Hi, this is Norma. I am still reading most of the posts. I have not been

up to responding very often but do pray for those with prayer requests and

love hearing all the news and discussion of MS. Thanks, Sharon, for

monitoring this list. Please do not take me off the list at this time.

Hi, I'm still here. I've been doing really crappy so I've been quiet.

My MRI came clean so my sister is using that as her denial. Also, even

though my PA said it's totally o.k. to use a wheelchair, my sister wants to

hear it from my primary care doctor. Dr. K hasn't been treating me for this

and she wants to go in at the beginning of the appointment. I'm scared that

he might not be aware of the problems and just say " no chair. " I have no

idea what types of questions she will ask and very likely will find any word

to say to me " no need for the chair. " Without the wc I'll be way too

fatigued to go to school and I want to get my degree this semester.

--(can't get into the neuro until May btw. UGH!!!)

Hi all. I'm a new member, just joined this month. I do not have MS

but my husband has been symptomatic for 5 years and was finally

diagnosed 4 years ago after his second exaserbation. He has had two

more relapses since then and has recovered enough to resume work

though he tires easily as you all can relate to. I consider this

group one more resource for me to learn what I can for myself and my

family to live with our own MSer who is progressively becoming very

difficult to cope with. He shares many of the problems I've read in

some of your posts; memory loss, loss of balance, intermitent

numbness and tingling, vision and bladder problems, insomnia and the

worst of all the mood swings.....I'm not able to read all the many

posts of this very active group, but I'll read what I can and learn

from all of you. Thanks and bless you all. Melodie

Hello

My name is Bill and I am 41 and am married to my wife Judy and we have 2 boy's, I have had my MS now since Aug of 99 and mine all hit me within a month's time. I went from being in good health the beginning of July 1999 to using a walker and bladder trouble by mid Aug when I was diagnosed with MS. I also chose to leave work on disability. I was happy I had both short and long term disability insurance from my company. I am still on there long term disability and I was also able to get on Social Security my first time applying. I was glad that I was able to use my Social Security that I had paid into for so many years. You can read more about my MS on my web page.

http://home.insightbb.com/~msdiabetes/aboutme.htm

What kind of work does your husband do? Is he able to do his job ok and how long has he been doing it? Do both of you have any kids? I always felt my now 13 year old got the worse from my getting the MS because he had to take on doing things that I normally did all the time, like mowing, trash, house maintanence, etc. I have no balance at all so using a push mower is impossible. I am still able to drive my truck with the help of hand controls on it. I can also use our riding lawn mower so does get a little help from me.

How does your husband feel knowing he might have MS? When my MS hit me I had no idea what it was other than hearing the word a few times.

I wish I did not get MS but I am happy it is not a deadly disease that will make me die in a few years. I take Copaxone for my MS and I hope it has helped me out. I am also a type 1 diabetic so I feel like a pin cushion sometimes since I take 3 shots a day.

There are three of us from Indiana in this group and we attend a local MS support group once a month. We have our meeting every 3rd Thursday of the month and have one this Thursday night. You might look into your area to see if they have one, they can provide you with more information.

Welcome to the group and I hope you make some new friends.

Bill
