Okay, I feel like a goof, cuz I'm replying to A BUNCH of posts...looking for help! And unless you guys physically come to my house and work,etc. and hold my hand through the pain, I don't know what any of you can do. Anyways, this past week has been awful - only one severe blinding pain attack but just overall feeling awful, not eating, and mostly just the impending doom, dread and fear of another attack. I have the peppermint tea, caps, Acacia powder (just started) and diet book. I am doing all I know (and have learned) to do!!! I just feel completely despondent and hopeless. I'm only 36 and have a hubby and 4 beautiful children but I really feel like it's all pointless right now - I feel like my whole life is over and I am on the verge of wanting to quit work (I've been here 11 yrs) and not go on any trips with my family or even leave the house. When I calm down and look back at my life over the past 10 or so years (when the attacks first started) I see that for the most part the past 10 yrs have been attack free (just a couple of blinding pain attacks and the occasional "I should NOT have eaten that" feeling in my tummy) but now that it's happening again, I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Which would be soooo awful for my family. Part of me tells myself that "this too shall pass" and that life will get back to normal but the other part of me wants to give up. Please help anybody.
