Hi all! I am a little down tonight as I feel like all my medical issues are just too much for me to manage, deal, cope and take care of. In fact, my MS along with several other autoimmune diseases make me feel like I am never really well.
I eat healthy balanced meals, with No gluten and very little dairy. I exercise regularly by walking 3-4 days a week and Pilates (2x/wk). With the better weather, I hope to be back on my bike soon too! If you were to look at me, you wouldn't "see" my health issues, but I feel them. (okay, maybe my menopause/rosacea ache looks worse than my teenage ache!LOL!). I don't drink or smoke and keep junk food to a minimum.
Don't get me wrong, I am so blessed with a good husband and fantastic and amazing daughters! And in the scheme of things, my plethora of health issues is NOT bad,....bad would be cancer or brain tumor...or other serious illness that people deal with. But sometimes....it just seems that my bucket of diseases can be more than I feel like I can handle. I worry frequently about becoming a burden on my family or wonder if I will be healthy enough to enjoy my girls in 10 years when my daughters are in college and are young adults.
Does anyone else feel this way too at times? Thanks for letting me share here...i am so glad to be able to come here and not feel so alone.
