Hey Darlene,
I'd like to second what Cindy said and add that you have every right to complain. You have MS, you're in pain; don't beat yourself up about expressing how you are feeling. You are being honest with yourself and others you tell when you let us in. What you are going through is pushing the limits of what you can tolerate. That's importent for other people to know. It's helps them understand better why you are the way you are today. No one is going to blame you for it. If you are in a bad mood, tell people. I think most people are more forgiving than we sometimes imagine they are. If you are in pain and it's affecting your life, tell people. Maybe they can help you get through your day. You don't have to feel bad for complaining at all as you are well within ligimate boundry. You have what you have and are feeling what you are feeling.
That being said, generally speaking, one should feel better after a treament and you are saying that isn't the case. That is terrible news. I wish you were feeling better and not experiencing any pain. I can tell you are well experienced in living with MS from what you are saying. And I know you are in the dark tunnel now, where you can't see the beginning nor the end light of the dark pathway of symptoms. And I know you know yourself that nothing is perminent. Including the good times not just the bad. It's hard to find comfort when our symptoms are cronic and nothing seems to help.
But you can take comfort that you are doing things right: expressing yourself, taking care of yourself, you know how to handle your symptoms, meeting with your doctors, etc... Perhaps you just need a little encouragement today and some affirmation that you are doing a good job! Some of the bravest people I know are MS patients. Knowing there is no cure and what this disease can do, I find it amazing that so many of us find it inside to keep living our lives and never giving up that hope. It's inspirational and uplifting to know people like you are out there!
I hope for you an end, so very soon, to the way you are feeling and suffering ! Until then, keep doing what you are doing. You are doing great!!
All the best,
Doug.
