G'day Janet, I think that most people can't comprehend that every tiny thing you do takes some consideration, even breathing sometimes. I don't think you could ever expect anyone not in a similar position to do so. I know pre TM, I would never have.
As for the "happy pills", I finally succumbed to them after about 2 years of TM, my doc insisted and I can assure you it did nothing for the pain but it did seem to give me some "giddyup", well as much as we can expect I suppose. hugs Gilly ----- Original Message ----- From: Janet Dunn To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Friday, November 21, 2008 11:00 AM Subject: FW: [TMIC] Anybody else been there? 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. And the snow - doesn't seem like much, but it sure adds to the discomfort. Right Neil? And as for the anti-depressants. Do they really work? Mine don't seem to be helping. Either that or I just need another vacation.

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. Once in awhile I retreat into my shell and hibernate, usually in the winter when the pain levels increase, and the family isn't really happy that I don't care to do much outside of the house. It's just not fun going shopping or visiting if you aren't comfortable or good company, and easier to be inside my warm cocoon. Take care all, and keep warm.
