"It is hard NOT to panic"
It is hard not to panic. Been doing real well. But driving Steve to work today, I started up in all the old symptoms again. Started the speech irregularities - the mumbling, the nonsense, the confusion - got lost in the middle of the Castro for a moment. Made it home fine. But the numbness in the leg is back and all the old feelings here and there are back in the head and all over. Telling myself NOT to panic. It is short term. I was told to expect this now and again. It is now. It will pass. Don't panic, Richard. Don't panic. This too shall pass. It is OK to have one bad day. Yall Hang In There! I will too. Richard

Hi Everyone, Richard congratulations, don't look at this morning as a negative!!! You got out there and you did it, you drove Steve to work. Yes, I heard it in your post it was scary, but you did it, thats the main thing. Who knows every time you make it, hopefully the anxiety will lessen each time, hang in there your doing great. Bye Roxy.

I understand where you are coming from, completely. That is one of the perks of this place isn't it! Our loves ones really try to understand. But they can only do their best to relate. I read you are going back to work. Everything still on track for that? Wishing you peace that is stronger than the panic, Mel

	Seems like it's always hardest when I have symptoms after having a "good" stretch. Takes me no time to start thinking maybe it's not gonna come back this time--then it does--then I'm thinking it's never gonna go away this time. But it does! Thinking about you, Norma

	I was supposed to start back to work part time today ... but there is no bureaucracy like a federal bureaucracy ... the HR folks have not yet read my doctor's letter that arrived last Wednesday in Washington DC. So I am still sitting here at home. Turns out to me a good thing after all. A bit frustrating. A bit scary. Hang In There! Richard

	Wow that's a coinky-dink I ask on the day you are to go back! In due time I suppose. Like you said, probably a good thing. Take care, Mel

5. "Scary times..."
Hallo Richard, I am so sorry about the re-occurence of your symptoms. It is true that it seems harder after living live of comparative freedom form pain, but it seems the Monster never sleeps and gets us when we least expect it. I suppose such episodes remind us that we must always be wary and always on guard if we are going to have more of those good times in the future. But it is terribly hard to have to live through such scary times again... I experienced some awfull times recently after some better times after my re-bound treatment which helped with my daily headaches, and I was extremely resentfull of this particular episode, I was furious and impatient to get over it, but I realised that the stress and tension is not going to help so I had to calm down, grind my teath and get on with the whole thing until it passed... Wishing you good luck in your work and plenty of painfree times NikaB

Hi Richard-- You've done a lot of good to others by posting on this board. I have just plain old simple migraine, but I can't go around without enough medicine in my briefcase to put an elephant to sleep, otherwise I get stressed, and when the stress wears off and I feel all happy and relaxed, I get a migraine. Oi. It is not your fault that you don't feel well. Hang on--and remember--the best way to hang on is to let go Jeff

	Richard, Hope it's just a fluke about the migraine recurrence. At least it went away and didn't last for a long time. You've been doing so well lately, it's probably just a blip that sometimes happens occasionally. Even when we're doing a lot better, sometimes a little migraine will slip in occasionally just to let us know not to let our guard down! Good luck, Debbie P.

	I just want to wish you all the best. Your posts have often helped me to stop panicking when it all gets to be a bit too much. My heart is with you. Mary Anne
