Welcome to the group. I'm a newbie too...just 1.5 yrs. from diagnosis, and trust me, I have been scared to death many times. I would then just give myself permission to stop reading the article or book I was on until I could handle it. Now, I think I've accepted what the future might have in store for me and note the emphasis on "might." For, I, like Michael Fox, am confident that they WILL find a cure for this disease in the not too distant future. Meanwhile, I've learned to accept my drug regimen which I can't believe I'm actually doing!! Time was, all I'd ever take was an occasional aspirin! Just try to stay in the "now" and enjoy or treasure life as is for you now. I'm not getting much done these days beside reading these e-mails, but I've learned so much. It's always comforting to know that there are many others out there rooting for you. The compassion I've felt from some of you has been so nourishing, I can't even begin to tell you how much. As some of you know, I've had my job "eliminated" where I work, effective year's end, and today was the day I interviewed for the only .5 FTE position available at Kaiser I feel I could handle... I came away feeling they will find every excuse not to hire me, even though my riff status should give me priority. They're saying it will be the end of Dec. before they have an answer for me. I'm panicking cuz I can't wait that long! Was really getting down on myself until I came on line and started reading the posts. Cheers, Brenda SIR JAMES1st wrote: > And I thought I was just me.
