You'd think after 30+ years of living with MS, my emotions should have dealt with it -- right? -- WRONG!!! For years I seemed to have come to terms with it and accepted each new phase and loss. However, this past year or so the symptoms have progressed rapidly even while taking LDN, and I'm really having a rough time living with it.
It's become sooo difficult trying to stand with swollen legs/ankles/feet -- getting dressed is a nightmare -- everything I touch ends up on the floor -- bladder incontinence -- severe pain 24/7 -- spasticity -- freezing cold after eating -- and on and on. Often I'm saying to myself while in tears, "I don't want to do this anymore"! "What purpose is this disease serving?" There doesn't appear to be much quality of life left, being alone and housebound.
Usually whining isn't my "thing", but I just can't stand it!!!! Perhaps it's something to do with getting older and seeing so many years pass by with utter frustration. I do take 150 mg. Zoloft daily, but this isn't like regular depression. Does anyone else feel like this? Any suggestions for overcoming? My "head knowledge" is there, but my body doesn't agree.
HELP!! Thanks you guys..........foggy
