Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:29:13 +0000 http://www.multitaskingmama.com/?p=415#comment-2610 I had no idea about this awareness week, and while I do not suffer directly, I do suffer indirectly. My husband was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis almost 6 years ago, and he is constantly fatigued, swollen, or achy and in pain. It is so hard to sit by and watch him, knowing there isn't anything I can do for him, but to just "be" there. It breaks my heart. I wish nothing but the best for you! Take care!

I have a tough time walking,a failed fussion on my back. I suffer everyday in pain. I am still in my 40's. I also got so upset when my second son passed that I had a heart attack. I don't have high blood pressure or any problems that I thought I would have one.It was from a broken heart. So when I park I do get issues,I had someone block so I couldn't park,yelling that its for handicapped people. I really don't know why people do this.Its sad because I have to wait for a good day to go out and I am the type of person that I am embaressed about being not able move the way I should.

With Fibro, my most frustrating symptom is often the fatigue as well. I like that sentence showing the difference between us and well people. When my husband complains of being overly tired I want to smack him upside the head! ;) I don't know first-hand yet the parking issue, but I've often wished I had the guts to get a handicap parking sticker so I could do it when it's really bad. Usually I just push through it and fall apart at home *sigh* which can be pretty bad. Oh the degrees we go to sometimes just to feel or look a bit of "normal" when were at our worst mentally. {{{gentle hugs}}} Thanks for sharing this info about yourself and shedding some light on MS.

My naturopath mentioned that a vegetarian diet might be beneficial because meat, particularly red meat, contributes to inflammation. I haven't been brave enough to try it yet ;) Hey Connie!
