Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 n, Shirley, Anne, nne, Val and everyone, Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. It's very appreciated. It's so strange, virtually nothing will happen for years and then bam! It happened this way when I was dxed seven years ago. My grandmother and cousin died two months before my diagnosis. My mom still believes my grandma's death brought on the relapse that got me diagnosed with MS. I do too actually. We're going to take it one day at a time though and we are going to make the time left very enjoyable for my dad. Hopefully, we will be ok. Hugs to everyone, Amy Amy, if anyone can get together for a group- wide "pull" for you and your family, it is the folks in this group. Love to each of you from me, and highest hopes en route. Keep on posting to us, please. n, who is glad that you chose to tell us all this--this, too, is part of your life. . . Bad News Hi all, I have to tell people I know would listen and understand. I got some really bad news today from my neuro who happens to be my dad's doctor too. My dad has been having these problems for a while with balance and muscles twitching. So he was referred to my neuro by his general doctor and she's sent him for an MRI and other tests. Well, I had an appointment with her today and I knew if I needled her enough she would tell me what was wrong with my dad. I've had this doctor for 4 years and we are very open with each other so don't take this as she's speaking out of turn. My dad and my family do not feel angry at her for what she told me today. But my dad has Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis aka Lou Gehrig's Disease. She gives him 5 to 6 years. My poor mom, who just found out her sister is dying now has to deal with this too. It's just so awful and menacing. My MS became rvery small when she told me this. I feel so bad. I'm sorry to burden everyone but we sure could use some prayers. We need all the good thoughts we can get. Amy Get fantasy football with free live scoring. Sign up for FanHouse Fantasy Football today. Get fantasy football with free live scoring.
