Just looking forward to meeting others going through similar challenges in their lives. I was diagnosed with MS in '05. A mother of two...my main focus in life! Ups and downs like a roller coaster and not quite certain what I'd do without them!

Many interests. Appreciate most of all doing anything with plants and flowers, watching them thrive is so rewarding! I have four children, two at home, two grown and gone. I'm a fine cook and find myself in the kitchen playing around with recipes...making my own. Love walking down at the beach not too far from here, searching for sanddollars and shells and all sorts of wonderful little finds. Reading is another passion of mine. My bookshelves have noooo more room. Can't part with them. Cuddling with my cat, cuddling with my kids. It's all good!

I am going to stick to my 'wishing well' and pull one out every now and again. Perhaps it is a wish I can fulfill, or maybe not. …

This is a mass hugg, but it is for you... Have an incredible day inspite of what you may be dealing with!
It is nice to meet you too Cara. I definately have a rather witty and sometimes "out there humour" so I am told. I think you would go mad in this world if you didn't! Hope you are feeling well. I am off to my neuro for my first check up tomorrow after starting on my Rebif so I have my list of questions to ask him. I tell you what I make sure I grill him and make him earn his $150. Mind you he leads the field here apparantly so i will pay him whatever he wants for that expertise ( well almost anything!). I will let you know how I go. Take care and "Here's to new friendships!!" Sam
i wanted to say thank you for the prayer, it's hard for me to really reply right now, but im geting there!
My first attack was smack dab in the middle of an emotional crisis I was going through in my life. I've heard trauma can often be the 'trigger' of a first exacerbation. Well, loss of mom, marriage and home sort of sums it up. Now, I've relocated comfortable, become quite a bit stronger and pray every single day for what I DO have instead of what I may like to complain about. It does help believe it or not!
I have a close friend whom I believe could quite possibly mimmick the symptoms of Parkinsons. Very tremor like. Poor balance. Not taking care of herself and will NOT let her friends help?
