Sorry I didn't mean friends on this website. I meant my friends here.

I'm so sorry you're feeling down. I'm so sorry you feel lost and far away from God. I know nothing I can say will comfort you right now. All I can do is say you are in my prayers. If you need to talk you can message me. Love Sheri.

I have pain and I have suffering. God didn't create it but He will certainly use it to either bring us to Him or push us away. The choice is always ours...I choose Him.

where do you do ur shot? I do mine in the buttock and the side effects are minimal. Still get bodyaches but not like i did and no more chills or shaking and no vomiting that was the worst reaction i had.

Maggie - I believe that God is making not only us stronger but those around us as well.

I never talked so openly with so many people in my life since being diagnosed. There are so many people all around us who have so many individual afflictions.

The more open I am with my friends, the more I find out they do really care. I hope you are communicating with those who you love and giving them a chance to be there for you and share in your life.

Have a better weekend. Hugs to you. Lorrie

If the Avonex I causing to many side effects ask your doc to change to a different MS drug. I know copaxone has fewer side effects and doesn't cause depression. When you take your injections do you take a Tylenol with it. I use the 8 hour one. I also take it at night so I sleep through a lot of the effects.
You are going though some big changes in you life. Grief is a part those changes. This is to big to deal with alone. Try to find an MS support group in your area. Tell you doc how depressed you are, see if he knows of a good mental health therapist. Get on the antidepressants. (I think I am on them for life.)

You need an exercise program. Physical therapy is life long with MS. You have to do some from of exercise everyday even if it is just stretching. A giant rubber band is great for resistance training.

I am a Pagan so my view of the Gods is different from Christian thought. Everyone gives the Gods credit when things are good and then we like to blame them for the bad. IMO, we are physical beings. Our bodies work well for the most part, but like all physical things they brake. Like a mechanic told me, its the spinning parts that go first.
In my faith the Gods aren't there to punish us. We are children, so we must learn and grow. The Gods are teachers, they teach us to use the power within ourselves to heal and cope with our physical self. It is hard, but you will learn from the experience, your life will change and you will find balance.
I am not telling you what religion to believe in or what God to worship or not worship, just look within yourself and you will find more strength than you think you had.

i had pain from head to toe up until abt 2 years ago most of the time and my friend brought me a bottle of cream that said it would cure abt 2 dozen things including pain. i thought what a joke and then one day my pain had me crying and mizerable and i saw the bottle on my dresser and i read ingredients all natural stuff like aloe, lavendar etc so i thought why not. i call it my miracle cream. it not only stopped the pain but it happened almost immediately. and has continued to do so for over a year. now my pain is almost nonexistent but when and if it occurs i get it out and rub it on the pain area and its gone. the name is "stop pain" sure worth a try!

hi i was there and found out GOD as nothing to do in this pain we experience this is from satun but remember it hurts God to see you in so much pain i wanted to give up on life but God did not allow it and i'm a christain wanting to give up but i know it was prayers from people i did not know dr. wanted to put me a narcatic instead i started to go to a in door pool walk in water snd swimm and it did help because for hours i was pain free do you still walk i like walking it puts mine off of pain what are you taking dr's call it spasms that i go through and they put me on muscle relaxers baclofen and zanaflax for the pain now they only have me on tizanidine 4mgs i felt baclofen was helping but the insurance stop i now i'm tryiung to get baclofen back but we'll see so you did not do nothing and God is not purnishing you and we are praying God gives you endurance until you get some releaf talk to your dr. again if he does not listen get another dr. or go to that holistic dr there is help so in Jesus name i pray right now God gives you wisdom and send the help in Jesus name love ya
