Don't you dare give up!
I've had 2-5 HAs a day since Aug of 97 and NOTHING worked to ease them. Last Oct I had to quit even going to the office (I'm an accountant with my own practice - and a wonderful partner who has kept the business going). Last month I had a surgery that has stopped the HAs, but it's a LAST resort. If your HAs don't stop soon, e-mail me and I'll give you all the stuff on the surgery.
My husband had two strokes two years ago, so our plans for the future went a little crazy too. He still can't understand about my HAs. So when you think your problems are insurmountable, look around. There are a lot worse cases out there.
I've thought several times about stopping the world, but then I thought about all the things I needed to get done before I did. I learned to believe in reincarnation - there's no way I could have gotten this far behind in one lifetime.
Think about your kids. They need you more now than they ever will.
Good luck and stay strong.
