Peace at last. The twinges that were happening every couple of minutes ceased last night. It drives me crazy when they happen every couple of minutes …

About Me
Used to be an active guy always boating on the Columbia or Willamette Rivers-camping there with the boat tagging along, of course fishing, back packing, snow and water skiing (I was a good snow skier if I do say so-was on skis since 7yrs old & that is why I went off to Colorado for college, photography, fictional writing, and some poetry, golf, and lastly but not limited to a little tennis. I would try most things once, if only for the experience. I am unable to use my hand to write but I can still type but not very well, it just takes longer than before. As for content I wasn’t very good though I do have my moments there just needs to be more of them. That’s Ok, because I write for personal satisfaction. If I write for me it really dosen't matter what the book turns out like. Well...I can still physically type but the two things I miss the most are boating and dancing. Boating due to finances (the last 25 years I have never been with out a boat) and dancing because I'll fall on my face...LOL. Want to dance with me. That’s me in a nut shell. I rarely get angry, irritated yes, or an ass to anyone ever; that’s no way to live life, or to treat others. Everyone deserves respect, I mean everyone!, until they show me different. Oh, there is also this guy named………God, though I am not a 'go to church every week person.

Interests
Camping, boating, Skiing-water and snow., 4x4, backpacking, fictional writing, a little poetry, & golf though I haven't tried to swing a club in yrs. I can only write now but the MS has effected my concentration and typing abilities. I wasn't very good before but now I realy suck at it but it's enjoyable for me.

I like cowboy stories
A young cowboy walks into the town cafe. He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded, staring blankly at a full bowl of chili.
After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy bravely asked the old cowpoke, "If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?" The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in his best cowboy manner says, "Nah, go ahead."
Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place and starts spooning in it with delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices a dead mouse in the chili. The sight was shocking and he immediately barfs up the chili into the bowl.
The old cowboy quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I got, too."-

Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Progressive Relapsing MSOne day 10 years ago my face went numb and had stabbing pains in the right side of my face while I was quietly eating my lunch. Thus my saga began
Treatments
- Avonex Working / Worked
- The length of the needle is a core sample; doesn't hurt thoug. Taking it is more of a mental battle. The flu like side effects have not left me and it has been a year.
- Copaxone Not Working
- Had to stop because each shot started to efect me like the first. Those of you who have tried Copaxone know of what I am speaking.
- Cymbalta Not Working
- Weird thoughts, dreams, and physical feeling-can not put to words.
- Neurontin Not Working
- As if taking sugar pills.
- Oxycodone Somewhat Helpful
- Not taking now but it did seem to take the bite off the TN. I am now on Opana wich is similar to the oxy. It seems to help switching pain killers every few months.
- Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Books cause I can not afford to drive the 100 mile round trip on a SS budget
- Prednisone Somewhat Helpful
- When I have a flare I receive an intravenous zap of steroids which definitely helps. You have to take Pepcid cause it causes horrible heart burn.
- Valium Working / Worked
- Lessons fear of TN attacks and I can’t take it before bedtime because it causes me to wake up within an hour, every time.
- Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Working / Worked
- The theory of Emotional Fitness Training is sound and there are some great benefits lessons and mind set attitudes that can be learned. It only works when I can concentrate. With constant pain is the problem complete concentration is difficult and having the ability is a must. I tried this first and spent a lot of money cause I didnt want to take the meds. Wish I had the money now cause I feel as if it were a waist of money cause you can learn this from a book.
Close Trigeminal Neuralgia
I would not wish this on my worst enemy. I have had to teach myself to relax and not move any facial mussels. I can not show emotion and I am an animated guy; that’s just me. It is amazing how much pain the body can take and not pass out.
Treatments
- Gamma Knife Not Working
- Oh well, I had to take the chance. .
- Nerve Blocks Not Working
- most of them had bad side effects.
