Men need to take extra caution when taking calcium as it can cause kidney stones. Mike you should consult your doctor before starting calcium. Females need to consult their doctors also as you can take too much which can be dangerous.

I dont think that would be my problem. I drink plenty

milk. Then again it might be.

Beth,

Where in Missouri do you live? I lived in St Louis for a number of

years. My twin sons live in Columbia.

Heard you have already seen snow. We were in shorts yesterday down here in Texas---I do like the

mild winters.

Welcome to the group. I love your quote—I

am pretty stubborn too.

Hi - I'm new and thought I'd post my intro:

I'm 38 yo and in Mid-Missouri. I was diagnosed

around 1990.

Hmmm... What do people usually ask?

*walk with a cane outdoors (pride cometh before a

fall!)

*work full time (plus)

*in a successful lovely relationship for 3 years

*take avonex, ritalin (for fatigue), and

wellbutrin

*ongoing symptoms/effects of MS are numbness in

hands and feet,

urinary incontinence, awful fatigue,

forgetfulness/confusion (I am

known to say - " stop, can you please start

over, I'll get my notebook "

I was very overweight previously and have lost 80

pounds about 3

years ago and am going for my final weight loss

now through diet and

exercise. How I hate to diet but love to exercise.

Strength training

(weights) saved me! I feel so much better now and

can do things

because I have some muscles to back me up. It

seems to fight fatigue

(as well as the weight loss). I have had mild and

severe

exacerbations and ongoing pesky symptoms. I use

the quote, " I'd

rather die on my feet than live on my knees. "

because I'm really

stubborn about approaching life in an assertive

and positive manner

and being real. It irritates people once in a

while but I will try to

be more sensitive! I need to cry too sometimes.
