Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 PROKARIN? Subject: Hi I would first like to express my thanks at being a part of the group. A little about me. I was diagnosed with MS in July 2005. I was going through a separation and divorce at the time and had just started a new career and new job as an ER nurse.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Kerri, I feel for you and hug you .....:-) As you I was diagnosed and had no symptoms. I knew nothing about MS, and my doctor knew even less. She had the balls to call me in the evening and advise me that I had MS from the MRI that I had done a week or so before. When I asked her what this meant she had no idea. So I did some reading. I will suggest that you read the books my Montel . They are informative as well as inpsiring. Being as I never did have an attack prior to being diagnosed, I had no idea what to expect and the docs that I was seeing could also not tell me what to look for. On the night of my 41st birthday I had my first attack. I thought that it was just a nasty head ache, but I soon learned that it was not. The pain was so intense that it felt like someone had a needle stuck through my eye to the back of my head. It hurt so much that I was moaning and groaning in my sleep. When I finally got out of bed, I threw-up from the pain. It was nasty. I even then thought nothing of it. I still thought that it was head ache. I took a couple of Tylenol and hit the sofa to try and fall back asleep as I did not wanna keep my spouse up all night....when he got up to go to work in the morning I realized that I had fallen asleep through the night. The pain was gone but I was not feeling too good. I then noticed that my face, lips and tongue were numb. Yep I had an attack. I went to the Emergency and sat there for 6 hours. Then I met a wonderful doctor who specializes in MS patients. He put me on Prednizone...4 doses (one dose for 4 consecutive days) by intervenous. I seemed to bounce back quite quickly but did notice that I had some very dizzy spells. We call them MS Moments in our house. I was then on the road to recovery until July, when I had another attack. I was walking through walmart on a sunday afternoon and knew that something was going on because I was having issues with my right leg, and sure enough I was having another attack. This one effected the whole right side of my body, but this time there was no headache like the time before. My gate was gone. As I was on holidays I rested a lot and decided to not go to the lake. Instead I stayed home and rested and rested. There were days that I did not get out of bed to do anything. Once again my doc put me on Prednizone. I love that stuff as it sure helps in getting me back on my feet. When I was sick in July I was having serious issues walking and had fallen a few times, so I needed the aid of a cane. I hate the damn thing but it does help some times. I have found that when I consume products with Nutri sweet or Splenda that it does effect how I feel. So I avaoid them all together. It is better to have a glass of nomal coke or pepsi. The only symptoms that I have today is the left side of my torso and leg are hypersensitive. Being as I did not feel well enough to shower in the mornings as I thought I would fall over, I figure I am doing ok. I KNOW that stress plays a big part of it. A HUGE part. I think that the reason I had my attack in July is because I bought a new car, and was freaked out to have payments....crazy huh????? As times goes on you are going to have to rely on your hubby for support. I know my hubby drinks too much also so I can relate. I grew up with alcoholics an I prefer not to drink to a stupor. My grandfather died in an accident because of it so I hate it. My thought is always: I have MS, but it don't got me!!!!!!!! (Think postitive and good things will come of it!!) As I am new to this group also I thought that I might lend a bit of history and advice to you. 1. Eat healthy. It is not always easy and I wish I could always practice what I preach. 2. If you are over weight loose some weight...and again with this I wish I could and would practice what I preach. 3. Have YOU time...even if it is in bed reading. Save some time out of each day for you. 4. Meditate: Trust me it does the body good. 5. Take care of yourself, cuz no one else will. Your body is your temple and treat it as such. Lather some lotion on yourself after a nice warm bath, you deserve it!!!!! 6. No matter how bad it gets, you will get better. 7. If you need someone to dump on ......send me an email....:-) Hope that all of this helps.........................my birthday is less than a month away so I am wondering what to expect this year!!! Your friend with MS, Hi I would first like to express my thanks at being a part of the group. A little about me. I was diagnosed with MS in July 2005. I was going through a separation and divorce at the time and had just started a new career and new job as an ER nurse. I wasn't sure how this diagnosis would affect me. I was immediately put on Rebif injections and thankfully have not has a relapse since I got out of the hospital. I was always an active person, and I still am. I think that is one of my problems, I don't know when to stop. Luckily I learned and at least changed my job. I quit working in the ER and went to work for a home health agency. I am now a case manager and work in the office except for the one weekend every other month I have to work on call and go out. I haven't been sick as much since. The first year when I was in the ER I had bronchitis 9 times and pneumonia 5, strep 3 and viral gastritis once, and that was from October to January. I have since gotten remarried, I was talking to someone when I went into the hospital and our first face to face meeting was in the hospital when he came to see me. I guess what is hardest for me is I have lived in a little bit of denial. I know I have MS but I haven't taken it as seriously as I should have. I am 35 and feel fine except for getting dizzy going up stairs. And now I am a little scared. I feel ok but I am worried because my husband is an alcoholic and I wonder what is going to happen when he kills his liver or what will happen the day I have a relapse and pass out at home and he can't do anything because he is passed out. Again I want to thank everyone for the warm welcomes and wishes. And I want to return those warm wishes. Kerri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Amit, My understanding is that brown rice and quinoa are OK. Also, if you are able to buy wheat and gluten free bread where you live. It doesn't taste very good though. Check out the Multiple Sclerosis Resource Center website and links to the Best Bet Diet, which will go into more detail. Here is a link to it: http://www.ms-diet.net/msdiet/faq/index.php#nonglutenlist > > HI EVERYONE > I AM ON LDN 4.5 MG . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 SORRY! I too have MS but it doesn't have me! Here is a Web site that I go to which is good for all of us in the world of Multiple Sclerosis -- www.patientslikeme.com ... there are a number of people suffering also to communicate our problems with at this site, they love to hear from everybody about MS and you don't have to be able to type correctly, everybody in the Web site has MS so spelling and typing aren't on the top of our lists. Please pass it on to other sufferers and their caregivers, it is free and the more the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
