So upset! Really need a hug

New diagnosis and before diagnosis
21

Thanks guys.

Symptoms are a bit all over the place at the mo. My L arms feeling a bit weak and pins and needles and numbness in it since my thumb began jerking on sunday. Lips gone numb as well as my leg again like my first epsiode too :frowning: Its manageable just annoying with my arm as my fingers feel abit all over the place like as if I don’t have good fine motor control or they’re internally unsteady but I can’t see a tremor when I look at them.

Going to go yoga to have some me time. Just trying not to stress myself too much about it - don’t want my health going out the window. Have to speak to my parents later as my mum was having some blood tests as she was wrongly diagnosed with ?arthritis and its only transpired now its not (I know). So I want to hear what the GP said as he sent her for some blood tests. Hopefully its not going to be touch much of an ordeal don’t think I can handle another dollop of guilt trip right now. But want to know she’s alright.

Its crazy how sometimes other people are their for you more than your actual family. Every time I read your guys comments I feel like crying - I’m sad reading what my parents have been doing but also happy that there are so many people that have been here to show there support.So thank you so much.

Hi Reemz

So sorry that your bubble burst… I can’t think of anything new to say as everyone seems to have said what I am thinking. Don’t feel bad for wanting/needing to put yourself, and your feelings, first. After all it is what your parents seem to be doing. At the end of the day, it will be their loss if they don’t choose to accept the situation.

My husband is a black african and I am white. His parents have refused to meet me or our children (who are gorgeous - even if I do say so myself) and say that I have brought a curse on the family. I am lucky that my husband stayed strong, 10 years down the line, he still sees them - but without us. I often feel that we are missing out on so much culture and experience and it makes me sad to not be able to moan about my mother in law. However , they are missing out more by not having met me and my boys.

You gotta be a bit selfish here and look after yourself, that may then give you the strength to fight your corner if you need to. I like how Alison100 phrased it. Retreat and restore energy. Give it some time and space. With support from Marc, take care of No.1.

Hope things work out in one way or another for you.
