    • About Me

      After my health declined over the last few years, I was finally diagnosed with MS January 2009. Nine months before the diagnosis I was forced into singlehood but I am doing great. I work in the library of a university and also take classes to finish my Bachelor of Fine Art. I am mother of three. Two sons, both married. Youngest son is an Army medic and is currently in Iraq. He and his wife plan to join the National Guard when he returns. My oldest son and his wife are Lt.'s in the Air Force. My daughter and I live together and she will graduate from college this May. She has been super with helping me. She is a great support system and I would hate to be going through this with out her.

    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

      I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia 2007. Diagnosed with MS January 19, 2009. My mobility is affected but only using cane at this time. I have a lot of pain due to spasticity, chronic fatigue, and occasionally disabled by the TN pain.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      This one helps with the TN pain and as a side bonus depression from the MS
      Darvon Working / Worked
      I take this when I have break through pain with the TN. Has saved me from ER visits where I am given morphine.
      Provigil Working / Worked
      For fatigue so I don't go home at lunch on a work day to take a nap.
      Rebif Not Working
      I have greatly progressed while on Rebif and doctor has taken me off of it.
      Tegretol Working / Worked
      Treats my Trigeminal Neuralgia. Bad, bad, bad, bad, pain.
    • Close Trigeminal Neuralgia

      I was diagnosed in 2007. I take Tegratol, Cymbalta every day and Darvocet when needed.
