Hi Kathy,

It is so hard sometimes, isn't it? I've had that same kind of feeling for weeks...a month or more. Weepy, hopeless, isolated..etc... It comes in waves for me. For awhile I'll be feeling somewhat better if I'm resting most of the time and being extremely careful about what I eat. Then something triggers a strong flare up and I'm right back where I started both physically and emotionally. Sometimes it feels like my family, friends and co-workers are going about their cheery way having no clue of my misery. But then I also know that I try to keep it to myself more thinking that they must be exhausted and wore out just hearing about it so I clam up. Then the low times really kick in. It is great to have this forum where we can be open, share ups and downs and just "be", however that is for that particular day. When some of us are down our friends in the group pick us up....then when the coin is flipped...we'll take our cheerleading turn. That's true understanding!

With smiles, Verna
