Hi!

Hey All,

Just stopping by. Another busy day at work. I'm on a hard hat construction jobsite. It's kind of demanding, but I'm good with it........so far. I feel good being back and I'm hoping it works out.

I hope ya'll are doing OK. I'm on a job that has no internet access, but I do have my phone and check the posts........so keep them coming if you can.

All those in need, hang in there. We can start our day over as many times as we need to.

Big Hugs,
David.

Hello everyone.

33 days. I'm feeling annoyed by the littliest things. Being stuck in survival mode for too long is taking it's toll, I guess. I'm tired of being unwell and seeing to the appointment coming up is making me anxious. Itfs like wanting to win the race but don't know if I have enough in me to get to the finish line without tripping. T

hen I'm worried that he won't do anything useful or different than what I've tried. That it will all be a big letdown. That he can't or won't help me. That my last hope will be lost.

Hugs to you all, friends.

Hope your days are going better than the norm.

Hi everyone!
I've been doing better these last couple of days. Trying to be very careful so that I don't ruin it like I usually do by overdoing. So I'm keeping a slow pace.
I wish you all pain relief and a nice day tomorrow.
Hugs, Ama

i wokenup upset but my payers where anserwd hugs and payers to all hug minnie

One month away......

Woke up feeling like a truck hit me and a busy day full of responsibility ahead. I also woke up to two messages from people I haven't heard from on this forum for a while, plus 3 unsolicited hugs. The kindness of the people on this site know no bounds. One migrainer even gave me a tip on some pain med I never heard of but I can ask at my upcoming appointment.

Aside from what was given to me, it was nice to see the names pop up because I get concerned when I don't see posting action for a while, and it's nice when people check in to say hello and let you know things are okay with them.

You guys are not just names and cute avatars to me. You are a busy community of real people with voices and lives and hearts. I've grown real fond of you all.

Hi Everyone,

I have been isolating a bit of late due to some depression brought on by a new MS symptom. Sometimes it takes me awhile to adjust to new symptoms. My vision is being effected now, this has happened before and has always gone away with time.

Usually people with MS have optic neuritis, I never have. Instead I get extreme double vision. It distorts my vision to the point it is hard to see. I always have a bit of double vision and wear prisms in my glasses to correct it, but when it gets this bad my glasses do nothing for me.

I see my neurologist today so I am hopeful that I will get some help. This has been a trying time. My sense of humor is failing me, but I know she is still in there. Hugs, Cathy

As you struggle with depression due to MS Cathy, I struggle with extreme fatigue. Mostly due to pain medication. and its affects. The up side is that now the pain is under control but its all I can do to keep my eyes open. Guess theres no way around it, can't have it both ways, not when you have chronic pain.
Good to see you posting Cathy. Hope things continue to improve for you.
love n hugs, Vicky xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cathy, when you have double vision, see if closing one eye helps. It always helps me. Gentle hugs.

KEESKA,

Thank you that is a good suggestion, in fact while I am out today I think I will get an eye patch. Just call me Captain Cathy, Argggg Mateys!!! Hugs to you all, Cathy. Argggg. : )

Now Cathy...don't you recall that I suggested you get a Pirate costume back when this double vision started! You might as well find a stuffed parrot and glue it to our shoulder, too!

Oh...post a pic!

Hey Everyone,

As I said, I went back to work full time this week, in a different capacity. I'm on an actual construction site, with a lot of walking. I love being back, but I feel like I've gone a round with Mike Tyson, but I still have both ears.

I have missed being here as much, but this position is very demanding, and I had a busy evening to do list this week.

I feel so good being able to go back to work.............for now. I will see how I feel when it gets colder.

Thanks to all of you for being here. I still check my e-mail by phone at work and I get an uplift when I read the posts I watch.

I hope you all have a great night.

Big Hugs,
David.

Majority of pain is under control which is very good news but the side affect of the med. is making me sooo tired, uuugg!!!! Living with it as I don't know that there's much of a choice unless somebody out there knows something I don't??? Any good suggestions???
Thanks n hope everyone has a wonderful week-end.
hugs n loads of love, Vicky xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good Morning,

Took Rocco out this morning and he even said it was cold. Just 42 degrees, but that's cold for me. It looks like I'll be working outside and in an unheated building this winter. We'll see how that will fly. Work has taken a lot out of me this week and I will spend the day resting.

Thanks for all of you being here for me, and each other.

Big Hugs,
David.
