    • About Me

      Was diagnosed with MS in April 2008 after about 4 years of testing and hearing "we don't know what's wrong with you". I am a single mom of a college-aged son who is the love of my life! I also work full time as an office manager for a CD/DVD duplication company.

      Laugh for the Day


      You are on a crowded bus when you suddenly realize you need to fart.

      The music is really loud, so you time your farts with the beat. You
      let
      go about 5 strong and loud ones back to back.

      After a couple of songs, you start to feel better as you approach your
      stop.

      As you are leaving the bus, people are really staring you down, and
      that's when you remember:



      ......you've been listening to your iPod

    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Relapsing-remitting MS

      I was diagnosed with MS in April 2008. I had bad dizziness for years, but they couldn't find the problem. Said I was in the 10% of "undiagnosed" balance disorders. So, I just lived with it. Years later, I happened to mention I have bladder/bowel problems, and when it hits, LOOK OUT! I was then sent to a Neuro and was finally diagnosed through the MRI and spinal tap. I'm being treated for RRMS, but I don't have relapses (that I know of). The Drs. don't know for sure what type I have.

      Treatments

      Baclofen Not Working
      Rebif Working / Worked
      So far, so good! No side effects except for bruising at the injection sites, but goes away by the time I have to inject in that spot again.
      Neurontin Not Working
      Started at 100 mg 3 times a day, and am now up to 500 mg 3 times a day and it's not working yet.
