Hi All

[Guest guest]

Eva,

Lots of prayers for you and your hubby. After my 10 yr check up I asked my

surgeon what my chances were back when I was diagnosed. He said I had a 60%

chance of it coming back. It will be 14 yrs the end of May for me So the

doctors can't tell for sure.

Hugs

Well I go in,in the morning for a biopsy on whatever this is in my

left breast.I went and saw my plastic surgeon yesterday he wants me

to have a total mascetomy he would rather do a breast reconstruction

instead of a breast reduction on that breast now.This will be my

second lump removal on this side and I really wish that the surgeon

would just take the breast.

Well I hope all have a very happy new year and a healthy one also.

thanks Eva

Our son was baptized in the St Lawrence. It was an awesome day, it was also my birthday *and* we renewed our vows on the same day. Our Minister came up from WV to do it, there were a lot of people on the beach that asked him if he was local since they wanted him to do the same for their kids! He said No, sorry, I'm imported LOL... Hugs Akiba -- Re: Hi all Hi Akiba, I noticed that you lived in Rome. I was stationed there at Grifiss AFB. That was way back in 1962-62. My oldest son was born at the base. I am originally from Utica, so it was nice to be stationed near home, since I knew I was getting out and could set up house in my spare time. I also used to visit bay. The St Lawrence had some giant fish in it. We used to camp there. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the fish I used to catch. I know we had to troll for them and they fought like a sports fish. Welcome back Peggy. WE have a great time on this list. Love to all, See what's free at AOL.com.

Hi Peggy, My name is . I am new to the group and was directed to this group through Val M. I know how hard dealing with your symptoms can be and dealing with a son with ADHD but I have never heard of ODD but the description says it all. I am married, have 2 children of my own.....2 boys 21 and 16. My 21 year old has had ADHD all his life and after seeing the description of ODD it sounds just like him. My 16 year old is the complete opposite. Great in school. High IQ. He has been on the honor roll since he started school at the age of 4. I have a husband of 6 years but have known him for 9 years. I have 3 step children 2 boys 17 and 13, and 1 girl 12. I have 3 dogs (2 beagles and 1 pug). This about sums up my life. I guess I am just telling you a little about myself and to tell you that you are not alone. We are all here to

support one another. I was dx with MS and then told I don't have it at all last month. I have 2 hyper intense lesions on the brain and 1 suspicious dark area in the middle of my brain. The neurologist could not say what the dark area meant and did not want to investigate it further. I am very frustrated bcs I have had symptoms since my 21 year old was 3 months old. Now I just go on with my life and don't think much about the MS dx anymore. It's just too hard to deal with and I don't want to see anymore Dr's. I do suffer from chronic back pain and migraines. I do not work bcs of this. I have never tried for SSI bcs I don't think I can get it. Did you try to get a lawyer to get SSI? Was that the first time and then you were turned down? If so, the lawyer is the way to go bcs you will not be able to apply again yourself (without counsel) for 7 more years. It's worth

getting a lawyer and your benefits, if approved could be retro. I hope that you look at this group as a way of just getting things out and talking to other people with the same (or almost the same) issues you are dealing with. Depression is normal. A lot of people suffer from that. I always try to look at the good in everything even if it's negative. We are here if you need someone to talk to. Take care :)Peggy wrote: Hi everyone!!!

[Guest guest]

Cassy,

Thanks for the welcome back. I really couldn't tell you the last time

I posted here, it's been a long time though, I think. I'm glad to

know I'm not alone in the memory dept.

My son stopped taking naps when he was 2!!! I had to buy him socks

every 3 months because he wore them thread bare because he never

stopped running. He is on ritalin now so he is at least focused in

school and he starts kindergarten in Sept. He is not considered

Special Ed and only needs help in speech and his fine motor skills.

They are watching him close though.

That is the tough part about the MS too. I am a Summer person and

look forward to it all year long and he loves the outdoors so to have

to tell him I can't play in the sun is hard. He doesn't understand.

To only go out in the morning and at night is ridiculous. It's wet in

the morning and the mosquitos are out at night. Its a big adjustment

for all of us, we are still trying to figure things out.

I'm glad I found you all again. My family has been great but they

don't always understand how I feel inside. They can't. Nobody who

doesn't actually have MS can.

hi Peggy,

Wow, Whitesboro! My old stomping grounds. I dated many girls from Whitesboro as a teen-ager. Nice town. Great High school. I was brought up in Utica and moved to Florida in 1972 with my wife and three children.

The reason I left was because of the 11 months of winter. I am now living in a very small town in central Florida. WE have good fishing and nice weather most of the time. I also raise chickens and ducks and soon we are going to try goats. I have 5 acres and my daughter and her family has her house on the property also. I wish I had the energy to farm, but I should count my blessings.

I had a scholarship to ville Tech. I didn't take advantage of it and joined the Air Force instead. Pretty stupid of me, but things worked out.

Good to have you in the group.

love to all,

[Guest guest]

Hi you will want to look over all the info on the MS web site for more info. It looked like there is a deadline to file for the Scholarship.

I was able to get on Social Security the first time I applied. When my MS hit me It was all brand new to me, my neurologist told me I needed to be on disability. When my MS hit I had both short and long term disability on my companies insurance plan. I used both of those. I am glad I had both. I am still on my companies long term and also Social Security. If you get accepted your kids will also get SS funding. I learned from the beginning to keep track of co-pay and all pay for medical treatment even keep track of distant to the doctor. All of that is tax deductable and has helped us every year to get more money back.

If you watched the news recently we live near the Prison in Indiana that had the big riot at. We live about 7 or 8 miles from it. Tell your husband they moved prisoners from Arizona and they did not like being far from home and also the New Castle prison is smoke free.

I hope you stay with the group I will be thinking of you when you hopefully get approved for your SS. That will be a big help for you.

Hi Peggy:I'm so glad you remembered you belonged here! I'm happy to "meet" you all over again. So you were diagnosed nearly a year ago. What brought you to that dx? What kind of symptoms were you having? How long do you think you have actually had MS?Are you on any kind of treatment for MS? I used to do Avonex injections (for 5 years) but quit in 2003 because I felt so darned good I didn't need it any longer. lol Now my MS has progressed. I still don't take any of the 'disease modifying drugs' such as Avonex, Betaseron, Copaxone, Rebif or Tysabri. I did, however, start on LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) last November and I have seen an improvement in the way I feel as far as the

pain goes. My family has a variety of diagnoses, too. We have ADHD, ADD, OCD, Asperger's Syndrome and Tourette's Syndrome. I've probably left out something Many people believe there is a connection with MS and Autism or ADHD, etc. hugs))Sharon Hi all Hi everyone!!! I'm actually not new to this group but haven't posted

Hi Sharon,

I'm glad to be back!!! I went to the dr. because in June I thought I

was having a bout of vertigo that lasted 2 days and then went away.

At that time I just dismissed it as stress. Stress is a huge factor

in my life and I don't handle it all that well. Then almost a month

later to the exact day I experienced it again only this time it

lasted for 3 1/2 days. I had been driving my son to his summer

daycare at the special ed school he was attending, scary now that I

think of it. We were very lucky there were no accidents.

I figured something was wrong so I called my regular dr. and when I

described the feeling I was getting from the vertigo he suggested an

MRI " just to rule out anything big " and some blood tests. He told me

it was probably just an inner ear problem. So I went that very day

for the MRI and got the results a few days later.

He referred me to a very bad neuro who did an LP on me, OUCH!!! She

hit a nerve or bone and I nearly jumped off the table. She actually

laughed as she apologized and I was crying when she said, " let me

know when you are ready to try again " . All I kept thinking is " this

can't be happening " . But it was. The MRI of the brain showed several

enhancing lesions, the cervical spine MRI showed none and the LP

showed some white matter or breakdown of the myelin or whatever it

is. She didn't explain it too well. She was new to the Medical Group.

They said that they caught it fairly early but I don't know. I feel

like I've probably had it for a while because I have been fatigued

for a long time, thought I had chronic fatigue syndrome, had spasms

before, just never thought anything like MS. I am on the lowest dose

of Avonex as I suffer from chronic depression and very high anxiety

and Avonex causes depression. I don't know if I've had a relapse or

not since I was told that any symptoms besides going blind or losing

feeling on one half of your body for more than a day is considered a

relapse. The rest are just regular symptoms to get used to. I felt

terrible all winter. Had a couple of good weeks and am now starting

to feel crummy again. I actually had to get the cane back out

yesterday. I think I'm experiencing the MS hug. Have you ever heard

or experienced it? My ankles hurt, I'm so tired all the time, and my

legs feel heavy.

ADHD and all of those diseases are so hard to deal with. My son is a

sweetheart of a kid and we love him dearly but his defiant outbreaks

are just too much for me to handle anymore. We started to put him

back on the Risperadol last night to see if it will work. We did see

a slight adjustment the last time, at least his outbursts were not as

severe. Last night he was awful. It's so hard to remain calm when you

are already pushed to the limit.

Now, I'm arguing again with my 17 yr old daughter about her summer

plans, and her graduating next year in either January or June and

what she plans on doing about a job because she wants a car and we

need her to have one as my hubby may have to leave the area for

training for a job and he may be gone for about 6 months. She is

afraid she is going to lose me so she is mean to me. She actually

asked me today, knowing I have trouble remembering, if I wanted her

to write down that she didn't need my help in figuring out her own

life and if she needed my help she'd ask. DAGGER!!! So I saved her

the trouble and wrote the note myself. All I wanted to know was if

she was going to quit a summer job in the fall what difference did it

make where she worked. She flipped out, went on the defensive, as

usual, and yelled telling me she wanted to check with her guidance

counselor first to see if she could even graduate in January. Not

that it has any bearing on any job she takes. All the college kids

are now home and her finding a job will probably be next to

impossible. GGGRRRRR!!! Just pile on the stress!!!

Do you ever feel like just running away? So many times I ask myself

how the heck did I ever get HERE? 40 years old. Gone. So fast. No do

overs.

I'm glad the LDN is working for you. I've never heard of that med. Is

it new? There are times when I think they've made a mistake with the

dx. when I feel good or normal. I think they must be wrong, you can't

feel like this and have a disease like MS. Is the LDN given as an

injection too? How often do you have to take it?

Thanks for the welcome back!!

Sorry this is so long.

Hugs,

Peggy
