I don't have first hand experience of your health issues but can identify with the 'sick and tired of being sick and tired' thing.

Yes, a different kind of blog, but variety makes it an original read. Chin up xx

I hope you are post recovery now. Your honesty was so wonderful and your willingness to be vulnerable touched me deeply. I too have multiple other health problems besides MS and it can be very overwhelming.
Thanks for being a bright spot for all of us!

Posted a comment, but don't think it sent. First and foremost, you are real and allowed to vent as much as anyone. That is not being negative. We have extenuating circumstances. I consider myself a very lucky person, because I too have wonderful friends. More than most! If I didn't get to spend time with them I would be miserable. Hope all goes well for you! xoxo Janet Tancredi
p.s. my daughter and I went to see "Every Brilliant Thing" Then spent the afternoon in the Village. What a great day and fabulous show!

Great stuff.

Second, I love that you wrote this, right when you felt it. When we blog, we sometimes tidy up like we would for company. Writing honestly isn't often tidy. It's real and it's sometimes raw. I got an undeniable sense for the frustration you're feeling ...

And more than that, I feel the underlying strength and hope you feel for better days.

I led a "maybe life" for y-e-a-r-s because of the pain and inconvenience of uterine polyps and also debilitating migraines. I tell you this only so you understand my level of empathy with your situation. I'm so so sorry you have to continue to deal with pain and illness. Wish I could give you a big hug! Instead, I'll tell you that I'm glad you wrote this because it is important to let those feelings go onto the page sometimes. It's imperative, actually. You never know who you'll inspire or help or maybe make feel less alone in this sometimes-cruel world. Crossing my fingers and sending positive vibes that all works out with your reunion, and that the stones are able to pass without too much discomfort. *massivehugs*

I am sorry to hear you were "hit" with something else. I have great empathy as I was "hit" by something recently where I had to take medical leave for 2 1/2 months.

Sometimes I feel since my TBI 7 years ago that all I do is, fight ongoing problems including tremendous fatigue.

Interesting reading this today because I was just thinking I have been "hit" so many times sometimes I don't have enough energy to get up and fight one more round.

I pray and hope with all my heart that things change for the better for you. I truly hope that dime turns heads up.

Also it's healthy to vent at times. We all need that outlet.
Heid

I'm glad you have a place to vent. I hope you dime lands heads up too!

We've all probably been there at one time or another, and we know that one of the best ways to deal with such things is to share it with a trusted friend who knows when to give you a hug and when to just let you vent. You can count yourself lucky to have so many friends both near and far (real and virtual) who are here for you-- to offer an ear and a long-distance hug. I really hope you are able to navigate through this rough spot and attend the reunion with your friends.

Dealing with illnesses and the recent passing of parents and friends makes me want to avoid pain. That's a lame response, but I want you to know you are on my mind. We've only met once but I feel as if we are dear friends. As in the M*A*S*H movie you mention, friends are surrounded by chaos, war, and pain - but they find healing in stories, unity, and laughter. You are in my prayers, and I hope you get a new doctor, a new diagonisis, and a healing prognosis so you can attend your reunion and laugh until you puke. Sending hugs from across the country.

I am so very sorry that you have another awful hurdle to navigate. I am sending you positive light and will be keeping you in my prayers. Thank you for sharing your vulnerable places with us.
