Guest guest Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Hello, I am new to the group. My name is . I'm the mother of six and the wife to a great man who was just diagnosed with MS. My husband is 42 and has been a long haul truck driver for 22 years. He is also a diabetic who will now be on insulin. So that ends his career. Oh, he does have two herniated discs in his neck that have to be repaired as soon as possible also. We will be applying for SS disability. I really it's not as long of a process as some have told me it was for them. I welcome all advise. http://countermanfamilynews.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hi How old are your children? I have two adult children and 8 grandkids ages 6 to 23. I live in Northeastern Arizona and we are off-grid, getting our power from our solar panels and wind generator. I live very, very rural. We have a huge organic veggie garden and I keep chickens and ducks for eggs. We also are just getting started with raising Narragansett turkeys. I was diagnosed in 98 after having an attack of Transverse Myelitis in 97. I was on Avonex for five years and did good on it but then quit because I was sick of shots. I was okay for a year but then went into an exacerbation lasting several years. That attack lifted and now I have occasional flares. Life is good!I'm glad you joined us:) SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Sharon, You do live in very rural. I don’t know all the terminology so you will have to explain to me what Transverse Myelitis is. We have realized, since doing some research, that his first episode was about three years ago. He had Optical Uveitis. Since then he has had symptoms off and on that we attributed to diabetes or just a bad back. http://countermanfamilynews.blogspot.com/ From: MSersLife [mailto:MSersLife ] On Behalf Of Sharon Sent: Monday, July 05, 2010 2:12 PM To: MSersLife Subject: Re: New member...Hello!

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I imagine you are a particularly strong woman to deal with notjust 6 children, but 2 of whom have Aspbergers.
