Now they think it is MS because I have nerve damage in
my legs. I am having a really rough time. I have
secondary addison's disease & just had an emergency
appendectomy last week. I really feel like I am going
nuts somedays because I am so tired & can't get help
from anyone at home so my house is trashed. And I just
want things to get easier for a change!!
Thank you for your email. It really helps to talk to
other people going through similiar things. My life is
really stressful which I think is making everything
worse, but there isn't really anything I can do about
it.
Take care,
Kat
