    • About Me

      Relapsing remitting MS diagnosis in '07. Need emotional support badly. Have no family and my friends have turned their backs on me. I feel all alone, especially since loosing every cent I ever earned. It's scary without medical insurance and anyone to talk to, but I am a fighter - as the Incredible Molly Brown put it "I ain't down yet!" Anyone in the Tampa Bay area that can be a friend?

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

      I have relapsing remitting MS. Need emotional, physical-all kind of support and want to provide that to others going thru what I am.

      Treatments

      Copaxone Working / Worked
      Was terrific when I could afford it!
      Neurontin Not Working
      didn't help with the pain at all
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      Was given to me (steroid) after I had the flu or had picked up something els. It got me back on track with my other med's.

      Treatments

      Prozac Not Working
      Took it for years and still did not feel well.

      Very helpful, but not covered by state medical insurance. I took it at night as it makes you sleepy, but it worked wonders for me!
      Topamax Working / Worked
      Great for mood and migranes. Cannot afford on county insurance dont now what I will do!
      Aricept Working / Worked
