I am starting to feel like I am working too hard for everything. Working at keeping friendships, Working at having my friends/family understand my pain, Working at holding onto my job.....you name it. I am defanately becoming more and more depressed daily and that is something I will bring up to my doctor next week but life shouldn't be this hard. I am not enjoying it thats for sure. Sorry, I am just becoming so frustrated more and more and I dont know what to do.

I feel ya, it is so depressing. I would also tell that doctor that those patches make you feel better, but they make you extremely tired. Maybe if he can get you on something to boost your energy then you might feel a little better!

I hope that you start feeling better soon. I'll be praying for you. I know it's so hard.

I too understand what you are going through. You know I quit working hard on certain parts of my life. I finaaly figured that if they were truley my friends then they would be there for me and go with me to docs to find out more about it or even go looking around on the inernet. Same with my family, I have a brother and his family that only live 6-7 miles from my home and I never see them. They do not believe that I have so much pain. Which is wierd because when I was pregnant and using a walker I stayed with them to be closer to the doctors, but then again I was babysitting their 2 daughters. Anyway, now if someone brings it up then they just chuckle and walk away. So I quit trying I see the family that is behind me and not the ones that are not. You can't fight this disease and fight everyone else. It is to stressful and it will only make you worse. One day hopefully they will come around and if they don't then maybe you are better off without them.

I hope that you can get to the point that you do not have to fight anymore. My prayers and thoughts will be with you.
