What about US? What about when OUR health is trying hard to take the front seat? I'm so sick of being sick myself, and it looks like I may have a brand new major problem. My kids--the autistic one and the normal two--need me to be at my best, and I am just not going to be. I am feeling so sorry for myself. I don't have time to be going to the doctor for myself. I'm having to choose between things my kids need and things I need to do, perhaps, to save my own life, and I resent it.

Cat, I sooooooooooooo hear you.

It's why I just took my one opportunity in a month to go to my friend's cabin. Cheap (almost free, just took some food with) get-away. The 3 days away was a God send!

Do you have anyone that can relieve you and give you a break even for an overnight? Even if you do a cheap camping out trip just so you can get away and relax. Maybe at your church???? Heck, if I lived closer I'd help you out!

This month has been the month from H*E*L*L for me. By the end of last week I was at a point where all I could do was cry. I totally feel for you. I think most of us have been there, if we aren't still there.

Ours is not an easy row to hoe...but God entrusted it with us, so that must mean we can do it. Right?

Being manic helped me raise my severe Cerebral Palsy son.

As I have aged I found a med. that works great.

He also developed manic on top of his Cerebral Palsy and doc prescribed him what I take working great.

It is a B*8ch being a getting older and having to take care of me so I can care for him.

I hear you on getting to the doc. I have not seen a dentist for 13years. Thank God I have not had any dental problems.

My son is so severe he has to have his teeth cleaned under anesthesia and has never had a dental problem other than his wisdom teeth taken out.

Thank God for little miracles.

On another note now that he is not a peds. patient it was hard to find hosp. that would even treat him. Yes he has been declined due to his severity.
