Im sorry to say this....God forgive me, I dont want anything at this point to slow down the progress. I would rather they show me something to speed it along and get it over with.

I dont understand why this disease has the ability to rip apart everyone involved in a slow agonizing manner and somehow expects us all to "survive" intact watching its progression.

Again God forgive me, But I want this to be all over. No more debilitating depression or pain for any one.
