My MS nurse, Elizabeth, that checks on me through BC/BS, just called and we  had a great chat, as we always do.  She is so fantastic and she has helped be through so many rough times.  She's always guiding me in this MS journey.  Such a great friend, I feel like we are related!She told me that she just got a new job and she will not be calling me again, some one else there will.  I was devasted, I feel like my best friend just died.  We have built such a strong relationship over the years.  I was so sad during our conversation, Elizabeth was crying.  I will miss her tremendously!

I truly enjoy my MS nurse also. I think (know) she knows more about me and what is best for me then my neurologist. I hope she never leaves. But, she does live 5 minutes away from me.

That is sad:( I hope you will like the next nurse too. It is hard when you build a friendship like that and lose it because of it being professional.

Oh, that is like losing a family member! So sorry. Nothing like starting over with someone huh? Hopefully you will get another nurse who youo can be just as close with. Have a great weekend.

That is hard! I had two girls that came twice a week to do things I couldn\'t ($) out of our pocket...cannot afford now...clean house...dependable transportation....No clean house....I miss their visits I think more than what they did.

I hope you get someone great to help!

So sorry to hear that she has left. Maybe you two could still stay in touch through the computer or something. Hang in there big guy!

I am so sorry. It\'s hard to lose someone you have come to put so much trust and faith in. Building a new relationship will be tough, but who\'s to tell, it may be even stronger! Hang in there Dave.
