This is what I try to remember too. Even though I am diagnosed, I remind myself that there are people much worse off than me.
You are so right, Doc. Well said!

AMEN!!
I sometimes feel to all alone (woes me) I will even give myself a little pity party but I think that's okay for all of us to do once in a while. We know there are those a lot worse off than ourselves, but we are still not healthy and if we want to feel sorry for ourselves than go right ahead.
Remember that a little self pity is good for you but a lot of it will drag you into a hole that is hard to get out of.
I'll be praying,

Very well stated, everyone. One good thing about our illnesses is that is has brought so many wonderful people together. And when someone even expresses this forum to a neurologist, perhaps it will open at least one health-care provider's eyes and cause a change of attitude. That can do so much for so many people.
Yes, united we philosophically stand.
Have a good holiday season, everyone!
I agree. I have been feeling pretty good the last week and 1/2 & I almost feel guilty! I am afraid to enjoy for fear of getting bad again. It feels sooo good to feel good. I still don't feel like the old me, but it is definately better. When I am feeling sick and bad, I get soooo depressed.....I have so much respect for all of you and fighting the battles you do. You have all lifted me up when I was down and I hope I can do the same for you. Be thankful and strong! Love to you all, Terrie
Oh honey, if you are feeling good.... REJOICE!!!!!! ENJOY!!!!!
I know you are fearful that your "bad days" will return, but when you are feeling so well, you HAVE to go for it. It's what life is all about. Something like the old saying, "We can't know joy, unless we have known sorrow." So go for the gold. Celebrate those 'good days.'
We rejoice with you sweetie and are SO glad that you are feeling well. You're never alone, so don't sweat the bad days...cause we will be there with you.
I, too, am thankful for all the forum's "Angels with Invisible Wings." And that my friends, is all of you..... You lift ME up everyday, just by your caring and compassion for others. This just has to be one of the greatest forum's on the Internet. Bar none!
Be well honey and enjoy!
Heather
You are so sweet I want to cry. Thank you for your wonderful words and kind heart. You are also one of those angels that I turn to so often for support. My love goes out to you and all of the rest.....Terrie
I hope we all have a great day!!!!!!!
