Her struggles continue. A prayer list is a great idea!<BR/><BR/>Raymond Pert, Thank you for the perspective! It helps to hear from someone else who's dealing with healh issues. <BR/><BR/>Many people tell me not to talk about the MS, but that just isn't me. The pity party comment was for those friends; to help with their understanding. <BR/><BR/>I love what you said about depression. I have been there and was told to just "look on the sunny side". In fact, depression is one of the most common side effects of MS meds. It's a brain chemistry problem, not a glass half empty problem!<BR/><BR/>And, you don't have to quit yackin when you've got such helpful things to say! <BR/><BR/>And you were just blunt enough!<BR/>Thanks!Nita Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763053063410716010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254366391641571458.post-57964669914791348422008-08-24T20:55:00.000-06:002008-08-24T20:55:00.000-06:00I'm not bossy very often.From this point forward, ...I'm not bossy very often.<BR/><BR/>From this point forward, you are forbidden from using the phrase "pity pary" (or its ugly cousin "whine") if all you are doing is documenting the straight facts about your MS. <BR/><BR/>When you write what's going on it helps your friends pinpoint their prayers.<BR/><BR/>It also helps those who know you, whether in person or virtually, to understand the facts of your life.<BR/><BR/>I write about my health sometimes. I don't want anyone's pity. I just want friends and family to know what's happening.<BR/><BR/>OK?<BR/><BR/>You know, the other thing that's good about you writing about your struggles with MS is that it helps people who read your blog understand more about MS.<BR/><BR/>I feel that way when I write about depression and kidney disease and the meningitis I survived. Esp. when it comes to depression, I want my readers to understand that depression's not just about being bummed out. <BR/><BR/>"When's that guy gonna quit yackin'?"<BR/><BR/>Right now!<BR/><BR/>Hope I wasn't too blunt.raymond perthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07016246118115516015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254366391641571458.post-91769942096291806722008-08-18T10:38:00.000-06:002008-08-18T10:38:00.000-06:00Nita Jo you are a blessing! What a sweet post, as ...Nita Jo you are a blessing! What a sweet post, as you point to the Lord even in your brokenness. "A bruised reed he will not break and a smoldering wick he will not put out."<BR/>I will be praying for you as you continue to serve Him by serving others, remembering that He promises that,"in our weaknesses, He is strong." Also will pray for your cousin Sally. I think we need to start a prayer list on Faith Folk so we can see it easily, in the sidebar.<BR/>We've linked your site to Faith Folk.<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>PamPam Mattick Art and Stuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14513751152042997826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254366391641571458.post-397419668507214062008-08-16T19:09:00.000-06:002008-08-16T19:09:00.000-06:00Laura & Donna, Thanks for your prayers and con...Laura & Donna, Thanks for your prayers and concern.
