It certainly is a bummer, Nessa--one of nature's truly raw deals. Yet, so long as it can be managed, you can still be the important parts of your old self! In fact, I would say that this is important--not only for yourself, but all your loved ones and professional associates as well.

Please tell us a little about yourself and your WG story. Also, you might want to check out the blog of Marta, one of our members. She has a pretty cool video clip worth seeing. Weggies Unite

Hello Nessa, welcome to this site, it is full of people that are willing to share and help. So, let us know, as Hammy said, get it off your chest. One of the most important aspect of "dealing" with WG is your attitude towards it. We have all been in your shoes in one form or another. Stay as positive as you can, don't let WG take over, keep a positive attitude towards life, and you will succeed.

We're here for you Nessa! I think we've all felt some level of depression, and can relate to both that, and the frustrations of having this disease. It's a great group. Lay it on us!!

Depression is a part of this disease...at first glance it's pretty ugly, but we learn to cope as best we can. You're in the right place for comfort, info, and finding your bearings. We're all in a similar boat...hang in there...ask questions, be patient, be persistent...it all helps...best of luck to you...keep your head up!

Hello Nessa,

When I was diagnosed and started reading up on how nasty this disease can be, I too was shell-shocked for a period of time. One of the more therapeutic things I did was make my first posting here, telling my story. Knowing there are others out there who have managed, over time, to grapple with the ups and downs has really helped me more than I could possibly express here.

As others have said, feel free to unload here and tell your story.

Hal.

Nessa, not to be trivial about WG but you do get to belong to a very exclusive club and will get to make some good friends through this site. We all know how frightening and daunting it all seems for you at the moment, but with the right treatrment things are not quite as bleak as they seem.
