      From nnyl1 September 24, 2008

      Hey how you doing, yourself? Your plans today sound good. Before I write this I read your journal and profile. It sounds as if your in the "first year from hell". I could be wrong about that, if I am ignore what I write. The first year ftrom Hell ends & you do get through it. When I was in that year, someone told me it takes about two years to recover from that relapse that diagnosis. It did get better after 2 years. The doc told me... I no longer have a normal, I just have a series of baselines. It took about 2 years to establish a baseline....eveything was really variable 'til then. So it helped me to tell myself I would wait 2 years before making any decisions. And you have the grief of your father to deal with too. Things will get better in about 2 years. Hang in there, you just have to keep you head above water. Be well & Enjoy your plans today! Lynn

  • Goals

    Goal Completed on Sep 26, 08
  • Support Groups

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

      I have to stop cause I can't think clearly enough and tell my story clearly enough that it would make a difference, I will change it later.

      Treatments

      Betaseron Working / Worked
      I did not like the side effects. Flu like symtoms.
      Copaxone Working / Worked
      I have been on this injection since 2005 when I was living in Baltimore. A Johns Hopkins doctor recommended it. Dr. D.I. He was very good. Copaxone has helped and only causes an itch at the site of injection. I have had not had as many exacerbacitions.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      I took it for nerve disfunction in my waist. But discontinued it at the alert of a physician who said that it was bad to take it if I was not having pain. And I was not so I discontinued it.
      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      PT always worked. Physical therapists are a rare breed. God gives them the spine of steel that bends.
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      Works when having a severe exacerbation but makes me want to eat the walls. It also gives me anxiety.
      Solumedrol Working / Worked
      Yes!!!!! Mega Doses Intraveniously And I won't stop talking! And I won't sleep.

      I know that whenever you get sad there is a dark bottom and then there is the light. And the light will always come.

      Cymbalta Working / Worked

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
