Yep! I certainly do. My whole family. They just don't understand it. I'm glad I found this group. Gentle Hugs!!!!!

I'm sorry...I just can't all right now....

..............look, I'm REALLY sorry...it's nothing persona....but, I just can't talk right now......

.................................Godd#*n it..I SAD I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW!!!!




Yeh...you're probably right, my meds are making me bit&$y.

"walk it off".."stop taking all those meds and you'll feel better"....."if you stay in bed all day you'll get worse"....."i hurt to,btw im going to disney land for 3 days"

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

oh man,great topic....i get so upset at the normals who think they know whats best or what we endure..how bout this

"i need help with my house."...normal.."what kind of help do you need?"...me " simple everyday chores,the house is a mess"..normal"well im sorry,wish i could help but dont have time"....

ummmm....why did you bother asking what kind of help i need if you werent goping to offer help?idiot....

but..i have a new friend,a normal..shes awesome..i told her i could only pay her 20 bucks to clean my house,she said no problem,you have been through so much,i dont mind helping at all,when do you want me to do it?

i cried,she hugged me and said its ok...ill help you..she did most the house today and is doing the rest tom....im blessed..

I'm just in tears right now. My kids just don't understand why I can't get in the car and drive.....after all, I don't have to do anything but sit there and steer. :( I feel bad for my kids....and some how I will get them to where they want to go, but right now I just haven't figured out how. I would give anything to have a little help once in a while!

My favorite is, you're ONLY 37 there is no way it can be that bad, it's not like you were in a bad accident....HELLO really bad fall on ice, is that NOT an accident? And JC it is not just you or the meds because I stopped the good ones 14 months ago & I'm still a witch & that's putting very nice & mildly.

Then the best, usually from the hubby, you are just crazy, it's all the meds that you took & put into your body over a 3 year period & IT"S ALL IN YOUR HEAD, now there's a lot of things in my head & imagining pain is not one, now imagining shooting him......jury's still out, lol & yes I am kidding. I think that's one of the reasons I'm still here & married, I always blow everything off & let if roll off my shoulders (hey bet that's my whole back issue, too much crap hitting as it all rolled down). He actually knows what I say because I'm not that shy now & I will tell him off if need be (mmmm, should've started that years ago).

Actually, I was starting to get worried they might arrest me when I had him in the ER because of all the comments that kept flying out of my mouth but I just couldn't help it. Then of course he starts in about being a battered husband in front of the nurse & doctor. Thankfully they took one look & laughed at him. Let's see 6'2 330lbs to 5'nothing any more (just lost 2 from the disc's clasping) & last check a few days ago down from 212 to 195 (yeah me). They actually picked up on my pain & through out that it looked more like I s/b in the bed hooked up to the IV w/dilauted, lol, only in my dreams.

Crap, gotta go do dinner or fight w/the hubby & I'm not up to the fight.....

The medications are whats making you ahve pain

If you exercise your pain will get better.

Actually, no mom, it will get way worse.

soooo, you took the bus downtown and haaad to take a nap, are you suuuure you can't do more?

are you finished with my staple gun? i hung things one day and couldn't move for 3. i'm not putting myarms above my head again. i need help. please take it back. noooo, that's okkkk.

struck a chord jan!!

There are people out there with far worse problems.

Just get dressed. You'll feel better once you get there.

This is funny...y'all are doing what's said to you and I'm doing my replies to what's said t me...guessin' u can figure out with each what I'm responding to...

Well...THANK GOD you figured out from that article what's wrong with me...and that guy out know who had EXACTLY the same thing did that and it worked...

Now I can finally stop going go doc after doc and test after test looking or answers from all those folks with years of education and experience what can't seem to figure out what you have...thanks

Me: My brain MRI showed lesions and the report said it is lupus or MS.
Cousin: You don't have lupus or MS. You just need to start eating organic foods and exercise.

Darn it JC, I love a good laugh but it's so hard to drag my 'big, lazy' butt off the floor, HELP, I'VE FALLEN & I CAN'T GET UP!!! Love this post, thanks JC for keeping me going...

I'm w/Cindy too, hello, that person is standing & walking......HEY, I'm the one down here stuck on the floor...No I can't get up...

I know I look like I'm feeling better. I'm trying to look better on the outside. Have you heard a word I've been saying all these years? I tried to walk it off...now I'm riding it off, lol.
