Hello Again...

I know I haven't posted in a long while I hope all of you are doing well. As for me not so much; so here is the (hopefully) short story, I got a job but said job makes me want to quit I'm pretty sure I hate it I'm trying to find a new one but no dice. And now to add to my long list of symptoms I've been FALLING ! LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME ! I gave meself not one not two but THREE mild concussions during these last two months! First time I fell during work and hit my head on me desk, second I fell in the shower hit my head, sholder, wrist, and hip and lastley third times the charm... I fell out of bed which I can only assume because I woke up with my dog licking my face to wake me up I have no idea when I fell or how long I was there I just all the sudden woke up with my head hurting like hell. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO yeah not so fun time for me.And as I didn't have enough to worry about, it's not like my flares aren't already bad, I have to much pain now a days that I can't move without wanting to burts into tears or I can't even walk I have to be in a wheel chair to be pushed around or push myself around if my arms don't hurt. More then anything right now I feel overwhelmed just with everything. To the point where I just really don't want to do anything anymore, I'm finding it hard to be strong, to find the will to be for another day, I'm getting weaker and weaker and I hate it.

Welcome back. It sounds like so many of us are feeling this way lately. I wish our doctors could do more for us. I know when I go to the doctor, I can't seem to be able to communicate well enough exactly how I feel and what I go through each day. I've been working with my doctors on a medicine regimen that will work and hope to find a way to stop hurting so much soon. I hope you find something that will help you feel better.

I'm glad to see you back but sorry to learn that your health issues are worse. I'd encourage you to see,a cardiologist and a neurologist and and an ENT for complete work ups. It sounds like you may have some underlying issues which are causing you to fall. You have to be your own best advocate. Take care.

    We're all troubled.WSo, to remind ourselves we're not at rock bottom (this is a reverse optimism thing I learned as a kid):We are not living on the island of Krakatoa when the volcano goes boom!Yeah, okay, that sucks.***Toay in 1942, Pierre Laval announced that the way to free France was for Germany to win WW2.

Your risk of death or serious complications beyond "ow, that shot hurt!" are typically...
