Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Support Group
This community is a place where members can discuss current events and weigh in on what's going on in the world.
I have been lying in bed since Friday at 2 pm because no one can get to me. Except the EMT's and now the Fire Dept. Five hulking men transferring me in a sheet to my wheelchair for 5 minutes. And they bring me a piece of coffee cake so I have something to eat. Would have liked a cup of coffee. The roads are nearly impassable,The public transit has been shut down since Friday at 3:30. None of my helpers can get to me and my back is screaming in pain.
Now this is a situation where I could feel victimized. But how is that going to help me?? It would only make me feel worse
So frankly all this anguish and drama over trolls, liars and what not is getting me really annoyed.
The way I see it, there are really serious issues in life we all have. These discussions just get everyone stressed and upset. Also hurt and misunderstood. If we come across a troll or suspect a person of something lets pass it along to the DS administrator and just move on.
I am speaking frankly here. I see no good and a lot of bad coming out of these 'discussions'. Lets stay on track with support. That is what we really need.
Thanks.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
Best wishes to you for a speedy recovery!
Melanie, I am so sorry to hear your situation is like that. If we were only closer, it would be so much easier to help one another! I would gladly bring you a cup of coffee, sit and drink it with you, AND eat some coffe cake or cheesecake or something yummy! You have just put things into perspective for all of us. Thank you!

I agree with your sentiments re trolls.
Every time I try to come back, this is a issue for me, I guess just bad timing for me as I'm a very passive person and don't want any conflict in my life. Sorry about the snow, here it is only knee deep, but it has kept me from being able to do any walking and I really need to walk or I feel like I'm slowing losing what little I can. On a side note they said the wood chuck said it will be a early spring but I think the chuck should have had a better look outside lol I hope all is well with you
Take Care

I am so sorry that you don't have anyone nearby that can come in & help, even if only to have something to eat & drink.
You are a strong lady & said everything else well but just wish people would just ignore it all & get on with life & helping each other.
As an idea if you put what area (suburb/town) maybe someone on here is from the same are or knows someone that can come in & at least chat & have a cup of tea/coffee & cake with you.
Hope it is over soon too.
Melanie, please give us an update on your condition. I continue to think about you.
The news here has been showing some of the situations with the snow, people being snowed in ect, I am originally from UK and snow can be a problem, And yes I agree about the troll situation
Keep us updated please
Amy
THANK YOU for putting things in to perspective! I was just thinking about participating here more when all the 'stuff' hit the fan and I backed away again. NONE of us need that negativity and drama. I'm so happy that you have shared your situation and hope it shows others what really is important.
I pray your situation has improved and that things are going MUCH better!
((((hugs))))
