Re: MD

  • aw, thanks for asking. today was a little better. waking up and sort of realizing it all again was not fun. i went to yoga and cried through savasana. this afternoon i just worked. h decided he wanted to go to the party tonight which i was so glad about. we really needed the levity. i am still not eating much and i am shocked how super out of it i am. like at yoga i realized instead of hanging my coat on the coat rack i found it hanging on a hook where they keep straps across the room which was so odd. and i totally missed our exit tonight on our way home because i was just so completely out of it. it's like you are there but you are not.

    regarding the guilt, i am doing a little better with that. i am trying to focus on all we did give to her in her life which was a lot given the fact that we already had three and were maxed out on cats. but she was our foster who no one wanted to adopt so after a year they tell you to either give them back to the shelter and possible euthansia or adopt them yourself and obviously we chose the latter.

    anyway thanks for letting me prattle on. any new news on the health front?

  • Prattle away! It's a hard time, and I'm around if you ever want to talk or cry. I know you have me on FB too, and I'm almost always on the darn thing. I'm happy to hear that you went to the party last night. Getting out is good, allbeit difficult. I didn't leave the apartment for a week after Murphy passed. And keep up with the yoga.. it'll help you find your center again. I definitely know the feeling of being out of it. You'll start to regulate in a few days. I do things like hang my coat in bizaare places, or forget/lose my shoes, and forget about locking the door on a regular basis. I'm a classic space case though.

    Just love as much as you can on your other kitties.. it's probably hard for them as well.

    As for my health, I decided to put everything off until after Monday. I'm in good enough spirits, and have myself centered with everything. I hope to find a doctor that will work with me without the use of pharmacuticals. I really want to go the natural route, since I have my doubts about maintenance drugs. I'm amazed by how little is really known about this disease.

  • thanks again. i will certainly write you via FB if need be. i was actually going to ask you something earlier this week via FB and of course go sidetracked. but anyway, it does really help to have the support of everyone who has been through it. it's just such a shock.

    so is it definitive that you have MS? or is that what you'll start working on on Monday? and agreed, i think a combo of a western and eastern approach is always the best scenario for any illness. i am just so sorry you are having to deal with that.

  • I haven't gotten it confirmed by a specialist yet.. but the neurologist is positive it is. Truth be told, my symptoms add up too much to be much of anything else. If anything, I'm in the early stages since there are no dark lesions on my brain. I think the fact that it's considered and incurable disease is what got to me more than anything. Just the sound of it is terrifying. I don't have support from my family much.. they're all in denial. And oddly pist off about it. It will be what it will be.. and if it ain't gonna kill me, I guess I can deal :)
  • wow, i'm so sorry. i was hoping when you said your friend had looked at the records that perhaps there had been a mistake. i'm glad it was caught in the early stage. i really hope your family comes around. you are taking it very well.

    If I don't take it in stride, I'll be completely lost. Trust me, it's mostly a front, but if I dwell on hope or what it is, I'll be lost into depression, and I refuse to ever go back on those meds. It's easier to take the "c'est la vie" approach
