    • About Me

      I have been married for 27 years to a wonderful man. We have 2 kids, a daughter 27 and a son 26. My daughter is working and going back to school. My son is working at Blockbuster and is going to be a paramedic. I was diagnosed with MS in 1991. I have been blind, bedfast, and in a wheelchair. It's been rough over the last 18 years but God saw us through and still does. It's not easy but we have made it work. I love God and my family with all that I am. They give me strength and a will to never give up. My hubsand, G is a security officer for our local hospital, he is also a PI and in executive protection. I was in security also but I had an exacerbation about 3 years ago and have been up and down ever since. I am unable to work right now but I am leaning on God and my family and I will get through this one too. I have MS but it doesn't have me!

      Treatments

      Atenolol Working / Worked
      Blood pressure pill. I take it with another pill and it helps keep my pressure down. It was getting as high as 110/180.
      Avonex Not Working
      I was on it for a year and it was destroying my liver.
      Baclofen Working / Worked
      If take 6 a day like my doc wants I can't get out of bed,so I have tried different amounts and 3 a day seems to help. I don't have full body spasms anymore but, the pain and spasms are still in my back. I will take another one if I have been up doing too much.
      Copaxone Working / Worked
      I was without it for a week(shipping problems)I really didn't think it was making much of a difference, but, when I started taking it again, I noticed I had more energy.
      Halcion Working / Worked
      Sleeping pill. It works great and no memory loss or pill hangover the next day.
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      Sometimes it's the only way I can get out of bed. It really helps with the pain.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      For Restless Legs. It works real well with the Lorecet.
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      I really hate taking this, but when I get bad it helps
      Provigil Working / Worked
      I really think it is working. My memory is a lot better than it used to be. I'm not sure if it's helping with energy or not.
      Swimming Considering
      My doc wants me to do physical therapy but we just can't afford it. He suggested I try swimming so we are looking in the local YMCA
      Zanaflex Working / Worked
      It helps so much with the muscle spasms I get and I seem to be able to move a little easier
