Little Love
I sent the heart for 'falling in love'......Thankyou for your message of support. I believe every little thought from others brings me closer! Take care.

Thank you so much!! Strangely it feels good knowing that there is someone out there who understands. I'm going to try for disability soon. My walking has become harder and I have actually been asked in Target if I'm ok because i'm stumbling like a drunk. And those are my good days!! I can't imagine going back to work or trying to find a job right now. Two to three days out of each week I feel like I have the worst case of the flu ever (after my Avonex shot) and the rest of the time I'm struggling for words or trying to remember what I did the day before or that morning. People have asked me if I have good days and no one seems to understand that a good day means more than a couple of hours with no pain or stumbling.
Thank you again!! Your message meant so much to me.

Thanks- I'm going to call the Dr. today. I was expecting a shipment on Wednesday
and I cancelled it. 
I’m With You
I am so sorry that you are having a rough time of it... I use every surface to balance myself, chairs, walls, railings... if it is close and if it is sturdy, it is there for my balance! The tough times is when I have to walk through a parking lot, or in an area that has no strong holds.
I will include you in my prayers this morning! Please be safe!

Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Relapsing-remitting MSI was finally diagnosed in 2006. I had needed to change my Dr. and went to one I already knew. We started dealing with my problems and then one day I asked if he thought I might have MS. He said lets find out and I had an MRI done. He immediately got me into see a neurologist and I had a sleep test along with an MRA and a spinal tap. Everyting indicated MS. The tap showed 5 distinct bands. So far I'm pretty lucky. My worst symptom is my drunken gait.
Treatments
- Avonex Working / Worked
- Since on it I've not noticed any worsening of symptoms. I've not had a problem giving myself the shots because I have a medical background and already give myself B-12 shots every month.
- Prednisone Working / Worked
- It does a lot to help with pain. I know because the times I've forgotten it the pain pops right up to tell me. I've been on it for many years because I was diagnosed with MCTD years ago and that was the treatment.
- Sleep Not Working
- My meds are not getting the job done right now. I do sleep but not sound enough and this is with faithful use of CPAP. I just don't feel rested.
