    • About Me

      I was DX'd in 2001. Things were o.k. for the first 5 years. Started on Copaxone for the first 3 years but felt like a pin cushion so I switched to Avonex. My husband thinks both drugs have effected my memory and it's causing a strain on us since we own our own business. I'm looking for support from people who know what I'm going through.

    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      My father died at 88 on October 20th 2006 after a one year cancer illness. He went through chemo and radiation only to loose the fight. My family, Mom, older Sister and younger Brother had to wait until December 19th 2006 to put him to rest at Arlington National Cemetery with full honors having been a Lt.Col in the Air Force. Here it is June 6th and I can't help but cry when I am alone and think of him. I know he is in a better place. Now I feel sad for Mom - married 60 yrs
