If only, if only...1) Meds prescribed helped and didn't do another type of harm
2) Meds did not have awful side effects that somehow made you wonder if the cure was worse than the ailment (hmm, that might be the same thing)
3) Life were "fair". Whatever THAT means.
4) People could understand that when you break down and cry over stupid things, it's not the stupid thing you are crying over.
5) When the storms come, you try and remember it is temporary. Even though that storm can do a lot of damage at the time, it helps to remember that "This too shall pass."
6) You can keep in mind that there are many who are worse off than you. It is NOT all about you.
7) The pain would go away.
8) You can remain upbeat in spite of the pain that won't go away.
10) Those idiot brain doctors would read their journals so they could keep up with disorders that were identified nearly 100 years ago even if they are "rare". Think outside the box, Dox. (Especially the rheumatologist who should have known better back in 2003 when my symptoms were so horrible, and it was the perfect storm of symptoms that looking back, should have been identified.)
Can I come celebrate at your pity party?? I'm trying to make you smile! You are in my prayers as you know. I am not writing names as you want to protect everyone... but I am grannie! You know who I am. What can I do for you??? please let me know. I feel very helpless knowing my friend is suffering so. I really wish your dr. had figured htis out when it started in 2003. Has it been that long??? Remember you are a strong woman and you have God on your side.
