[QUOTE="Star*, post: 383907, member: 4964"] This may be way out of line....but since I am not there to invite you to Bob Evans, has anyone suggested you find a MG support group? (twists lip and exhales) See, I can think about all the great suggestions from a friends perspective, and I can assume what a doctor or a pharmacist may or may not do, and I can empathise and even sympathise with dark depression and chronic pain. I live with it every day. HOWEVER - it's not YOUR pain, it's not YOUR worries, it's not YOUR way of dealing with things. I would love to say "Hey Heather I'll swing by and pick you up and take you to the fair, and get you some cotton candy, a puppy, a balloon and it will be all better, you'll see!" Just hoping something in there would perk you up, but there is no way in this world that I could possibly know what you are going through - another person with MG? They would. I think the neatest realization I ever came to here on this board in trying to help anyone with chronic pain was when Witz gave me the spoon poem. So much realism in it, that it made me understand that while I want you to be better, I can not wish you better, or hope you better. I can only let you know, I'm here however you need me from as far away as I am which basically means - I love you, and that's all I can do from here. Maybe in knowing that? It helps just a little. As far as Christmas? One thing at a time kiddo. You first. Santa later. [/QUOTE]
