    About Me

    I was diagnosed with MS a little over a year ago. When the symptoms of MS first started they were unstoppable. My dr told me that it was RRMS, but later we found out that it's SPMS. I still am not used to these major changes in my life and I don't know if I care to be either. I just want my old life back.

    Interests

    My children and my puppies.

      Type: Seconday Progressive MS

      Treatments

      Provigil Working / Worked
      used for fatigue...has since stopped
      Pataday Working / Worked
      When I was dx'd I started the Rebif injections, had to stop because I got very depressed. Then I started taking Copaxone. I haven't taken a shot in over 8 months and I jst got another MRI done and the disease is progressing at the same speed as when I was taking the injections. The emotional factor pr having to take them just got to ber so overbearing that I made a choice to stop. Of course it is against the adivce on my neurologist and husband, but it's my choice.
    • Close Infidelity

      This is my second marriage. I thought this was going to be better than my first since there was physical abuse, but I seemed to marry into mental and emotional abuse instead. Some trade-oof huh?
