Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I'm still here. I am really " feeling " that I have MS now after 16 years with this illness. I could always fake it pretty good before. But, the fatigue and the balance problems are now pretty constant so I am having to " readjust " my life, what I can and cannot do, what I say to people who ask, etc. YEah, I'm a little frustrated. I know many have it so much worse than I. At the same time, I feel LOSs and I am kind of grieving for what I " used " to be. I am trying to concentrate on what I can do and look to the future with hope. IT isn't easy. Just talking to my husband about it, he doesn't want me to say that I am disabled yet. I am though. (One of those attitudes that christians try to put on you, I believe in God, and his timing and his healing, and I also believe he wants me to work through this as I am guided to. I won't let people necessarily PRAY over me because I don't feel like being asked, WELL, HOW DO YOU FEEL like I need to have a MIRACLE RIGHT THEN. It is kind of unkind.) I am withdrawing from some antidepressants that I was on because they were actually causing problems. I feel better now, but I also think that is why my symptoms are acting up. less bladder control, less balance and needing my cane all the time, etc. I also started a diet with LA WEIGHT LOSS, and today was the first time I heard that a diet can be a STRESS. WEll, shucks, that makes sense and could also be why I'm symptomatic. I'm here....THANKS FOR LISTENING...... God's blessings on everyone and their individual situations.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 , sorry you're going through such a tough time of it. Have you seen your neurologist lately? You said you stopped taking some antidepressant meds. Some of them you need to ween off of. Does your doc know you did this? Maybe you need to be on a different antidepressant. People with MS have depression, it's a fact of life. We're here for you. Shirleymimarg5557 wrote: I'm still here. I am really "feeling" that I have MS now after 16 years with this illness.
