Jeanne, I took a lot of
convincing to take the anti depressants and only did because I've known my
doctor for many many years.
I'm so pleased he convinced

Gilly,
Very well put. I know that I now live a 'new normal'. I have had to let go of

You have found the secret to continuing to live! and in a manner that makes

Most of all you've learned to accept those things we cannot change!

Let's all have a very, very Happy Thanksgivingand be just that...THANKFUL!!!

Your description of your family carrying you through the sand made me laugh so

I am happy to have people that understand what it is like to be in pain 24/7.
And now, with the winter setting in, just walking in the cold is hard enough,
never mind the winter boots and the weight they add

Hello All,
Don't we remember how much it hurts to stub one's toe? I do...it hurts like
hell for a few minutes. And, no...on the scale of TM, a stubbed toe is
nothing, but for those few minutes it is something to the person it happens
to.

Ahhh Rob, I hear you, as they say in the classics! I feel it so hard to be
empathetic these days when someone (usually Trev) complains of minor
ailments. I also get people coming to me to explain all their woes and I'm
just so over it!
I have noticed
First off, Jude suffers so much and what she wrote is so selfLESS. She is
always thinking of someone else. We love you Jude!
As a caregiver I will put my 2 cents in. I SO sympathize with the daily
pain that goes with TM. I KNOW, but I don't FEEL the pain. I know it because

Gilly,
No need to apologize or even explain!! I bet if truth be known, each of us has
at LEAST one in-law (or out-law) who must tell each breath they take and the
pain it causes them...am also certain they have no idea what a
pain!! they are.
Venting is allowed here!
Oh, Gilly, I don't think you upset anyone -- I think we've all been having a
great conversation seeing things from both sides.
We have a relative like that, too -- it IS always about her (in her mind),
no matter what else is going on with anyone else. When someone in her family

I totally agree with all the comments. I also know that if we didn't have
this list to be able to communicate with about our feelings and vent
occasionally, we would be a lot harder to live with, and not as well off
mentally.
Then again, my anti-depressants help a lot too, lol.
