About Me
I'm just me, and if someone doesn't like it, tough noodles. :D I'm a lot of things, but first and foremost I'm a mom. I work in health care as a medical transcriptionist but have aspirations of getting back to school and finishing my PA degree, so I can help patients in a more hands-on way. I don't believe in setting limits on how far a person can go in life once they set their mind to it, so-called "disabilities" and all, and that's part of my drive in adapting to and overcoming physical limitations resulting from MS and syringomyelia.

Interests
In my former life I enjoyed bowling, painting, crochet, gardening, and bicycling. In my current life, I spend a lot of time trying to figure out ways to do those activities I once enjoyed, so that I may enjoy them again.

Hug
I ment to tell you yesterday that I know how bad MS can be also because my brother in-law has it and he was in the Martial Arts just five short years ago and then he had a car wreck and kept having problems with his shoulder and now today he is in a wheel chair and has had all kinds of siesures in his spinal cord(not in the brain) that has caused all of his problems.So if you need me for anything let me know.

Support Groups
Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Relapsing-remitting MSDiagnosed "formally" after years of progressive weakness that became profound 2 years ago, optic neuritis leaving me with limited vision in my right eye, and difficulty swallowing and even breathing, after seeing many doctors and being told everything from "It's all in your head, you need a psychiatrist" to "you're faking," I finally had enough plaques on my MRI to qualify for that formal diagnosis.
Treatments
- Copaxone Not Working
- Started 11/07. Stopped 07/08. Needles don't bug me but left "tattoos" of my prior injections for months. Progressively worsening symptoms and another - worst ever - flare.
- Provigil Working / Worked
- Started 4/10/08 but within hours of taking the first dose, I was geared up and ready to take on the world, feeling more like the OLD me than I have in years. I am optimistic about having this in my regimen and only wish my doc had started me on it sooner. Had progressed from 1 to 2 per day, now back to 1/2 to 1 or sometimes 0 post vitamin therapy.
Close Syringomyelia
Small sx in C-spine with disk herniation, discovered during workup for MS and currently being monitored.
