Hey Linda,
Tell Dennis Happy Father's Day as well. Good luck this weekend. Car troubles, wow I know where you are coming from, we put in alternator for 3rd time this year. Yes, you got that right....I keep telling them there is a short somewhere, and they say no way...It is good for 2 months time, lucky this time, we did not have to pay for it....What is wrong with these repair people. I hope your feel better too, my swelling is finally going down...None of the Drs offices called me back, CT is not scheduled, Chemo is not scheduled etc...Going to have Jay take care of calling all them tomorrow and see if he gets anywhere. Hang in there with the MS, I know those feelings too well. Don't over do it either. Hugs with Love,-

But it will be fun too. Hope you are feeling, ok. let me know...how is your MS doing? I am hanging in there, today I think they are going to do the scan on my chest, who knows? Love You -

Hey Linda,
Thanks for prayers, It is all in God's hands now. How do you like your new living arrangements? How are you feeling? Has Dennis found any type of work around? How does Billy like the move? It looks like such a beautiful place. Love You.... -

Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Relapsing-remitting MSMy first sign was in 1981 after I had my first son. I lost the use of my left side for almost a month. The doctors thought I had a stroke. It went away until about 1988 when I cut myself and needed stitches. The whole area went numb and has stayed that way since.I finally got diagnosed in 2001. Hands started to tingle then sting. felt like they were burning. Went to the hospital and they tested me. Have been on all kinds of meds since.
Treatments

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
Hi guys! I have been about 145 most of my life. I'm 5'8 and I always thought I would stay right around that weight. I was active, walked a lot, rode bikes with my kids, had a very physical job. I had a bad spell back in April and had to go on steroids. I gained 48 pounds in one month . Since then I am constantly exercising.and drink a lot of water. I have only lost 4 pounds. What can I do to lose more? I'm very discouraged and don't know what i'm doing wrong. Please help ! thanks Linda

Open Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Hi! My Name is Linda, I have carpal tunnel in both wrists. I used to do stock work for about 15 years and it has taken it's toll.Would love to meet people who need a friend. I can always use a few friends myself. I also have M.S. and that doesn't help matters much.

Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I was in a verbally and physically abusive marriage for three years.Got my teeth knocked out, was mentally tormented and made to feel like I was nothing. Was choked while pregnant with my second son, that's when I decided to make a run for it. That was 24 years ago and still have nightmares sometimes,and have still not been able to feel very good about myself.Some days are good, but some are really bad. Have no confidence about myself!
Treatments
- Abuse Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- Went to abused wives classes at the Y.M.C.A.for a while, then just stopped going.
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- Get lost in the radio sometimes.
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- I have a boyfriend now and we talk sometimes but He just gets angry at my ex and wants to pummle him.That doesn't help me at all.
