There is a club that I became an unwilling member of...

When people attain chronic illnesses mysteriously persons of interest come out of the woodwork with comments of trying hard to cheer you up with telling you that things will get better... These mean well doers of all that is right with the world, I call Pollyanna's. That Disney young gal with her idealism running rampant all through those early 1960's, ya know? Most would say that's wonderful!

But for me, the worst are the ones with your same ailment not giving you a break by insisting that you STAY POSITIVE! Et tu brute????Where's our outlet?


I guess in a one dimensional way, yep, no harm no foul, hmm?
Nope, I beg to differ with any or all of you!
We need time to be real and honest and complain and be unhappy!
Sadly all these forums have given up the allowance of what many would euphemistically call the, dare I say, "PITY PARTY", we need time to reflect with commonalities realized.

Personally, I don't trust those always HAPPY types, ya know what I mean?   
And any sane person will attest to that!
Being pleasant is not a crime, per se...just listen at times is better than bullying someone into feeling guilty that due to their current pain are not feeling HAPPY, get it?????

I bet all of you know what set me off, no?
Someone I don't know at all told me to be more positive!
Well, today, and last night I had to wear my cervical collar and put on hand brace and continue with my moist heat for my herniated disc and then my eye pain in both eyes caused me to need to use the heavy duty salve and my head started to hurt as well and wouldn't allow me to even lie down! Not to mention having to spend our little nest egg saved to replace our 12 year old car, on broken appliances and most recently $622 to clean the pipes of our air-conditioner, no parts! Now our soggy rug caused by the problem appears to not be cleanable and will have to be replaced!

Sure we are alive, and have a roof over our heads, and food in our bellies and for that I am grateful, but with Multiple Sclerosis and seven types of arthritis... please understand and allow for some days anyone of us telling how miserable we really are...I will lend an ear for you too! True friends take the good with the bad, so yep strangers I suppose I should let what they say go?

On that note I truly hope that you had a  wonderful Christmas and each day is better than your last, but if not, feel free to vent here where true understanding looms large!
