I am dealing with things a little better.<br />Although I feel very lost without being able to drive. I have to go to Walgreens to buy bebe presents from Santa&nbsp;( she wants Taylor swift and Selena Gomez and Beyonce perfumes!!) because they are a great price there apparently ( so bebe tells me). But I just cannot go. If I have hubby take me where will bebe be?. Amazon does not have the gift sets with free shipping.<br />Anyhoo &nbsp;I hope the EEG on monday goes ok and I get cleared to drive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings/page/2#post-1109899 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:09:55 +0000 rachylou 1109899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you poor dear!</p> <p>And bah. I know people think it's easy to take a little pill, but it's not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings/page/2#post-1109804 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 18:06:22 +0000 Sona 1109804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all. I am feeling better reading your messages.Of course hubby was a grouch this morning dropping me off but understandable: he had to drive south to drop me off then west to drop bebe to school then north to work. Probably close to 2 hours driving time on icy roads.<br />I am going to try uber today. I did find a promo code. Part of me is kinda scared about using a non cab service. But I think that dwelling on getting kidnapped and strangled by an unknown person is not going to get me anywhere!! I will txt the car license plate # to hubby when I get into the car.<br />Yes?<br />Hoping for a quiet ride home!<br />Trying to stay postive.<br />Just switched on my SAD lamp. Thanks!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings/page/2#post-1109790 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 17:53:06 +0000 Sarah A 1109790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Sona! What a hard time! I second Lyn on the lamp. Im originally from MN and moving to sunnnier climes has been essential for my mental health. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings/page/2#post-1109689 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 16:15:36 +0000 lyn* 1109689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think missing one dose of your medications would cause you to have a seizure. *scratches head* I can think of many meds that would cause you to have seizures if you didn't have multiple doses, but not one.&nbsp;</p> <p>It sounds like you're going through a really rough time and I'm glad that a neurologist is on your case (not literally on your case, but you know, on your medical case) as well.</p> <p>I'm sure these have all been suggested to you - but if thinking that a better climate may be the solution to some of your problems, maybe a SAD lamp in the meantime? I blast myself for 30-45 minutes in the morning and am much more chipper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings/page/2#post-1109613 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 14:44:03 +0000 Alexandra 1109613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hugs and positive vibes! I'm keeping you in my thoughts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings/page/2#post-1109606 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 14:36:40 +0000 ManidipaM 1109606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, if a pregnant friend forgot her prenatals, would you say she deserved for her baby to get sick?... Right, then. Moving on.</p> <p>Include in your reframing the idea of being a burden to loved ones. As someone still waiting for the magic five episode-free years before I even learn to drive, I understand the frustration and feeling dependent and helpless... But I also believe acknowledging that feeling for what it really is, fear of loss of control, helps you to better move on to find solutions. After all, driving is not an universal skill nor cars an essential amenity: people can live and well without them. Once you are done focusing on the loss, on something the uncontrollable is wrestling away from you, I know you will find practical solutions.</p> <p>Don't worry about it. And don't borrow trouble until the EEG is in. Sounds like your plate is full enough to get on with at work. Concentrate on the holiday plans instead? Wishing you sunny skies here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings/page/2#post-1109563 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 13:57:58 +0000 shedev 1109563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, I'm so sorry that happened to you. You don't deserve it but we all receive our own challenges in life. Your job now is to take care of yourself. Sending you healing thoughts and prayers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings/page/2#post-1109413 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 08:13:28 +0000 Neel 1109413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I am so sorry Sona &nbsp;Please do not think of yourself as a burden or as you deserved it. &nbsp;I am sure you would do the same to help your DH or friends if god forbid they were in a similar situation. &nbsp;Hope you feel better soon. x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings/page/2#post-1109386 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 06:36:25 +0000 minimalist 1109386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, (((Sona)))! I don't know what to say. In reading many of your threads and forum posts, I've developed quite a fondness for you. Last week at the esthetician's, I thought of you and something you'd posted. (TMI?)</p> <p>So glad that ATLynn turned you on to Uber; I use it a lot and am generally happy with the service. (Rarely a car will smell of aftershave or deodorizer, and occasionally the driver has radio on and needs to be asked to turn it off.)</p> <p>Are you able to get some rest before your trip, between working so much and worrying about being a "burden"? Hope you're at least able to sleep well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings#post-1109343 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 04:53:10 +0000 Beth Ann 1109343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry to hear about this setback.&nbsp; I'm be praying for restorative sleep, compassionate and skilled medical care, and quick healing.</p> <p>So glad you're going to get away for awhile.&nbsp; How kind of your DH to consider moving to a warmer climate for your health.&nbsp; Someone who cares like that for you isn't thinking of you as a "burden," but as a beloved partner.</p> <p>Keep us posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings#post-1109297 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 03:44:36 +0000 Deborah 1109297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness Sona, you seem to have had a rough year. &nbsp;Consider &nbsp;yourself on my morning prayer list (I love to pray in the shower lol). &nbsp;Trust all goes well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings#post-1109270 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 03:18:34 +0000 deb 1109270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, did you check for Uber promo codes?

I just signed up for uber. I plan on trying it tomorrow. Fingers crossed that it works!</p> <p>What a cool idea. And I am so deeply appreciative of your sharing this wisdom/solution with me. I feel paralyzed living in suburbia in freezing temperatures unable to drive.</p> <p>Will post an update re: uber tomorrow. And thank you all for lending me your support. It means a lot.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings#post-1108967 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 22:54:45 +0000 ATLynn 1108967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How terribly frightening this must be. &nbsp; Please be kind and gentle to yourself and allow yourself to heal emotionally as well as physically. &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not overly active on YLF, so you don't "know" me, but your beautiful posts always bring me such joy. &nbsp; So I am sending lots of positive energy your way so you can start shining again. &nbsp;</p> <p>Re: Driving - &nbsp;I hope you get cleared soon. &nbsp; In the meantime, check out&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.uber.com/">Uber</a>&nbsp;instead of taxis if you live within their service area and have a smart phone.&nbsp; It is so much more civilized. &nbsp; As someone without a car, it has changed my life. &nbsp;&nbsp;No exchange of cash (all on a pre-entered credit card), tip is included, you can track the car as it is arriving,&nbsp;and best of all a driver "chooses" you, so you are never stood up. &nbsp; Uber black cars are slightly more expensive than a taxi, UberX is often less than a taxi, but the drivers don't know their way around as well. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>ETA: Checked your profile, looks like there is Uber in MN &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.uber.com/cities/minneapolis">https://www.uber.com/cities/minneapolis</a>, not sure if you're in their service area. &nbsp; Lots of discount/referral codes on the internet or I can PM you one. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings#post-1108927 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 21:48:30 +0000 biscuitsmom 1108927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fingers and paws crossed you get to the cause quickly, and are feeling much better soon.... please don't EVER feel you deserved this trouble! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings#post-1108908 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 21:19:42 +0000 rae 1108908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My goodness, Sona, nobody deserves that! Poor thing, pain is hard enough to manage without remembering meds. I really hope you feel better and can drive soon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings#post-1108890 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 21:03:47 +0000 deb 1108890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, I am so sorry. It is so hard to be patient under these circumstances but Sona, something is going on and they just need to figure it out. Hang in there and I am thinking of you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings#post-1108795 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 19:18:51 +0000 texstyle 1108795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big hugs Sona - and I hope you are feeling better now. I wish you could get to the bottom of the seizure issue - it must be scary and frustrating to deal with it. Don't for a minute blame yourself though - it's difficult for me to remember to take just a couple of vitamins every day, let alone a number of prescriptions. Sunny California may be a nice change of pace - I hope you will have plenty of sunshine in India on&nbsp;your visit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings#post-1108777 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 18:50:06 +0000 Anonymous 1108777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How scary for you.&nbsp; Big hug and hopes that all test come up good.&nbsp; Hang in there and have a wonderful break in India, that's what you deserve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings#post-1108765 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 18:40:44 +0000 Mo 1108765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry to hear you are going through this. &nbsp;I agree reframing your thoughts in a positive way can help. &nbsp;Heck, we all take turns in life caring for others and being cared for. &nbsp;It's just your turn. &nbsp;Hope things look up, especially in time for your trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings#post-1108760 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 18:35:41 +0000 Eliza 1108760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for that experience, Sona. &nbsp;Very scary. It will feel good to get to the bottom of it and know better how to proceed. &nbsp;No need to be hard on yourself- just navigating migraines would be plenty, never mind everything else. &nbsp;Sometimes events like this help put us in touch with the right people to get the best information possible on next steps. &nbsp;I hope this is the case for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craptastic-happenings#post-1108748 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 18:23:34 +0000 Anonymous 1108748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh heavens Sona.
