[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 137437, member: 393"] [COLOR=DarkSlateGray][B]Heather, I'm sorry, so very sorry that your body is letting you down; that your feeling so very sad. Believe me, I understand....... I told my GP this past week, that I'll probably come home from Mayo Clinic (going there with 2 solid diagnosis's & looking for the right treatment plan) & come home with "the world's longest & most stubborn sinus infection". :scared::capitulate::rofl: I determined a long time ago, when my seizures were so very uncontrolled that I had to take back my body. While I couldn't control the physical happenings, I could control my reactions to what was going on. Heather, in the long run, that is how I developed my sense of humor, my patience & my love for golf. (You have to talk to the doctor's about something different every now & then - impress 'em with your last game & they are willing to put more effort into your treatment. I swear it's true!!!! :doctor::rofl: And saying that now, isn't helping. I know that. There have been times over the last 9 months where I just wanted to quit. I've never felt so ill - just like you've been feeling. In the meantime, when I've been able to read I've been reading the book "Living Well with A Chronic Illness". Has a great deal of day to day, common sense information for making a "game plan", if you will, for life with a chronic condition. So you don't feel so stuck - so blind sided each day. Living life not knowing what the heck your body is doing is mind numbing at best. Accepting the new limitations this illness has placed on your body, on your soul is heart breaking some days - freeing others. Learning new ways to work around those limitations can be challenging (still can't get up or down stairs very well & haven't found an affordable answer yet). I guess, after all this rambling, I just want you to know I understand. That I'm sending very gentle (((hugs))) your way this morning. [/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
