    If this is all in my head, like everyone tells me, does that mean you’re all in my head too? ;o)

    I don’t know how I found this site but I’m gonna be reading up for the next week or so. It’s like sinking into a perfectly hot bath after a good workout. Not that I can work out anymore. Or have the energy to take a bath..

    How sad that I got excited reading people write about their suffering, doctor insanity, failing bodies, strange progressive symptoms… I should feel bad but OMG I’m not alone and crazy all of a sudden!

    “It’s all in your head” they say.
    I say – “so then SCAN IT! Let’s have a look!”

    Hasn’t worked yet. Sigh. My COBRA’s up mid-May and if my brain doesn’t start working by then, I’ll be one step away from the fast track to foreclosure. At least it will be warmer when I’m out looking for new residence under a bridge somewhere. Oh and I loved the state tax penality surprise I got last night, for being unemployed in 2014. :-/ It’s all coming to a head, the perfect storm of total loss.

    Anyway, wishing everyone inner peace and medical knowledge. Glad I tumbled upon this forum.
    K, off to read now!

    Hi! I’m glad that you found this site! I felt the same way as you about finding others who are as miserable as me. It doesn’t sound like that shows that I am a very nice person but I think just about anyone else going through what we do feels the same way. I don’t want anyone else to suffer, well, including me, but sense I am and all of us here are to then Thank Goodness we have found each other.

    I am sorry that you are facing insurance and money difficulties, the added stress does not help you feel better at all. If you can just remember during this time to take some “you” time and rest as much as possible hopefully that will help you a little bit with the stress level.

    Happy reading and be sure and post any questions that you have. I find such great answers here!!

    Blessings!

    Lol. That’s funny.
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
    Thank y’all.
    I would never wish the pain I have on anyone.
    Yet it was nice to find a group that made me feel like this wasn’t all in my head.

    Blessings to all.

    I second that, thanks for making me smile Mycosis Psychosis! I know the feeling well, you just think ‘Well I’m at rock bottom now, things can only get better’ – then some more S*!t hits the fan!

    I remember well the ‘Eureka moment’ that I had when I stumbled on Dr Diana’s video a few years ago, several pieces of the jigsaw found all at once, marvellous – such a relief!
