How do you get out of your own head? I was diagnosed a year ago and no longer walk...now I'm losing my left arm strength and assume my right will be going soon. For the most part I have been positive but I can't seem to shake the anxiety/fear/frustration etc.
I am 50 and single and have moved in with my brother, sister-in-law and nephews. They wanted me here and I have a beautiful room and we built an accessible bathroom...but I can't seem to get past the sadness right now. No matter what I feel like I am a burden.
They both work full-time and help me a lot but as I begin to lose my arm strength I am unable to do for myself things I could do just 4-5 months ago.
You think I would be grateful and happy but I just feel so sad...
I take an anti-depressant and it has helped...also it's winter...blah....
My friend wants me to go with her to Arizona in Feb...I think it would be good to go...
Also - anyone take Rilutek? Anyone else think it's a waste of money?
