Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hi Kathy:I'm so glad to see you posting! Please keep it up What symptoms led to your diagnosis? And what symptoms are you having now? You have a lot on your plate between your job, your kids and your hanging-around-ex-hubby, don't you? Life does throw us some curve balls. I think it's so we don't get bored! lol Sharonhttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/MSersHEALTH/This email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Kathy, Hello, I'm an elementary art teacher in Michigan. I've had MS for 7 years and you're right, it is a matter of trudging along day to day. I've found I have to be a real strategist about what I can handle physically as far as classroom managment and what I can have the kids do independently. But it's still mentally exausting for sure. Fifth grade, that's a nice age level. I enjoy the fifth grade students I have, I can relax a bit with them because they're able to handle art materials as compared to the younger grades (at least most of them!) I'm glad this group is helping you adjust, I like it too, I just wish I had more time to participate. Oh well, they're very patient! Look forward to talking with you!

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Sharon, Yes my plate is full and I often don't don't eat it all! Last year about ths time the whole left side of my body went kind of numb. My GP sent me to a Nuerologist. He quite quickly did a spinal thing and an MRI. I have 10 " spots' on my brain and 3 on my spine. I have had all kinds of stuff since then. Balance problems, spasticity, no feeling in feet and legs, LeHermm.(sp), bladder and bowel funkiness, but the worst is the brain fog. It seems as one symptom leaves, another appears! Right now I have tingly arms, and brain fog. The funny thing is none of the DRs ever said anything about the brain fog. I thought I was going CRAZY. -- In MSersLife , Sharon wrote: > > Hi Kathy: > > I'm so glad to see you posting! Please keep it up > > What symptoms led to your diagnosis?

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Welcome aboard, Kathy!! If you found that sanity on this list, you better throw it out fast! LOL How long have you been teaching? Have you always taught fifth grade? LOL, I bet it is a chore. And I bet that's not always something to laugh about. <gg> It's very ncie to meet you! ) Challis ~Daughter of Sharon; No dx for me yet; Mother of four ( 21, 17½, Jenna 8 and Maya 4½); Married to and living in Arizona.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Kathy, Oh yeah, I can see that but generally I myself don't get too annoyed until they are the sixth grade. Hormones and all that. That's interesting, I teach upper el kids in the morning and lower el kids in the afternoon because the lower el does their "project read" in the morning. I find it doesn't matter who I teach in the afternoon, kids after lunch tend to be "scattered" in general. I teach out in "the sticks" as we call it. My school district consists of three little towns and several of my students live on farms. I was diagnosed a year before I got my job so I've been teaching the whole time with MS. At first I didn't want anyone to know I had it, I guess I viewed it as a weakness and I certainly didn't want anyone to think I couldn't do my job. Now most of the kids know I have MS and I've met several parents who also have it and they're supportive. But I'm considering a change too. The high school art teacher is retiring and I have the opportunity to move to secondary. I think it would be easier on me physically but I love teaching elementary. We'll see I guess. What are you considering changing to? Amy Hi Amy Fifth grade is ok, It is all I've ever taught. At the same school, for 11 years. I am in an "inner city" school with a lot of very low kids. Some days I love it and some days it is horrible. It sounds like your school has some good kids- all of the special activities teachers dislike teaching the fifth graders because they are so unruly. They do teach them in the afternoon and complain that the kids are "done" by then. But we have three end of grade tests in the fifth grade and use the am for "instructional" time. At least so I am told. So you have been diagnosed for 7 years. Have you taught the whole time? Kathy>> > Kathy,> Hello, I'm an elementary art teacher in Michigan.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yes, it does make sense. ) I think you have quite enough going on right now, too.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi Kathy, My name is Valene (Val). I've been away from the group for a little while, so it's going to take a few days to catch up with everyone. I am so glad you are a part of our group. I hope you find it to be as much of a help to yourself as it is to the rest of us here. We are a very friendly bunch and very close. I'm 48yrs. young, a mother to 4 bio and 7 step children. My husband and I are grandparents to 14 grandies. I'm a nanny to a very beautiful 2 1/2 yr. old little girl. My husband is the assistant chief of police of a university. We live here, in North Carolina. Who knows...we could be neighbors <smile>. I was dx'd 20+ years ago after being symptomatic for several years. I'm not on any of the treatments at this time. I know I should be, but it's a financial issue. I have just recently gone into remission after being ill for quite some time. I know what you mean about living on your own after so many years. I left my ex-husband also after being dx'd. Not right away, but not long after. I was on my own for several years, and though it was not always easy, I found it rewarding on so many levels. I remarried last year. I'm still trying to decide if that was what was best for me. I guess time will tell. I do love my hubby though and I really can't imagine what it would be like without him now. I hope all goes well for you and you are blessed with your new found freedom. Love and blessings...

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Well good luck to you! That is a major step, and you should be proud of yourself for having the courage to take it (I almost said the guts lol...) Sounds like they'll give you all the support you'll need, but if you ever need a wee bit more, feel free to ask... Hugs Akiba -- Hello Long time no email from me! Thought I would say hello in case you all thought I had fallen off the edge of the earth! I couldn't find the edge, so I just turned around and came home. Well, my weight has gotten the best of me. I had surgery on my left knee in February of 2004. It has really been bothering me again, only its not because of the same reason. This time it's my weight. So......I went down and joined LA Weight Loss. Today is my first of two days of basically doing a body cleanse. The had to come up with a special plan just for me because of the meds we all take! I got to speak with a certified nutritionast and doctor so that we could come up with a plan that would suit my needs and also be safe for me. I am my largest ever in my life and I thought, "wouldn't it be a wonderful suprise for my hubby when he came home in November if I were healthier and a lot lighter?" So I did it. Today has not been bad, just trying to ignore those cravings for chocolate and anything with sugar in it! Wow, those are powerful cravings! But I've been a very good girl. I am ashamed to say that I am 100 pounds overweight I went from a size 16 to a size 24 in a year. My goal is to lose that 100 pounds and get down to a size 14 at least. The girls at the store said losing 100 pounds is going to put me in a smaller size than 14, but I didn't want to have an unrealistic goal. So, if I get smaller than that, then it will be a bonus. I need to get healthier. I truly believe that better eating habits and shedding a lot of this weight will make me feel tons better! I know for sure my self esteem will rise. I hate the way I look and am gonna fight to change that. I also believe that doing this will improve things with my marriage. Although no longer complains about my weight, I feel like I'm an embarrasment to him. Who really wants to take a whale out to dinner? My depression has spiraled out of control due to going back on the Rebif, going to Kuwait, and my weight. So I have set out to fix the major contributing factor to all of this which is my weight. Sorry to bore you all to death! I just wanted to share in case any of you have been thinking about doing something to get healthier as well. I will keep you all updated as to my progress. I kept a pair of skinny jeans and will get them out of the box so I can look at them everyday. When I can wear them, I will take a pic and share with you all! Peace, love, joy and blessings to the group. Tammy, Tx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
