Hey, cocoa, sorry to hear about the neuro, but it sounds like my story. Remember my 8 years until diagnosis. I've heard it also. Well, they weren't sure about all the symptoms and I was sent to...
Hi guys, Annie, that is what I thought about the weather. I really didn't think it got that cold there. We can get down to minus 30 celcius in the winter here but that doesn't last too long. But it...
Hey, there, cocoa, don't do anything rash, ha ha. I don't want you going to jail or anything like that. I am doing a little better today. We had a holiday yesterday for New Brunswick days so all...
Hi, cocoa, boy I pity that neuro, ha ha. He is going to get an ear full. Wow. Thanks for the web site. I also am going to do some research at it. I am going to look up this esophageal spasm that they...
Oh, my gosh, that was beautiful, I honestly have tears in my eyes right now. My parents are both very much alive and well but I so feel your heartbreak and that you miss them. I don't know what I...
Hi there. Fantastic. As I told you before, it took me years to get a diagnosis and thinking I was crazy. You get to a point where you start to think that you are a hypochondriac or you think the...
Wow, isn't that the truth. I think cancer is so horrible. We with MS have a lot to deal with but when you see people going through the cancer treatments, it gives me a feeling of such gratefulness...
Now, cocoa that is what I am talking about . That was really good. You need to put things and feelings down on paper. Hey, I am on disability pension, so what. There is life after that you know....
Hey, cocoa, keep trying to write your poems. No matter what. Keep trying. It is the effort that matters. And every day you can go back over them and do revisions if you want. But never give up. You...
Hi cocoa, just hang in there. I started having symptoms in 1990 and the neuro told me that my symtoms were just not "text book" MS so after 8 years of not sure MS and many tests, I had 2 MRI's one in...
Thanks Rhonda, it sure helps to have a place to let loose sometimes. It is so frustrating to have some issues and not have the doctor listen and understand. Man sometimes I could scream. But anyway,...
Hey cocoa, I have to laugh. I too had the hot flushes etc but my doctor turned me on to soy milk every day and black cohosh tablets. I am hot flush free. Since about 1 year now. Also about the neuro,...
Hi Dale, sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. It has been a rather rough couple of days. the pain is around my ribs and into my back. I am having a tough time just breathing properly. I...
Now that is funny. My sister also lives in Geary. Just down from the Race track actually. And I live on the main road of Burton about 7 kms from the bridge. Those people in Geary really do like to...
Thanks for your help anyway, it is nice to hear that someone else is going through this and it is not just in my head. ha ha. I hope the doctor can figure it out also. At least now I have an idea of...
Hi, Dale, yes, the neuro I had before this one was Dr. McKelvey. He was fantastic and I hated to see him go to Halifax but I understood why. But he really knows his stuff and we need him where he can...
Thank you so much for your input. It helps to know that. My GP isn't really up on MS but he is a lot easier to talk to that my neuro and I think when I have symptoms I will just deal with them myself...
Hi, Dale, yes I was diagnosed in 1999 after a nine year battle of trying to get the doctors to believe that something was wrong. Finally after 2 MRI, one in February of 1999 and one in October of...
I was diagnosed in 1999 with RRMS and then in 2002 with SPMS. I have recently found this site while looking up MS hug. I was so upset all day after receiving a phone call from my neurologist, who was...
Ok here is one for the books. I have been in and out of the hospital emergency room twice now for chest pain, tightness in my chest, pain in my back so bad I was thinking I was having a heart attack,...
