Q: emotional week

I have to apologize. I feel; like such a cry baby. I'm so tired and maybe a little depressed. the pain I feel in my legs arms and neck have intensified this week, maybe it is because we are not at home on our usual routine. i don't know anymore. Like I said before, i apologize. I seem to need answers more than usual this week.I'm very tired and "down" Everything hurts more, it;a almost as though the meds aren't working and I'm sure that;s not true, how can they work one week and not the next? so,  it must be me. My question? I don't know, what to ask, I"m so confused.  my appt. is scheduled  for Aug 4th. with the neurologist, I'm hopeful for answers, but what should I ask, and what should I expect? How should I prepare myself for the best and most conclusive/informitive  appointment possible?

Hi Constant, I truly understant just how you feel.  With along with MS you get a bag full of mess that is why it is called MS (not really Wink)  This illness affect everyone so differently it can be gentle in some and so extreme in others.  Never apologize for how you feel or for crying it is just the nature of the beast.  Sometimes it comes with depression, you may want to speak with your doctore about that maybe something low dose for those times when it decides to creep up, and those little aches and pains, he can give you something for that also.  But it is just the nature of the beast nothing new is wrong, when I was first DX I had no pain, now my knees and legs hurt 24/7 I choose not to take any pain meds, but that is my choice, I have a high tolerence for pain, or I am just crazy one, probably just crazyUndecided.  It is all right to cry, if everyone did it every now and then, can you imagne just how less stressful we all would be!  There is no shame in my game.  My husband and I was going to the mall on Friday, I let go of a few tears on the way, his remark was, "getting rid of some of that stress?"  I said yep, then I was all right the remainder of the day, he understands.  No biggie.  Constant, Have a good one, and smile, you will be fine  sherry/smomdukesKiss
