Hi Judy,

Welcome to the group I hope you find the support and friendship you need

here with us. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis, I remember mine, you’re

right it’s not something you forget. I was kind of numb when my doctor told

me and just said “oh” and left without asking too many details. My husband

panicked though, he was on the Internet non stop for weeks and insisted on

me seeing a Rheumatologist. Thank goodness for him! Then when I realized I

got scared then angry I’m trying to accept it now but sometimes it is hard.

It’s good that you are seeing a Rheumatologist. I will pray that you find

the meds to help you feel better soon.

Hugs,

Heidi

You must be scared. I've had nerve problems from swelling in the hips and

knees, but thankfully not that bad yet. I do know it can happen, though.

Hopefully you won't have MS.

I will have you and Ron in my prayers, and keep us informed.

Sending much love,

Carol

[ ] Hi All

I have been off line for awhile--had a couple of bad falls over the

weekend, and not able to get up the stairs to our computer room.

Have an appointment with a specialist as all indications point to MS

in early stages, but one doctor thinks it is nerve problems from

swelling in the hip and knee joints. Been on large doses of Motrin

and sleeping (?) on the downstairs couch. Ron's been having trouble

getting his blood sugar regulated, so not very energetic either. But

we will overcome!!

Debs: Glad you're home, and I pray your recovery will be swift now.

Tess: Be sure and love the beautiful woman God created and be good

to yourself. Someone once asked me if I would consider suicide, and

when I said no, they said I was committing slow suicide with my poor

eating habits and overweight. I had tried everything for years, but

this really got my attention. Last year when I had a lumpectomy & 3

more tumors removed in 2 months, I decided that if God wasn't giving

up on me I wouldn't either. I still have sugar cravings, but it's

getting better. Maybe you could find a job as a church secretary--I

love doing that! I'll keep you in my prayers too.

Gotta go, need to lie down.

Love to all, and God bless,

Judi

Thanks for the hug, Carol--it must've worked! today is a much better

day for both me and Ron. His blood sugar was an all time high--a

whopping 85 fasting this morning! He bowled last night and felt

good. I just enjoyed relaxing, reading Jan Karon's " In This

Mountain. " Good book. I'm still waiting to hear the test results,

and I honestly don't think it's MS. At least that's what I want to

believe, so as Capt. Picard of Star Trek says, " Make it so! "

My daughter had another ultrasound today, and all 3 babies are

growing, good heartbeats, and she could see arms & legs! She's

battling nausea & low blood sugar, but feels better today too. I

want very much to be fit and able to help her when these babies are

born in March.

Thanks for the support from you and everyone else,

Judi

Thanks Judy! I dropped it back down and didn't have

any more headaches. Did it make you really tired?

Iris, I have been tired for about 7 yrs now(been dx'ed for6yrs).....I seldom

have a spurt of energy like I used to .I am one of those people who sleeps at

night with the help of some pills most nights...and still need a nap in the

afternoon most days....About the med....I had such horrific headaches I

stopped it immediately......and we have never tried it again...Judy in AZ

Dear Judy...Thanks for your reply. Due to the

headaches, I have not been able to get the level of

this medication high enough to help so I guess it is

not going to do what I need it to do. Hugs, Iris
