      Well, I'm down 2 pounds as of this morning.  It's not a lot but better than not losing for sure.  Yay!!! (Here we go again.)

    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Relapsing-remitting MS

      Originally diagnosed 2003 but have had symptoms for a long time - since 1998 that I can think back to.

      Treatments

      Copaxone Working / Worked
      Stopped taking it in December in order to try Rebif but had no complications from it.
      Rebif Too Soon to Tell
      Just switched to Rebif in December to see if it can slow the progression. Diagnosis was changed around that time - Optimistic -could stop progressing some day.
      Solumedrol Somewhat Helpful
      Solumedrol seemed to cause too many side effects. Didn't really work too well.
    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      My weight has gone up and down. Anything I stay with seems to work and staying on track by talking with friends for support is always the greatest defense against temptations. I've got about 30 pounds to go although friends who are kind say that is not so. It's hard to believe the improvements that can be made in health and appearance until they actually happen though.

      Treatments

      Atkins Diet Somewhat Helpful
      Seemed to be work at onset but didn't continue. Fat grams didn't make sense.
      Weight Watchers Working / Worked
      This program really does train in wise and healthy selections. I just think, if I want something wonderful, how can I tweak it so that it is WW friendly? I haven't re-joined in a while but the system is still part of my life.
    • Open Alcoholism

      Coming to grips with the idea that there is and always has been a lot of drinking going on in most of the family. I am concerned for my adult son who seems to be in denial of his serious problem.
