Shouldn't be jealous n sad when he's gone but shit I can't go out unless someone takes me...I've been so down n its like he doesn't notice or he sees just doesn't acknowledge it..I'm so friggin frustrated...now I'm worried bout applying for ssi n trying to start the process...blah I wanna just go away disappear for a while n some needed rest..idk what the point of this post is..guess to say I'm sad frustrated n lonely n I needed to vent

I think you got it right, this is just a bad week for some. Maybe it is because it's so darn hot outside, nobody is really doing anything, and summer is a time to be enjoying the outside, going places, doing things, seeing things. But, with MS, your limited. Like you said, you have to wait until someone comes takes you out. I'm the same way. I don't go anywhere unless someone takes me. So many times today I wished i could just pop in my car and go here or there.

So, chaulk it up to just being in a slump, and remember things can only go up from here. And they will!

it is so GOOD to vent. i am lost myself. (btw always love your posts. they are so pertinent). last wk, before dx, i told my mother i wanted to stay in the whole wkend and she seemed not to understand.

during the week, i take care of my father and look at wkends as my break.

this wkend, all changed after dx... i mentioned being excited about getting a scooter thru medicare and she asked me why. i just found out i have ms for sure yesterday, and when my father saw my swollen eyes, he asked me why i'd been crying. slowly, i said, "multiple sclerosis"

jeese. anyway, in a movie i love called "the hourse" the woman playing v. woolf said, "even crazy people like to be asked" when her sister attempted to excuse not asking her to a party.

i cannot do things other 20 somethings can.... but i still like to be asked.

i get it.

    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...
