Thanks hun. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Unfortunately I found another one of the potholes in that road last night. We didn't get to bed until around midnight, then she woke me up at 2am because she was hurling into a trashcan (that I keep next to the bed on her side just for that purpose). She had also messed up her side of the bed, so while she was in the bathroom cleaning herself up I got to get up to strip and clean the bed, put new sheets on, and start a load of laundry. Back to bed around 3:30 this morning, then the alarm goes off at 6am for me to get up and go to work... well, I'm here... just hope they don't really want me to do anything productive...
Thank ya, Brother. Very much appreciated! And yes, it is scary as hell... but it comes in spells. It's kinda like a really weird rollercoaster ride of emotions. I know one thing for sure... I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Not cancer, and not for them to have a loved one with cancer. Most people don't realize it, but being a caretaker is only a small step below actually having cancer yourself. At least for the ones who care...
Thank ya, Babes... you've been there for me for a while now, and I still appreciate it to this day! {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Sorry... runnin' outta words and need COFFEE!!
My SO was diagnosed with M.S. 3-1/2 years ago. It's definitely a roller coaster. There are plenty of good days, and a lot of "less-than-good" days. It's all about adjusting to the "new normal". And wishing you could take it all away....
Fly by good morning from a very busy court office!
Not the real intent of the songs meaning, but "Take it all away", struck a chord, and well, I love this song....
Uuugghhhh... yet another insidious disease with no 'good' treatment. You'd think with all of the technology and money that we pump into research in this country that they'd be farther along in coming up with viable treatments for these things. I'm sorry to hear about y'all's struggle, Darlin'... but you are absolutely right. All we can really do is adjust to the "new normal" and keep going as best we can. Unfortunately the laws of the universe just won't allow us to just magically make it all go away, or even to share the true burden that our loved ones face... I would gladly trade places with her, just so that she wouldn't have to suffer through the sickness herself.
Sorry 'bout the drama, luv... maybe I should track that thread down and do a l'il regulatin'...

I've had MS for over 20 years. A roller coaster ride, for sure. And sometimes, you don't even know if your symptoms are from MS or some other problem. And since you can't take it away, you just gotta accept it and do the best you can each and every day.
WORD!
I've come across a number of members here who have MS. Spot on about whether it's the MS or something else causing that day's yuk....
Hai KAT!! How ya been, Darlin'? Haven't seen much of you lately... prolly cuz I been hangin' out in unusual places...
Good to see ya, though. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

(((HUGS))) right back atcha, Kaezziel. I'm doing ok. How about you and yours?
Been a rough couple 'o days... then she goes back in for chemo this Friday. Her best friend is going to start stepping up and taking her to half of her treatments so that I don't have to take so much time off work, and it'll give them a chance to spend more time together. She moved to the complete other side of town and is now like an hour and a half away, so they don't get to see each other very often. As for me, I'm currently exhausted, but I'll just suck it up and do what I gotta do. Hard part is doin' it with a smile...

Oh, so sorry, Honey. Last I heard, she was doing well.....this really sucks!

Yeah, not sure what's going on... she's not usually nauseated at this point in the treatment cycle. I think she needs to add the latest nausea medication into the rotation now, something called Marinol (I think) The pharmacist said that it's supposed to work really well...
