What's your experience with dialysis? Give & get support here

@feisty76. Ok. You brought tears to my eyes. Your kindness and not judging about how dangerous the drugs I take together are did it. I can’t get past what others think. I really have tried every “bad” drug for my conditions and either they did nothing or the side affects were too great. Even though my psychiatrist wasn’t particularly concerned about my infrequent but alarmingly worsening symptoms ( it took me a week to learn to read again after one seizure) I finally found a doctor willing to prescribe benzo’s responsibly. What a wonderful mom you must be to have fought the loan battle for your child. Kudo’s to you!! Jen

@bustrbrwn22, Glad I could offer a small support and encouragement, Jen. I have received so much help and learned so much from Connect members that I always feel as if i am always on the "receiving end" and at a woeful deficit at the "giving part" which is important in building strong relationships.
How terribly frightening it must have been for you to lose your ability to read following a seizure and what a determined warrior you must be to have regained that ability. Hope you'll talk yourself into believing what I read once that made me smile but is also true: "You wouldn't care so much about what others thought about you if you knew how seldom them did." A bit snarky, I admit but there's some solid truth to that philosophy...very big grin (vbg).
Best to you and all as we continue to learn and incorporate better ways of living this gift of life we have.
