Okay - first take a big deep breath and then and let it out slowly! :) We all understand your frustration and your need to vent and there's lots of willing listeners out here to hear you and to offer support and help.

Frankly, I can't imagine how the supporters survive watching any of us take the hit. You guys deserve a lot of admiration for being able to do it. I'm not so sure I could be a supporter. We're mostly a pretty scary bunch to witness, I expect.

Feel free to vent, moan, bitch, rant and rave in whatever order helps you to get to where you need to be.

Just know that you're truly not alone out there.

Hey Snook - there's no better place to vent than here. We're all allowed, and that certainly includes supporters!

It's a HELL of a syndrome ... disease ...whatever you choose to call it for both the sufferer and those who love him/her.

Don't give up hope that a decent treatment regimine will come together for your hubby. It just might take a little time to find the right combo.

I know that probably doesn't give much comfort, but it's all most of us can hope for - at least until that perfect pill comes along to cure us.

Hang in there! If you need us, we're here. There's also a great PM system - use it. Get a phone number and call someone. Or just come on the board and vent. We KNOW!

Many Hugs,

Kris

That is so true. When my brain aneurysm burst and I was laying on my deathbed, one of the first things I managed to mutter to my loved ones in my morphine induced state was "Whoa- I'm glad I'm the one who's sick...I wouldn't want to be standing there looking at any of you." Supporters have a harder job then we do I think. At least we get all the sympathy. Thank you snook for being a good supporter. Hang in there... this thing doesn't kill us, although all of us, at some time, probably wished it would. Hugs and vibes to both of you.
