[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 160676"] Linda - I totally understand. Some days I want to scream and some days I just have nothing good to say to anyone cause I feel so lousy and am so frustrated and so sick of it all that I feel toxic and some days I don't have the energy for either. And then some days I feel like I can take this thing on. It's ok to feel this way, you know. You're allowed to grieve what you've lost and the dramatic changes it's brought to your body and your life. You're allowed to be angry at this illness and what it's done to you. You're allowed to feel betrayed by your body. You're allowed to be frustrated because you are still waiting on some kind of answers that will at least help you understand what you are in for and where to go from here. Acceptance is a process. My GP told me last week (or was it the week before...I can't even remember) that I will probably never get back to where I used to be. As devastating as that should have been, it wasn't. It was hard to hear, but I think I've had time to get used to the fact. Doesn't mean I like it. I hate it, actually. And it doesn't mean that because I've accepted this fact that I'm not angry or frustrated. I'm both. But, at least these things don't knock the wind out of me as they used to. So, I guess I'm getting there...a bit closer to acceptance. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
