All-in-all, I have given up explaining to people what it is, the way I feel and the ups and downs... except among those of us who realize just exactly what we are going thru! Though I did mention prior Just what a great wife I have! A woman, who listens to me and and tries to understand just what GOOBER is all about, I feel guilty alot of the time as I get a bit pre-occupied with whats going on with me that I am not as sensitive to hearing or recognizing her needs!

My wife and I have a baby girl, and i feel guilty because i feel i don't help out enough. My wife is great, and does a great job trying to understand how i feel and whats going on. I wonder often if my family and co-workers understand what I'm going through. I read that spoon analogy - spot on!, and almost started crying (i'm at work, and in a very "macho" business- crying probably not the best idea right now.) anyways....thanks for that link. here's to hoping everyone has a good day.

This is what TOS pain feels like to me - an old post.
