Guest guest Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 This is my first time here in a chat room on the computer and it will be my first time since I have been diagnosed a year ago to know or talk to anyone with my same disease. I am so very excited on the one hand because I have felt so alone with this disease. On the other hand I feel so scared because it might be way to much reality for me. Anyways I have had symptoms for about seven years they were subtle and I didn't pay much attention to them until two years ago when my left side quit working. Then it took a year to get diagnosed with MSA. My MSA seems to have progressed very fast in the last two years and my doctor is so depressing because he gives me no hope to work with. I've dealt with a lot of losses in the last two years. I've went from a totally healthy 45 year old women to an old 95 year old woman in just two years. Actually some 95 year old women probably get around better than myself. The hardest thing for me is that I have to depend on others for so much. I feel like a burden sometimes to my husband and kids. I am very grateful for all the wonderful friends and the wonderful family I have. I could not handle this horrible cruel mean disease with out there love and support. I hope I'm not being way to dramatic but it does seem cruel at times to me and cruel to my family and friends who have to live with it. greercj __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
