I am in better spirits today, and what to show I am not all doom and gloom. So since being diagnosed I have acomplished lots: I finished my degree often spending the weekend in the hospital and going to class and work on monday, I have always done what my children need or want, I have volunteered in their classes, which to volunteer in a 1st grade class with a headache is a major sucess. So no I am not all doom and gloom, No IH has not or will not win and if I can suffer this illness and still continue a mostly normal life so can each and everyone of u. I worked, went to school and maintained good grades. Sorry for the ramble and brag but have been down it felt good to step back and look @ what I achieved.

Hey - good for you! You should be proud of yourself, and if you inspire only 1 person to do the same, then you have accomplished even more!
Keep the faith! Judie

You are so awesome and congrats on finishing your degree while raising your children, and volunteering on top of that when you are dealing with this crazy disease.
You're not bragging, you are acknowledging everything you have done and it reminds me to do the same for myself. there is nothing wrong with being proud of your accomplishments, heck there were days when I was so sick that just getting out of bed and taking a shower was a gold star for me. So get some big gold stars and put then on your wall since you deserve them! Give your self a high five from me, Blessings, Jazzy

This is amazing, and so nice to read. Post like this really make me rethink my life. what am I doing? It's amazing that you got your degree and took care of your children going through this. I believe anxiety plays a huge role in my struggles, like jenbug suggested . I felt like she was handing me a message from God.
I've had many days like Jazzy mentioned, I've also had days were I was outside with my kids riding a scooter up and down the road like I was 8 years old. And then I've had days were my mind took over and ran through every little thing that could possibly happen (or so we think could happen) The one thing I know for sure is that I am tired of feeling like a victim. Yesterday I felt head pressure. I was actually having a HA. (which is rare for me) and my mind began to wander around the what ifs. I just had to tell myself.. so.. what if??? Worrying about it isn't making my life any better. I thank you for sharing your success. It gives us hope and that is something we so desperately need from time to time.
