Awwww, no, Laurie, there's no " quota " for posts, (smile)........especially when

they're yours, and you're passing along such helpful and timely information!

Don't ever stop. If your eyes need a break from reading, that's okay, but

otherwise, everything you say has been soaked up by some or all, and you

always have something stimulating to add to people's inquiries.

Re your cycle of good days vs. bad weeks, I'm glad that you ARE feeling

better right now and wish that your better days would outnumber the bad.

Unfortunately, that usually isn't the case with many of us and all you can do is

make the best of each good day as it comes. Although you can't " plan " for it,

you can certainly enjoy it while it's there.

I know there were so many times that I felt so wonderful and " normal " , again,

that I began to doubt even the most definitive positive diagnosis' of my CP.

As those good days would continue it was almost as though the bad times

were only a dream.....and then, BLAM!.....an attack would hit, knocking me

back to reality.

It was the knowledge that those good days were possible, and would happen,

that gave me the strength to keep going many times. And now, since my

burnout, the good days far outnumber the bad, and for that I'm most thankful.

Even with the phlethora of other medical problems that have accompanied

my disease, I am able to find comfort in the knowledge that there is always

something good coming.

Here's hoping that your good days are limitless and that you do keep reading!

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
