Popsie, Can't say that I have ever gotten stuck in the seat and had to have help getting out of it. Have you ever gone to the store to buy something and after you went up to the register and had the...
Thanks Gretch, now I need to learn how to drive it as I came close to running over my Company's vice-president the other day! Good thing he's cool! /community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif ...
Gretchen, Welcome back my friend! Hope your vacation was an awesome and peaceful one for you!...
I would get away from that quack as soon as possible! Sounds like someone who doesn't care too much for his profession! This guy has a cure for MS???? Good luck to you Heather....
Gretchen, I got my new jazzy power chair last week and I am using it to get around at work! It is so nice not having to try and "slowly" walk everywehere I go now. Just wanted to let you know. I miss...
Steph, /community/emoticons/nono.gif Please don't tell me that you would stomp the crap out of me before going to dinner with me? I'm not that bad, come on! /community/emoticons/tongue.gif ...
Angel, Welcome to the site. There are a lot of good people here that will help you as much as they can. You say that you had at least 30 lesions on your brain when you had the MRI? That's about what...
Heather, Thanks. Glad I could help make you smile....
Hi there my friend. Good Tell your husband that we wish him the best and I hope you and him have a very safe and Happy Memorial Day weekend!...

Gary, I've done that and the other one is with my glasses, searched for them only to realize I was wearing them all the time! Talk about feeling dumb!...
I have an appoinment to see my Neuro on June 30th and I plan on talking to him about it since nothing else I have tried seems to work on me. Only thing is my appointment is more than a month away....
Ok gang, here's one: Have you ever gotten ready to go to work and after you were all ready you realized that it was your day off?...
Gretchen, I am sorry you took it that way. I didn't mean that anyone that has RRMS is lucky, I meant that they were lucky that they don't have PPMS. I don't think anyone that has any of the types of...
Michelle, I was on Copaxone just for a short while until I was diagnosed with PPMS. I used the pre-filled syringe and the autoinector, which I found nice to use, just don't put the setting to go to...
After being diagnosed with Primary Progressive MS and spending the last 20 Months being exhausted almost every day I must say to all of you that have Relapsing/Remitting MS that you are really lucky...
Karen, Thanks for the tip. I went there and joined that site also. It's awesome!...
Brian, She will probably feel a little sick the first few times she injects herself but again, that's normal. She may want to start injections just before bedtime so she goes right to bed and goes to...
Brian, Just make sure she doesn't set the "autoinject" so it goes too deep, I did that once and let me tell you, it was the last time I did it because "ouch" that hurt so bad as it went into my leg...
Hey Deel, I am 60 years old and check my BS three times a day. In the morning it is always around 150, then just before lunch it is around 130, then I check it again just before I eat dinner, around...
Brian It is a common thing to be scared when first diagnosed with this awful medical condition but just remember that she will need all the support that you can give her. Copaxone is a lot better...
Rhonda, Thanks my lovely friend. I wish I had more energy to be around more for the chats but I try to help my wife as much as I can because she does so much for me. She usually gets home around 5:00...
Well, it is April 10th and I have been out of the hospital for almost 6 weeks now and have been back to work for 3 weeks. Some of the effects that I had from having the Cytoxan Treatments were: What...
As you probably know by now there are 4 different types of MS. Now I'm not a doctor nor do I pretend to be, but if I were you I would go see a neurologist and tell him what you are saying here. If he...
Carol, Good luck to you and your daughter. Keep the Faith and we will continue to pray for her....
Candy, Good luck to you and your precious daughter! Let's hope everything turns out for the better! You are right, getting a doctor who will actually listen to what you are saying is so very...
Thanks girls, I appreciate your comments a lot. Jeannie I will read other posts when I can and yes, cytoxin or cytoxan I find is the same thing. It's actually given as an IV and I had to get 12...
LanieG, Funny you should ask because I was just treated with Cytoxin for my MS. I was also checked 3X a day for my blood sugar levels and because I was on an IV of Cytoxin they were always really...
Thanks LanieG...
Hi, my name is Chuck and I normally post on the Multiple Sclerosis board but I was recently in the hospital for treatment of my MS and they kept taking my blood-sugar levels and told me that I should...
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize...
mspartner, Please keep us posted on how things are going. We all care! Good luck to you and God Bless!...
Yikes! Even though I seem to feel a little better every day, I'm now losing what hair I had left on my head! Also, my blood-glucose level is pretty high, around 160 and I am hoping that is because of...
You may want to see someone like a Neurologist who is familiar with MS. Each person reacts different to MS but yours may be the MS hug. Like I said though, see a professional to know for sure. Good...
Another thing you may consider is going to the MS World Message Board and asking their lawyer if you have any recourse. Good Luck to you and God Bless you....
I think you can get a judge to make your husband carry you on his insurance plan so that you have benefits. Go talk to a good lawyer and ask. The first consultation should be free if they were any...
Hello to all of my friends. I feel as if I am getting better almost every day. It's just taken longer than I expected, probably because I am not very good at waiting for things any more. I do feel as...
Thanks for the info Gretchen. I was hoping he said that they have a cure for MS but alas, they don't yet....
Dianna, very good advice. Angela, just don't let MS ruin your life. Just because you have MS doesn't mean that you can't enjoy life and do lots of things you want to!...
It sure would be nice if it was just that easy wouldn't it?...
I am no longer on Avonex but the first night I also had shivers during the night. I didn't have the sweats though. I guess I was lucky because of the medication I was taking I never had many effects...
You are welcome. You will need to make an early appointment to see him. I had to get my neurologist here in Idaho to call him (My neuro here did his internship under him at Rush and stays in touch...
blueflygirl, Where are you from? If you are around Chicago, there is a great Neurologist at Rush Hospital (Dr. Stefosky) that specializes in MS. Just wondering....
Prayerworks, So sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I too have MS, actually I have been diagnosed with having PPMS. I have my Neurologist here in Idaho Falls and he took his internship at Rush...
Hi, I am also one with PPMS. I was in the hospital about 2 weeks ago for Cytoxin Treatments because I had them in Feb. of 2008 in Chicago and they seemed to help me a lot. My Neuro here in Idaho...
Welcome Elizabeth! You have found an awesome supportive sight!...
Katie, I also must have missed your last request on Baclofen. I have been on it for a little longer than a month and I take 10 mg three times a day and it seems to help me. Can't really tell you when...
You probably need to talk to a Neurologist if you can. That would probably be the best thing to do before he makes a decision....
Gretchen, Sunny and Rhonda Thanks for all of your kind words and all of your support! Happy Valentine's Day to my lovely friends! You girls are great and I love you to pieces!...
