Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 hi sharon and everyone,thank you so much for your warm welcome to the group. i knew that when i signed up i would experience a nice casual approach to our struggles with ms from the description of your list, sharon. i was looking for something different that let us be who we are in being able to talk about the entirety of our lives, not just the part that ms touches (and tries to ruin for us!). so far i have read about frank's birthday, dana's trip, and other so-called "unimportant" things. i know i am more than my ms, and it's good to find a group that lets me address my whole life, not just bits of it. i look forward to talking to all of you.i am a 46 year old woman with two children, david who's 24, and a six year old girl named lily. i am not married but back with my ex husband after 11 years apart. i have a pugzu named rosie who is only 12 weeks old. i was diagnosed four years ago and also have rheumatoid arthritis. i am also bipolar and have been hospitalized wih it in the past. i read an awful lot- like laurell k. hamilton at the moment, but read a lot of classics, too. i write and perform poetry. i am on disability (ssdi). i type all lower-case because of the arthritis it's too hard to shift key all the time. my symptoms are numerous from swallowing problems to severe spasticity all over my body and a weak body that has trouble staying moving, sitting, and just being upright! i still do all those things, but pay with severe pain and a lot of fatigue. i also experience numbness and tingling, numb on my left side, tingly on my right, even my face. i am prone to serious depressions, which i fight all th e time. ms is not my friend. i see a million doctors and am on as many drugs.so, this is me. hope you guys are cool with me and again, i look forward to hanging out with "y'all" as we say in tulsa, oklahoma!annetteSharon wrote: I would like to extend a warm welcome to our newest member here at MSersLife!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi Annette!~ So glad to have you with us. Sounds like you're gonna fit right in. Yes, the majority of us do have MS. Some of us don't. But, we welcome all those who think they may have, or know someone who does. My name is Val. I was Dx'd 20+ years ago. Started out like most RRMS does, but as the years have come and gone, the MS has progressed. More relapses and not so many remissions. And like you, I battle with the depression that MS brings. But, I keep fighting the battle. I am so glad you are with us. Not so happy that you have MS. But, we all know that we are a lot more than the MonSter. Here, we are a lot more like family, with real family issues. I hope you find all the information and support you are looking for. Love and blessings...
