Hi everyone, My name is Margaret A. Cote. I have been having MS symptoms for about 23 years. It in just the last 3 to 4 years that I have started to put all the symptoms together. What got me to thinking about the symptoms was a science project that my son was doing. He was doing a project on a current event that was effecting people. He chose to research MS. We found an article about finding the gene that may cause MS in some people. He looked at the article and said that looks like what has been going on with me. I am now fighting with doctors to get a different dx. I have enjoyed reading all of

the post on the site. I am learning so much about the different symptoms that can happen with this disease.Margaret A. Cote

Hi Sharon,

My son is 15 years old. He was 11 or 12 years old when he started the

project. Yes I am glad that he did that project. It was quite a neat project for

him. He would say to me that it was exactly what I was going threw.

Some of the symptoms I have been having is muscle weakness, spasms, being

very tried, balance issues, depression and the migraines.

I have been currently diagnosed with migraines and vertigo. It is a

diagnosis that I feel is not totally correct. I feel that they are missing some

of the symptoms that I have told them that is happening.

In terms of the process of dating a bpd person it sounds identical to my

brother, my bpd ex-SIL absolutely ruined his life. And I am watching another

brother whose wife is in the process of ruining his life and the lives of his

children as well. Both are prototypical dishrag dads.

No there is no reasoning with them because of the trauma or whatever that is

inside them that is either pre-verbal or subconscious that they are casting off

or projecting has to be gotten out at any cost, and it's not about logic. Words

are the weapon just like you use a gun to shoot people. But you wouldn't shoot

in the first place if you didn't have the impetus and emotions in you already

leading you to pull the trigger. That 'ick' that never goes away has to be

gotten out or discharged. I think their core identity is shame. And it seems to

not be fixable for most of them.

Hi, AJ -

Girlscout has given you great advice, and I don't think any of us would argue

with anything she's told you. I just wanted to add that a LOT of what you're

describing has happened to us, too -

- nobody outside the family knows

- rages and verbal abuse

- kids growing up with negative self-esteem and depression, etc.

- Mom seems to get worse with age

- some siblings get out, some get stuck

- Mom spends herself into penury, and just won't stop

- the hoarding that gets worse with age and becomes a health hazard

This sounds like a description of my mom. So - the good news is that it is NOT

YOU, and you're NOT ALONE in this. It has a name, you have support, we believe

you.

Bad news? Well, BPD people rarely believe that they have BPD, or any problem at

all, because they can rationalize anything and make it somebody else's fault

(usually ours). So as Girlscout said -

You cannot fix her - and at this point, she's probably not going to get fixed by

seeking treatment for herself.

You can only fix yourself and protect yourself from her behavior. You can help

your younger sister figure out a way to get out of there and go to school, so

she stands a decent chance of having a normal adult life. The fact that your

mom is old, or pitiful, or broke, or crazy - is not reason enough to stay and

keep trying to fill in a bottomless pit. Get out, get out, get out, and figure

a way to stay gone. You will have to involve mental health professionals or

health care pro's or social workers to get any help for your mom. You may have

to begin the process of having her declared incompetent. It's almost certain

that she will drain your bank account and expect you to pay her bills if you

allow it, so you and your sisters should start NOW to present a united front and

be ready with a plan to either have her committed, or walk away and let her live

as she likes, on her own dime. The more you know about this insidious mental

illness, the better you can preserve your own mental health. But it's not easy,

and you will fight " good child's guilt " every step of the way.

I wish there was something we could do for our parents. But I can tell you -

it's such a relief to know that what my Mom does and thinks is NOT my fault OR

my problem.

Welcome - feel free to vent any time.

hello folks

just thought i would introduce myself. I'm and am diabetic 24 years, i

have diabetic

retinopathy sight loss which occurred 7 years ago. i live in Ireland. to be

honest i spent most of my diabetic years thinking i knew it all and only since i

lost my sight have i taken more of an interest in looking after myself. i have

been looking at this carb counting that you all have been talking about and by

god it seems like hard work but im willing to give it a try. it's great that

there is a list for blind, diabetics to chat and share information as i find

talking to each other is sometimes better than sitting with a doctor or

dietitian for a half hour. i hope to learn allot from this list and hope to

give as much back in return. that's me for now, many thanks.

vincent i am a type one for forty four years. dont feel bad most of us made our

mistakes by thinking we knew it all and did it our way. but there is still hope.

i learned more since i have been blind the last nine years . carb counting is

very valuable information. remember it is what you eat, excercise and

medication. that never changes. good luck with it all. karen from canada

Welcome to our friendly list. I have been diabetic (type 1) for 67

years. (no kidding) I lost my vision due to diabetic retinopathy 34 plus

years a go. I also have a number of other complications, but still am

running around with my guide dog, going to classes at The Braille Institute

in L.A. and am involved with a couple of blind organizations. Blindness

does not have to make you leave life behind. You are using a computer, I

see. Is it a talking one?

have been talking about and by god it seems like hard work but im willing to

give it a try. it's great that there is a list for blind, diabetics to chat

and share information as i find talking to each other is sometimes better

than sitting with a doctor or dietitian for a half hour. i hope to learn

allot from this list and hope to give as much back in return. that's me for

now, many thanks.

regards

hello

nice to hear from you. yes its a computer with jaws im using. all i can say is

thank god for technology these days. i haven't let this blindness hold me back

at all. i have completed a number of computer courses and qualified as a

hypnotherapist last February, all this since i lost my sight. going back to

study is something i thought i would never have to do once i left school. two

months ago i applied for a guide dog so when i get one there will be nothing

stopping me. as i always said " life goes on " . i hope im not rambling on this

list.

regards
