Hi Vicki,
Got served divorce papers from my husband on Wednesday morning. I am devastated. I'm seriously at the end of my rope. I had been so worried about my dad for several weeks that I literally cried my self to sleep everynight and now this. I do see a psychiatrist and also counselor so don't suggest that. I am only holding on for my dad and children. Kim

Hi Vickim thank you for the message, not going very well...I had the visit with a specialist: he doesn't know what's wrong, he suspects something UMN related but he's not sure...I'm waiting for having some exams done in his clinic, they'll call me for a day hospital. I hope something will show up from these exams. How are you? hope everything well.

Nice pictures Vicki. Looks like you have a wonderful family.

Nice album.

You are so sweet to think of me Vicki...I am really touched! I love reading your posts and thank you for the encouragement to keep posting too...so appreciated! Jayne (caro) <3

Hi vicki,glad to have you as a friend.......honour is mine also.
No,you have never offended me,ottowa girl asked the same thing.
My last post was directed at Tnt and no one else.....will post and make that known. (((hugs))) caroline.

I'm glad to know you spent nice xmas holidays. I called the clinic, they said they're doing their best to give me an earlier appointment but I understand it's not easy couse is the best neurological institute of Italy. sending you hugs

Hi Vickim, holidays were fine even if my bad thoughts never leave my mind. Symptoms are getting worse, I have an appointment with a neuromuscolar specialist scheduled for March.....I'm trying to antedate it but it's hard. I'm still working as a nurse and it's becoming harder every day but I don't want to leave my job before having a diagnosis. My son ( he's 11) yesterday told me that he wants his happy and funnhy mum back and that he doesn't wanna see me crying anymore......obviously this made me cry a lot. I'm trying to be strong and happy and I'm hoping for something slow progression. What about you and your holidays?

Vicki - Christmas wasn't the best. Could have been worse. I worked Eve and Day, so I missed all the family fun. Mom and I celebrated today. It was bittersweet. She was diagnosed in St. Louis yesterday. It was a good day, just with a little more weight on our shoulders than usual. I'm still processing everything. I don't really know what to do right now. Thank you for thinking of me.

From what I understood, mito can affect any systems in the body, including the CNS. Still, I think mito and ALS are two unrelated diseases that can sometimes initially present with similar symptoms.

just snet you pm margaret x

Thank you vickim, I've really appreciated your words of encouragement

Thanks, Vicki. I think it would depend on how many times we would have to go back and forth. I'll let my mom know and maybe she can ask how long we would have to stay to do all they want to do.

We are about 2 hours away (so around the same as you).
