Monday

I am feeling so overwhelmed by things right now, and not sure why. Time in the office is overwhelming because I have been out so long and then I am exhausted when I am home. My lower abdomen seems to be causing me more problems, especially later in the day so I really am doing very little in the afternoons and evenings it seems. Thinking more clearly also reveals all the things that I haven't done and activities I haven't enjoyed with my kids and the list goes on. I really work hard at just living moment by moment and day by day but the last couple days I have let myself get beyond that, which isn't a good thing. Sometimes I hope that I will wake up and this will just have been a bad dream.

Cindy,
Thinking of you today and praying that things will continue to get better for you. Try to take things one day at a time. I know that is hard. Enjoy your children, the work will get done some day but kids grow up so fast!
Praying for you today as you feel so overwhelmed. It is Tuesday and the the sun is shining!!!! That always helps. Love Nina

Cindy,

Try to sit on your deck today and just bask in the beautiful sun. Let it relax you a bit. I am praying for you today that those overwhelmed feelings will settle down. Maybe you need to stay away from the office for a few days if that is part of what is overwhelming you. I am praying that the true "sun" (SON) will give you strength and courage to face each new day. Know that so many think and pray for you daily.
I'm really looking forward to Saturday morning.

Mary

Cindy,

Very proud of your day to day drive. It may not seem like much to you, but you should be proud of yourself! Praying that the overwhelming feelings will subside, and you may find peace in your day to day activity.

Cindy,
One paper at a time! Hopefully we are not the cause of your being overwhelmed! Keeping you in our daily prayers. Still praying for an answer to the control of your headaches. Who knows, maybe this new doctor you found will have some great new ideas that will work better for you. Keep your faith and hope. Never give up! You can do all things in Christ who strengthens you!
God Bless~

Cindy -
Help!!! Just out of curiousity, what size was your ACM? My daughter has had several MRI's w+w/o contrast, and the NS says "no chiari." We just went to a neuro-opthamologist today, and she said that no PTC, yes "fibromyalgia & migraines." She's ordered a ton of lab work, and a Lumbar Puncture, EEG, sleep study... hopefully they can do this all soon. My daughter is almost 16 years old (July) - and the NOptham. today, basically said she "is depressed, has fibromyalgia, needs to go to school...needs to see a Psychiatrist...kids with cancer go to school..." -- She basically said that my daughter is depressed, has fibromyalgia, is in a vicious cycle of pain, headaches, depression...and all her burning nerve pain is in her head....
And the bright pink blotches all over that come and go, and the extreme temperature differences in these huge areas is a rash - an autoimmune thing--- but not RSD.
I've studied and researched RSD--
and all her symptoms fit....
Like-- my years of medical classes and psychology, abnormal psychology, sociology, kinesiology, mean nothing....
My daughter & I wanted to punch her! Please write me back. I check my e-mail several times daily...
Thanks. Janice in Michigan
