Hi @cindyrog. I'm so sorry to hear your story. I feel the same way, as you mention what you can't do and others older than you can. It is a bear of unacceptable for me. My muscles have weakened along with nerves dying off and I have lost a ton of independence. It is not easy to accept for anyone but I feel its even more difficult for ages that are younger. Simply put...we are NOT supposed to be here yet! My relatives, all in their 70's, for the most part are doing better than I , therefore I am blessed to have their support to drive me around to my appointments and shop for me etc... boy oh boy, does it piss me off, in all honesty.
So, now that I'm working real hard on acceptance...I'm finding the positive. What a great opportunity it had been to learn more about my 74 year old Uncle who survived Vietnam, as he carts me the therapy. Hey - otherwise the opportunity would not have presented. I know it's a sucky way to learn but, it is what it is and the harder I fight it, the worse my pain becomes.
I hope you keep fighting and working real hard to narrow down your diagnosis, treatment and acceptance.
All the best to you in your journey.
Be well - Rachel
@cindyrog....could your last name be Rogers? That is my before I married . Anyway.....I love your attitude. Like you, I have to have someone to drive me to appointments and order my groceries (gets quite expensive) but I have met so many awesome people because of this dependence. As you say, "it is what it is"! Keep up
the great attitude!!!
