Flori,

Please know that even though your children and probably lots of others around you don't understand the weight of this disease (how can those who haven't walked this path understand?), WE understand and you are not alone.

Maybe antidepressants might be worth a try again. They have helped me through rough patches on more than one occasion. Perhaps one you have not tried before would be effective.

You are one of the strongest survivors I know-you kick butt.

Keep on kicking.

Holding you in my thoughts and prayers and sending positive thoughts.
