My chronic monsters have laster evey day wince 7/3/99. 51 medications have been tried. We just went the MRI/MRA/Doppler/Blood stuff all over again. These things are getting so bad that all I want to do is cry and catch sleep whenever I can for however long I can. My gag reflex is kicking in and making the pills hard to swallow (literally). I am seeing a counselor for the depression but even that is depressing most of the time. I just don't know what to do anymore - my husband barely speaks to me or he gripes and yells. I am so short tempered with my girls that it hurts me (the guilt) so much of the time its back to the depression again. Coping mechanisms are failing and I am going stark raving mad. My head hurts and I can't get it to stop and I am miserable!!! Is there anything ANYONE can do to help??
Thank you for enduring my pity party - sorry no goodie bags to take home. You're all so sweet to be there for each other.
