Guest guest Posted June 8, 2000 Report Share Posted June 8, 2000 Dear Becky, The reason you have friends is so that you do not always be the strong one.We can do that for you. I understand exactly how you feel. Even my family sometimes has a hard time believing that i hurt as bad as i do . It also makes it very difficult since i have always been very proactive in teaching at church and coaching cheerleading etc.that people don't understand when i have to back out and can't do it that i really hurt too bad. I have a very strong family and they have always rallied around me but they have to question sometimes what is happening to me inside. Please don't feel that you don't have the right to vent we all do and here is the perfect place to do it. I have as of yet figured out the reason i had to be the one with such an untreatable condition but i know in time that go d will show me why. Hang in there we are all in your corner.

So I just don't talk to her as much. Same with church, I am tired of the questions and repeating the info over and over. Well enough of my rambling. >> Becky, How well you express the sentiments I feel most of the time. Perhaps we are all stuck in the " anger " phase and can't get to acceptance. I know that whenever I feel as if I am getting close to accepting my illness for what it is, I find out something else that brings me right back to the anger. As long as this illness continues to deteriorate my health, I think I will continue to repeat this anger over and over again. I feel just as you described most of the time, so don't feel alone in this. I try to give all to the Lord to handle for me, but this isn't me. I've always been the person people came too for advice, guidance, and support. Now I have to give it all up and not worry about it at all? Can't do it. I do pray daily for the ability to accept my condition and the changes it brings upon my life. I also thank God daily for my supportive wife and children (all adults now) and my continuing in my job, but it still is difficult. Hang in there Becky. Perhaps we need to stay in this anger phase we seem to be stuck in until we learn to accept what this illness has to offer our lives. Somehow, we all must move on and work towards being as productive as we are allowed to be when we feel up to it. Let's face it, while this disease will someday be my death and I know it, it could be 40 years from now or longer. I refuse to not live until I die. You should feel the same as I do, and if you don't, you are doing yourself a grave disservice. Sorry to take so long to get back to you on this. I haven't been able to read the postings or my e-mail for the past week. This illness still seems to be regressing and my employment status is getting into the area of extreme jeopardy. Sorry to hear about your physical state as well as your mental state lately. We're going to make it, we just need to be willing to accept help from time to time.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2000 Report Share Posted June 13, 2000 Dear Andre' and all, How right you are that we can't just sit around. I have spent so much time in the last year wondering why I have this and feeling sorry for myself. I have to keep reminding myself that life is what happens everyday. I have to start enjoying what I can of each day that passes by. If I don't, before I know it, it will all be over and what will I have to look back on? I am feeling somewhat better these days. I think it is the reason for my better mood. I still would like a firm diagnosis but my MD wants to just sit back and see what happens for now. I guess I will just do that. She is willing to send me out of town if things get 'out of hand'. Just knowing that she believes something is wrong and is willing to keep investigating helps a lot. For now, I really do need a break from tests and doctors etc... I am going to start taking Prilosec, I have my pain meds and my nausea meds. Take care for now everyone!!!
