Is there anyone out there that is scared??? I am worried about this all the time. I don't know how to cope with all of this.They have ,e opm so many medications I am sick of it. Then having to take shots all the time is not my idea of fun.. I am only 24 years old and have a four year old kid. How do you tell your child that you can't play with them because I am having a flair up.Plus me and my sons father are not together and he is always throwing this in my face. Could anyone please tell me how to deal with all of this. Also I don't want to end up in a wheelchair thats what scares me the most.Does anyone else feel the same way?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Do you have other medical conditions that you have to take so many medications? I take ten pills in the morning and 5 more by the end of the day. I don't mind though as I look at each of them as helping me lead as normal a life as possible. I take the once a week shot and don't think I'd like the daily shot, but I'd do it if I had to.
Fear? Yes, I was terrified when I thought I had MS (before actual diagnosis). Talking with a good friend and my priest alleviated my fear...I no longer fear this disease...I've just learned to live with it and the ups and downs that come with it. Then again, I'm not a single Mom with the pressures that you have. My MS also appears to be in remission (but I still have symptoms). I'm not really sure how I let go of all of the fear but I did. I just remember being horribly afraid and feeling that I was going to 'break'. I went to the parish office for my church and that is where I encountered my friend and the priest of my parish. I was shocked to learn that my friend revealed that she had MS (I would never have guessed!) and that Father W.'s mom has MS as well. These two people provided so much comfort to me that the fear just disappeared and really hasn't come back. I wish the same for you. I hope that you can find someone you can talk to. This board is great, but speaking to someone in person and getting a huge hug from him/her is even better!
Do take care...my prayers are with you and your son.

i take copaxone shots.a thyroid pill and a hormone replacement pill(i had a hysterectamy at 35.)that's all i take daily.i allways have neurontin on hand for nerve pain but i only take it as needed.it's your choice as to what you take.m.s. is different for all of us.
please don't think that because you have m.s. that means your sentanced to a wheel chair.i wish i had the numbers to tell you but allot of m.s. people never spend a day in a wheelchair.stress is not good for m.s. i get scared to.this sight has great people on it.hang in there honey.
Being in a wheelchair is not anything to be afraid of. Without the chair, I would be stuck in a nursing home. I have a power chair that can go 25 miles on a charge. I can go 8 MPH & I live in a town that has trails everywhere & can continue to shop & go out whenever I wish.
You have MS. It is not a death sentence.
