it be MS?

Hmm. Could be. But I can't really find anything that has to do with a dreamy/unreal feeling with MS.

Anything on the thyroid test yet?

Hope you don't mind; just thought of a few questions. Are you a very thin person or on the heavy side? Do you feel angry and often easily irritated by others or what someone may have done or said?

Is there any bullying from others going on?

Also, when you are in a class; are you mentally there or are your thoughts out the window somewhere??

Sam;
Hang in there; you don't appear to be a quitter.

Yes Sam
i do know how you feel
it has been with me too all my life
"it" frustrates me to no end
you a young man have an upper hand
you recognize it
and are also going through the process of ELIMINATION
just know the odds are on your side
how frustrating it is not having control of our own mind
command it to do something
and nothing
i have learned so much more about myself since becoming ill physically
but all the other "stuff" that now surfaced and my body being off chemically
such as the OCD, hormones that it be too much or too little
HORMONES are a big deal on so many levels
never give up
fighting the fight
you don't have to go it alone
you are helping me and others
with you sharing
don't stop
love
me
