She was diagnosed over 10 years ago and has mild symptoms. She does take a weekly injection of something and recently switched meds.

You work is beautiful and it's meant to continue and to shine. Life is unpredictable with MS but it's not undone. It's a rough go! sometimes but everyone is different and you can rest in that.

I'm...I'm so sorry to hear that you have MS. I'm sure there are many support groups out there. I was at a wedding 2 years ago and talked to this man who has MS He was a police officer and he had heard that people who had MS usually worked in extreme heat conditions like running after a perp with 35 pounds of gear on your belt. Where this wedding was at, there was no a/c and it was very humid and he found it unbearable due to his MS. He also talked about vitamin therapy. He looked pretty healthy to me. I guess it pays to listen to all the advice and to keep an open mind when dealing with your illness. Also there is this girl on my old mail route that has MS and she was going to Wave therapy-you stand on this plates and it vibrates and somehow you get a workout. Hockey players and other pro teams use it. What works for some might not work for others. I hope you are not letting this get you down. I read all your comments and there sure are a lot of women out there with it. Sorry for the long comment.

While there are some basic things common to all cases of MS how they play out is different in nearly every case. I know several folks with MS and how each is affected is different. For the most part folks are able to pretty much soldier on with their lives with some minor adjustments. Learning to inject yourself with the medication is generally not much of a problem. I don't have MS but do take an injectible,Embrel, for psoriasis/arthritis. Rose takes one for MS. There are several and you will probably start with one and if that seems to do good for you, stay with that. If not, will be switched to another. Am sure your Aunt Rose can tell you better than I. Don't let it get you down. There are worse things you could have to deal with.Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2969596426309105337.post-28445361660630576182009-03-05T02:07:20.000+00:002009-03-05T02:07:20.000+00:00goodluck........many things for you to cope with a...goodluck........many things for you to cope with at the moment...........was the numb leg your only symptom??Chookybluehttp://www.chookyblue.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2969596426309105337.post-3775965318284092212009-03-05T02:43:48.000+00:002009-03-05T02:43:48.000+00:00You're in my thoughts.You're in my thoughts.Rosalinehttp://gaggle-of-geese.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2969596426309105337.post-6316008941518951422009-03-05T03:40:43.000+00:002009-03-05T03:40:43.000+00:00o man!!!
