KateI am so sorry to hear that ugly old TN is back once again. It must be the time of season for us both, huh? I am not having the actual bad TN pain but I do have an aching on the left side that stretches the entire side of my face, ear, jaw.... that sort of thing. But not actual pain. I'm sorry you are getting hit with it. Along with your bad balance perhaps you are having an MS flare? I am sure you will enjoy your Christmas with all of your brood! How wonderful to have them all together. If your daughter does go further to a college for her masters it will be so hard on you. When Challis' husband was stationed in Watertown, NY I thought I would die. I was so lonely for her and my grandson. It was terrible.

I spent a fortune on postage because I mailed gifts and "specials' to my little grandson. We didn't get good, cheap deals on long distance then and the long, daily phone calls cost a bundle. lol None of my story helps you or solves your worry but I wanted to let you know I understand the feelings you are having. I have been thinking and worrying a bit about what I will buy for Christmas and what goodies I will make. I usually make old fashioned fudge and will probably do that again. For months I have been buying a little extra supplies so it won't hurt my budget quite as much. $1.99 is a good price for butter. I search and scour for coupons to save me a little on what groceries I buy. I get them from the newspaper and from several online coupon printing sites. love to you, Kate!

My balance has been off. I am also having a heck of a time with the trigeminal neuralgia. It has been zinging me big time!My update is that I am, as we all are, getting ready for Christmas/holidays. I hope to start baking cookies in about a week. I am wondering what butter prices are in different places--when on sale, it's $1.99/lb here. I did manage to use a coupon for a 5# bag of unbleached flour for .79; I was pretty happy about that. It's gonna be a tight squeeze financially for us, as I'm certain, most of us.

car NY state inspected, as though she lives in PA, her car is registered and insured in NY.

Isn't it terrible when you fall? The other day I feel twice. Once in the house, and once outside coming up stone steps. Fortunately, I wasn't hurt too badly, but did manage to bruise up one of my thighs on the steps.I am so glad you have a good new neuro. Listening is key. Also happy that she is going to do the MRI of your back.Thanks for your update, Margaret.love, KateTo: "MSersLife "

HI everyone, I went to see a new neurologist yesterday. She was very good. She listened to what I had to say. She is going to do an MRI of my back. She is going to look into getting me either a power chair or scooter. I really like her. I fell on Tuesday just before I left to drive down to Milwaukee. I was not hurt. I am just sore now. I am taking it easy today. Margaret A. Cote

Sharon,

I'm thinking it does have something to do with the season.. the

flares, the fatigue, the TN, loss of balance, falls.. (always

did hate television commercials that thought "trip into fall"

was a catchy sale phrase).. Hmm.. UTIs, Stasis, Cramping necks,

back, legs, fingers, toes, crossed eyes...

Did it ever occur to anyone that it actually does just suck to

be us on somedays? LOL and that it definitely does NOT pay to

get out of bed on those days...

Here's to hoping that all of these things will pass for all of

us within the near future..

I think I'll be making out my Will soon..

I'm going to will my frequent midnight oil bathroom runs to

someone who sleeps very well all night long with never moving a

muscle (like ).. at least for one or two nights...

I'm going to will my water retention AND body fat to that skinny

cute chick down the street that one sees out running from time

to time, but that the men see running all the time.. those she

can keep.. I'll just loan her the knees for one or two days..

I think I'd like to will my money troubles to someone like

Trump or Bill Gates... just long enough for them to pay

off all the bills..

and I'm sure I'll think of a few more things as the day

progresses.. LOL
