Re: Feeling like there is no future for me

Oh, I ache for you. My husband has not been unsupportive, but I've learned that talking about my struggles and showing them too much puts a wall between us because he feels helpless and can't do anything. He was the one telling me to just give it a year, but now that I'm past a year, and still struggling with symptoms of some neurological disease (I keep thinking of ALS, MS, and myasthenia gravis lately), he's "ready" for me to be well. I'm ready to be well too!!!!! But it's not like I'm trying to keep myself sick. I'm doing the best I can even if others feel that I'm "dragging" it out. It's the same with you. You're just doing the best you can, and that's all you can do. The horrible thing is that it can take so long for many of us to recover. And there are so many ups and downs. Next month might be much better for you. But there IS so much documented research on the effects of silicone reactions in women with implants. Didn't melanderso just post some links on this forum page? Maybe that would help the unbelievers who feel you are making it up? Most mainstream Drs. also agree that it can take YEARS to diagnose many autoimmune disorders. Have you have a blood test to check for ANAs? I think that the ONLY reason my Dr. doesn't think I'm crazy is that I DO have ANAs, even though the rest of my tests look normal.

Just keep reading this forum and posting, no matter how negative it is! We are all here.

Sorry to ramble so much,
Love,
Diana
