About Me
I was diagnosed in 2000. My first symptom was in 1981. I try to keep going thanks to my 12 year old son. Some days it hurts so bad I just want to give up. Most of the time my three sons keep me going. I'm 49, divorced, But have been in a relationship for 11 years. My fiance reminds me to take my meds every day. was deniedtwice so far for disability, third times a charm. Refuse to give up though, My kids won't let me.
Interests
Love to read romance, meet new people. Enjoy comedy, music, going dancing. Love animals but can't have any. I love to smile and make people smile! Just learning to garden and enjoy it a lot.

Great news for sure. Now when you get these, you will still need many adjustments till they are just right...You can get pressure sores etc. Do not keep them in your mouth if they cause this...Take them out and phone the Dentist...I did make that mistake...he said keep them in and I did, then got huge sore and had to start all over again...ugh...I am so happy for you....Today we go back to Dr to get the results of the blood tests that came in irregular. Hanging in there. Love and Hugs

Hug
Hi Linda, I know you are there for me. I finally accepted this dx...I guess it just too time to accept, it is such a shock and to know the future is so uncertain, it was so scary etc. I think I have gotten past all that, I am hoping the new depression meds will lift his spirits some, and the Alz drugs hope that does something. Right now, I think Jay and I can handle it, but I know with my MS there will be a time in the future where I am going to need extra help for both of us. The last two days have been hopeful, he has been more like himself and not out of this world. That is how he gets, the eyes tell it all, like he is in space and his words will slow way down and slur. I got him laughing at some of it. It is not an easy road, but we will work on this and do what we can. I know there are going to be many a time, when I will need help and support from you. Thank you so much for being here for me. Love and Hugs,

Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Relapsing-remitting MSMy first sign was in 1981 after I had my first son. I lost the use of my left side for almost a month. The doctors thought I had a stroke. It went away until about 1988 when I cut myself and needed stitches. The whole area went numb and has stayed that way since.I finally got diagnosed in 2001. Hands started to tingle then sting. felt like they were burning. Went to the hospital and they tested me. Have been on all kinds of meds since.
Treatments
- Avonex Working / Worked
Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
Hi guys! I have been about 145 most of my life. I'm 5'8 and I always thought I would stay right around that weight. I was active, walked a lot, rode bikes with my kids, had a very physical job. I had a bad spell back in April and had to go on steroids. I gained 48 pounds in one month . Since then I am constantly exercising.and drink a lot of water. I have only lost 4 pounds. What can I do to lose more? I'm very discouraged and don't know what i'm doing wrong. Please help ! thanks Linda

That was 24 years ago and still have nightmares sometimes,and have still not been able to feel very good about myself.Some days are good, but some are really bad. Have no confidence about myself!
