Hi Nati

Soundslike a very bad day for you but it does pass in time.Be kind to yourself untiil it passes.I have some days when thinklike that but if it lastsa long time it is more likely to be depression.If you have a sympathetic dr go to them and explain how you are feeling.A good gp will understand how frustrated we can feel.Don't give up as i am sure people care about you and however useless you feel you can give someone moral support which is something that makes me feel good about myself even if i can't do so much physically anymore. I do so much remember what the black dog as depression is  called feels like so my sympathy is with you at this moment.

I see you have had some very warm advice and sentiments on here Nati and I should like to echo them.

 

I hope you continue to find encouragement from all your friends here.  You sound like a very caring person and I am sure your daughter is very proud of you.

Iwent to the conference with a SCA6 and he said he spent some days having psychological assessments. He said the psychiatrist said his thought processes were slower. I have not noticed any difference for myself but I might not be the best judge.
