I'm so tired, no pun intended, of feeling broken and unable to cope!!!! You are not alone. I truely believe the problem is with everyone else. They simply cannot understand how you feel, and many of them think it's all in your head because " it's the disease of the day " . I was actually told that by a former friend. I cope by seeing a counseler who is wonderful and by sharing my feelings with my always supportive spouse. If you don't have a counseler or a spouse/close friend you can talk to please find one. It really helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Really? I didn't know that. She wrote the book as well because the movie was based on the book. I love that movie!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hey ! I’m so glad you have found a med that works for you! How wonderful…sometimes there is just the right combo that helps – I used to get that hip-to heel shooting pain (with the lovely butt-spazz) – it’s awful…and that same thing other places too…I did try Gabapentin (older version of Lyrica) but got too stoned at too low a dose <sigh>…more brain-whack I don’t need…but I do not think I have nearly as much pain these days as what you deal with. Last winter I sure did, but it’s not so bad this year. I’m so happy for you dear!

Until this thread, I thought it was just ME. I so appreaciate those that are spilling themselves out for those of us that need it. Your timing could not be better, I might add.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hey Dorie, I sometimes think that having relationships that are positive helps us keep going when things are really tough. Why not give this guy a chance. You won't know if you have the stamina etc unless you try, and it might be something really helpful to you emotionally and result in improved health. Maybe not, but you won't know unless you try it. Sandrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
