    • About Me

      I have had MS for 28 yrs only officially diagnosed in 2003, luckily no major problems till 03 when I had a bout of ON, then 2 major flare-up, but feel like I've gone downhill over the last yrs. I'm also a 7 yr breast cancer survivor (surgery, chemo, rads). I have a loving family, 3 kids, 2 grandkids & even my ex & his family LOL. I'm still working full time (mostly) & I'm praying it stays that way for a while. I think it helps that I'm a very optimistic person & appreciate what I still have!!

      From depressiontini November 13

      Hey there - thanks for the note. It's the little tiny glimmers of light that help on those days when you slide back into the darkness. I keep waiting for the glimmers to last longer and come more frequently. I realize I need to actively pursue making things better along with having the meds kick in. My bills are piling up too. I think I am beginning to feel like I'll be able to back to work. I just hope once I do I can handle it. Hope you're hanging in there.

    • I’m With You

      From depressiontini November 5

      Hope you're still feeling something positive. It is up and down for me - but I guess that's how it's supposed to be, right?

    • Celebration

      From depressiontini November 4

      Yay. I can feel something happening with me too. But like you said, it IS confusing, and it's hard taking it one day at a time. To keep remembering that hopefully, it's going forward....It's so great not to feel alone.
