Thank you! Thank you!

I just wanted to send a seperate post for a big thank you to the MS  community here. You have shown me the

kindness and validation I never really had! I have been called crazy, a hypochondriac, a nutcase and even had one

nurse say I just wasnt motavated to walk ( went to ER cuz legs went completely numb and couldnt walk at all) and

that it was just depression. I have cried myself to sleep many times due to the bodily pain and the emotional pain. The

Doctor is now finally believing me and I have a community that doesnt shun me and supports me in reaching my

diagnosis. You all are very kind and dont know how you have touched this lonely heart. I told my husband I might as

well have leprosy or the black plague the way people treat me. Three years with no diagnosis is hard, you all have

made it easier! Thank you! I will continue to use this community and hope that I may help those on here as you have

helped me.       Love and gratitude,       Inny

I am not sure that I have spoken to you before but I loved your message and reach out to another lovely person who is very welcome to join us on this forum. Don't ever be lonely as there are many here who will make you feel not on your own.

Hi Inny,

No, no, no, please.  Thank you for validating us!  Hypochondriac?  Walking nut case?  Depressives?   We at this Forum are obviously walking DSM-IV's.  Just ask any neurologist wanna-be psychiatrist.

Medicine without compassion is a highly developed form of violence!!!!!!

As Shell said, Love and gratitude back to you

Inny, thanks for taking the time to let us know how this place has helped.  I like to think this is a very special community that is unmatched for its intelligence, compassion and objective viewpoints.

Take care and stay in touch, ok?

lots of hugs,
Lulu

Hi Inny,  I'm so glad that you feel at home here!!!  You will be an asset to our community.

There are many of us here that are still undiagnosed.  You are in good company and we know how horrible all this can be.  You now have us!!

If I ever come across the doc that said you were 'just depressed' I'll give him 'what for'.

(((HUGS)))   Red

My gosh Inny!!!!!

Love and gratitude back to you! I forget about what has happened to you along this journey but I'm so glad to know our community helped you along the way. Your right, not many understand this unless it happens to them. I'll go look for your post now to get to know you better.

(((hugs))) to you!
