Hi Kelly,

I relate to all you are saying and my heart goes out to you. It has been difficult for me as well to go from a very busy person to basicly a pile of rubble.
It has been a very rough year physically, mentally, and spirituality for me. I lost my Dad, my Mom is terminally ill, lost my job and my health all in 6 months time....it has definately taken a toll.
I am hoping that I can get back to some form of work soon, it is difficult when you don't know day to day what your body is going to do.

I haven't been able to work since I went out on what I thought would be a two month leave (that was in Feb. 2003). It's been a huge adjustment to go from a busy person who got to use my brain to one who spends most days leaving the house once a day for a cup of coffee.

Take care,
Kelly

My deepest sympathies on the loss of your father, and your mother's illness.

If you are taking rx'd pain meds, have they added an anti depressant with it?
Often the combo will work together to lessen pain levels.
Of course meds won't fix the TOS, but you might feel a bit better to deal with symptoms and such.

Jo*Mar,

Thank you for your condolences.

I am on depression meds and have been for many years.
For the most part they seem to do the job, and leary about changing anything up in that area right now. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Teresa,

I'm sorry that you've had to deal with so much simultaneously. I'm overwhelmed just dealing with how I feel let alone what you've been dealing with. I hope you'll find some comfort here.

Kelly
