Re: New Member Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hi Rose,

I haven't had that experience but just to share a thought: Just because we have

MS doesn't mean we don't have other disorders..have you gotten checked out for

cardiac disease? Pain in jaw, radiating down neck and arm...wouldn't hurt to

check.

Again, my two pennies..

My name is Denene and I am a new member from Oklahoma. I have had

Chronic pain and diagnosed about a year ago. I have fallen off the

bike, onto pavement, and onto metal shelves that have books on them

at the library. I am in alot of pain and have tried Physical Therapy,

Epidernal Steriod Shots and etc with no results.

I am having on Tuesday a stimulator put on to see if this helps

witht he pain. It won't help 100% but will help some at least

possibly I was told. I would like to know if anyone else has had this

and results and pro's and con's with this!!!

Anyways, I have a service dog that helps me on bad days and even

good days with helping with daily activities, walking and balancing

and helping from me falling and if I do breaks the fall some. She

helps with other issues as well too. She is a Labrador

Retriever " Lady " . I have bad days like today was horrible! I live on

Loratab, Motrin (Prescription stength) and Flexril. I have pain in my

back then causes spasms down my legs to my feet and toes and alot of

times the feet and toes are completely numb or will tingle.

I am so excited to join this group. I will check messages as often

as I can. Tuesday I will go to no mail for a day or so while I

recupperate. I have a temporary stimulator put on and if it works and

I like how it feels and etc they will in a week take it off/out and

place it with a permanent one! The one on Tues I am limited for 1

week but after a couple days of resting and getting through the pain

of it being placed possibly then I will be back to mail till I get

the new one placed in and will be off line for awhile and will check

once in while what is happening but I am very limited 6 weeks with

the permanent one and will have to take it really easy for awhile.

Enough rattling I look forward to meeting you and being a

active partof the group!
