    Because life doesn't care that I have MS

    This is more of a vent or an outlet for my frustration. In the midst of the worst flare I've ever had, my dad has passed away.
    I've spent the last 5 weeks literally bedridden with vertigo and unable to walk. I had to constantly remind myself that this will pass, I just needed to focus on resting and healing. And then this.

    My dad had his own serious health issues and suffered cardiac arrest after having surgery. Although he was sick, we did not expect this.

    So here I sit, trying to focus all my energy on my well being and I get slammed. I know there is never a "good" time to have a flare or to lose a parent, but this is probably the worst time for me.
    I am on the verge of recovering thanks to a massive dose of prednisone, but my heart is just beginning to start the healing process.

    Life can be so cruel sometimes.

      Gypsy,

      I'm so sorry. No words will change what you have to deal with but my heart goes out to you and I hope you feel better soon and remember all the good things about your dad.

          Hi Gypsy, sorry for the loss of your father. I lost mine last year, so I completely understand what your feeling as it's still pretty fresh in my mind. All I can say is that time will help.

          Stress is very hard on us with ms. Hopefully your flare will subside soon. I agree- life can be cruel.

                  I'm so sorry for the loss of your Dad. He'll always be with you though as i'm sure you know.

                  I hope your flare up subsides in time, try some meditation work may help heal you also. (((hugs))))

                  Sparky excellent point.

                      My condolences on losing your father. I know what it's like to lose a parent, and there's only one this I can say: You'll never stop missing him, but in time the good memories will be stronger than the pain you carry. I've just reached that point 3 years after losing my mom.

                        I am so very sorry to hear you lost your Dad, I am sending thoughts and prayers your way. It hurts so badly in the begining you think you'll never stop feeling that pain so deeply. I hope you start to heal from this exacerbation so that you can deal with your grief as well.
