About Me
I have been a typist, a secretary, a waitress, a factory spray painter, a truck driver (yes, 18-wheelers), a bookkeeper, and now an accountant. I went to night school for a lot of years and finally graduated college at the ripe old age of 54, Class of 2005, B.S. in Business. In my last semester, I started having a lot of trouble walking in a straight line and retaining information for tests. Symptoms sound familiar? Turns out it was not a menopausal or aging thing, it was my second MS attack. Happy Graduation, Lady! I have a husband of 37 years, 2 grown kids, and 2 adorable grandsons. I also have a great full-time job that keeps me distracted from my MS troubles. I figure I can always fit wheels under a desk, if the "MS train" leads me down that track (provided my BRAIN and EYES hold out). Life is blessed for me in many ways, I ain't complaining.

Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Relapsing-remitting MSAfter being formally diagnosed on my birthday, 2007, I realized that it was more of a relief to find out it was MS for sure and not wonder or think it was all in my imagination. I suffered from all of the weird symptoms on/off for 8-10 yrs. Nothing stuck until 2005, when my right leg suffered damage. Right now I just walk funny with that "drop foot" thing. Luckier than many so I won't complain. I work full time, sit at a desk (lucky again). It keeps me distracted-I often forget I have MS.
Treatments
- Baclofen Not Working
- I started taking this to help with some of the stiffness, but it did not hurt or help. Decided to get off of it when I started Rebif, figured the less drugs in my system, the better. No side effects that I could determine.
- Rebif Too Soon to Tell
- I been on Rebit since 12/07. Experienced the classic "flu-like" symptoms but that stopped when I increased my water intake and changed the time I took my Advil to injection time instead of later. Hardly noticeable effects now (there is a slight skin reaction 3-5 days later). I can't tell if it's stopping the MS attacks or not, but hoping.
