I'm looking forward to seeing old faces and new!

      From kimmie42 October 3

      hi,sweetie
      i saw what u wrote about dating. when u find someone u want to date tell them u have ms and if they dont want to date u it is there loss. it is because they dont want to take the time to understand or care u deserve better. u deserve someone that will accept u for who u r and ur ms if they cant then it was not ment to be. dont give up u will find someone. my mom always told me not to love for love it will find me and it did. i have been happily married for 20 years and he is so supportive an my 15 year old son is to. hope u have a good weekend. glad to see u back on. was wondering what happen to u. i have been sick latley and have not been on myself all that much. take care an remember u r not alone we are all in this together. love ya

      Treatments

      Baclofen Working / Worked
      For muscle cramping and spasms somewhat helpful.
      Copaxone Working / Worked
      Ahhhhhhh.....To sleep 8hrs. again! Wonderful!!! I hardly have to make the bed when I wake...no movement!
      Gabapentin Somewhat Helpful
      Actually I dont think I receive much benefit from this drug prescribed for anxiety for me.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      Prescribed as a calming drug. I'm a little unsure if it works or now, I still suffer from severe depression and anxiety.
      Zoloft Too Soon to Tell
      Just switched back from Effexor. My PMS has been OFF THE SCALE!!! Trying to figure that one out too. Well, Not working for pmdd. I was incapacitated (literally for five days. no appetite, uncontrollable crying, can't function to do ANYTHING! This is serious and I'm not certain what we will do next
