Frustrating Stories

  • a little feedback from anyone who cares to comment

    Wednesday, April 30, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    OK, here's what happened.  My husband has been behaving even more dysfunctionally than usual lately!  He has in the space of a few short weeks, gone from a technophobe to an internet junkie, text messaging maniac.  He has abused these things, and lied about his reasons for doing them.
    This is about the text messaging he recently added to his cell phone.  He lied about two thin...

  • It's a daily struggle

    Thursday, July 10, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Oh, I don't know!  I have been doing better lately, but it is so hard for me.  I have to be very supportive of him right now because he is having mental health issues.  It is very diffcult for me to put aside my own feelings of pain and anger and support him!  Dispensing his meds, keeping them locked up, making sure he doesn't accicentially drink more than two beers a week.&nb...

  • Being "Right" Or Doing The Right Thing?

    Friday, September 5, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Can somebody PLEASE explain to me WHY in the blank blankity blank being "right" means so much to some people, and doing the right thing NEVER seems to matter?  A foremr friend of mine actually said to me, "Barb, guess what I figured out?  What happens doesn't matter, all that matters is how you feel about it."  Translated, "What happens doesn't matter, all that matters is how I fee...

I am 30!!  Only 30!!!  And I am sure that it is from the stress that I am hiding in my face.  Genetically, I should not have wrinkles.  I know this is total rambling... I know that...

    Wednesday, December 26, 2012 | A Frustrating story

    It sucks to be me right now!  It double, triple, quadruple, quintuple-sucks to have MS in the winter.  Even though heat sensitivity in the summers here in Cincinnati is zero fun, if I stay inside in the air conditioning, I am fine, but lucky girl that I am I also have cold sensitivity!
    And with the wide temp flip-flops this area is so widely known for, my body cannot adjust and compensa...

  • Dry Heaves

    Monday, March 25, 2013 | A Frustrating story

    Let's all talk about dry heaves and discuss how awful it is!
    Because of my MS I throw up sometimes for no real reason, and even though just throwing up is fairly grim...
    WHAT I REALLY HATE IS THE DRY HEAVES!
    IT ALWAYS STARTS WITH PROJECTILE VOMITING!
    YOUR STOMACH EMPTIES!
    THAT'S WHEN THE REAL TORTURE BEGINS!
    WHEN
    YOU
    JUST
    KEEP
    RETCHING
    AND
    RETCHING!
    NOTHING
    LEFT
    TO
    THROW
    UP!
    AND

    YOU
    WANT
    IS

  • My Scariest MS Event to Date

    Sunday, May 12, 2013 | A Frustrating story

    Yesterday was my birthday and it sadly was NOT a happy day.  I was walking down my driveway and instead of walking to my car, I fell.  Unlike every other time i've fallen, i couldn't get my legs under me.  My mom had to call 911.  They put me on a special chair and carried me into my house since i couldn't walk.  11 years with MS and this has never happened.  It scar...
