I was taken off baclofen (it was not helping) and they put me on something else...so i had an allergic reaction to the new meds and when off baclofen to fast went thru withdrawls all at the same time. Just shitty!!!! (literaly) and now I have this nasty cold and I cant sleep!!! But...here is the thing...I still get up in the morning...I am still alive...and I feel strong mentally (most times) WE all should be sooooo proud of ourselfs....I am proud of each and every one of u.

I, too, have this thought quite often. I think we are like a TImex, we take a licking and still keep ticking. We are resilliant...amazing the ways we have come up with to accomplish tasks on our own; we are caring...look at all the posts to help each other, and the posts that discuss the other things we can do to volunteer our time; we are hopefull...how many discussions about things that make come along and who it may help. We are a great community that does not give up and is there for each other. WE ROCK.

Totally agree. Even when we've had bad days/times we keep bouncing back.
I had a low day yesterday. Was pretty tetchy at work (couldn't figure out why) and then just completely lost it last night feeling depressed and sorry for myself. Hubby was great - told me that it was fine to have these feelings as long as I acknowledge them then get right back up and be myself again. In his words (which made me smile):
'If you let it win, it not only beats you, but it looks over your shoulder and sticks its fingers up at me, too'.
Here's to having a better day, for all of us x
