Treatments
Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
I was dx with MS in June 2001 It started out that I was parnoid and thought people were out to get me. My family took me to the hospital and they kept me and put me on the physic ward. They did test and the took and MRI and did a spinal tap. The next thing they told me I had MS. They put me on risperdal and lamitcal and put me own copaxone. I start having more outburst with taking the copaxone so I stop taking it plus it made me bruise alot. I recently have been taking avonex and since I've started taking that for over a year I have gained a lot of weight and I still stay depressed. I wish that I change my feeling alone all the time even though I have my family around me it is not the same as a partner or a close friend nearby. If anyone has suggestion please help me I am at the end of my ropes and need a friend who understands plus since I can't walk as well as I use to and am overweight people don't call me or associate with me anymore plus I lost my job behind having MS and it was the worst thing I feel that has happened even though I didn't like my hours of work.
Treatments
- Avonex Working / Worked
Open Depression
I have MS which causes me to stay depressed a lot. I take avonex which is an injection for the MS to stop lesions from progressing in my brain. I feel alone most of the time Because of the MS I had to quit my job which I didn't like but it paid the bills I am divorced and father doesn't pay child support or shows the child any attention. Most of my friends have stop calling because they don't know how to deal with me cause I can't do the things that I use to do like going to clubs, shopping alot I can't stand for a long period of time it hurts so basically I'm again alone.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Not really helping they say I'm in denial about the MS and that I have to change my situation and learn to adapt to the new me but it's hard to start your life back over at 47. Where do you begin.
Open Single Parenting
Hi, I am a single parent with one child that is a boy. He is fifteen now and is not a bad kid at all. His dad hardly comes around to see him neither does he call but on some occassions like thanksgiving and christmas to ask him what does he wants and then doesn't follow through with it. I had a hard time trying to adjust to it because of my son I felt sorry for him and go overboard to compensate for what his sorry dad doesn't do.
