Re: Need some perspective, please
Flori, I can so relate to how you are feeling...I agree with Pink find someone in your medical team and just scream HELP!! I did and I am so glad that I did. You have been through so much it has to take it's toll. We are so hard on ourselves somehow thinking that we don't have the right or privilge to be sick and tired of being sick and tired. Wish I could say more that would help but I too am sending you BIG HUGS and hoping you find comfort and relief.
Patricia
