I will be completely crippled. I wish I was never born.
My mother always said "don't borrow trouble", and what she meant was basically, don't assume the worst until you are absolutely sure the worst is the only thing in front of you.
And if that is for sure, then deal with that.
Even though this looks very grim for you, it doesn't mean it's the end. I know....easy for
me to say, right?? Sorry. But still, there could be a way for you to have a life that doesn't include being completely crippled. Or that does include being disabled, but is still a life worth living. Hang onto that possibility, for the sake of your own self. I am not saying hope. I am saying, don't give up yet.
It "sounds" like it, you say, and the doctor says it "sounds" like it. That is not the same as saying that's what it is for sure. So there's no point in giving up and thinking your life is over when you don't even know for sure yet what is going on. No matter what the outcome is, negatively approaching it can only do harm to you.
Also..........
Even people who are completely disabled have lives to live, can make them into good lives, and I have known some people like that. I have known those who made a life for themselves despite challenges that I don't know that I could bear, myself. But the thing is we never know what we can do until faced with it. Ultimately you have 2 choices, always. Either live or die and if you don't choose to die on purpose then there's always going to be a way to live, and choices to make about how you do that.
Whether or not you have fibro, we are here for you, to support and encourage, if you choose to keep living in spite of everything you have to face. That's what we are all doing here, and you are welcome among us.
