Guest guest Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi Jen,.....WELCOME to our family. :-) One thing to remember is everyones MS progresses differently than the other. Or it doesn't progress at all. I was told I probably had it in 1981, I was 31 then, and other than some weakness on my right side and a short hosp. stay so they could figure out what was going on, I went for many years being as active as I could. I played tennis, walked miles, and taught an art class at my kids school for 4 years. The biggest symptom I dealt with was the fatigue. It would come and go back then, and I did have some pain. But I was also dx'ed with Fibromyalgia too. and that causes fatigue and pain. It wasn't until 14 years later I got a definite dx of MS. And even then it was classified as Transverse Myelitis, and thats when I met Sharon our group leader. So what I am saying is what you experience may be similar to what one of us experience too at any given time, but yours might not progress the same or at all. As n calls it MS=MULTIPLE SURPRISES is soooo true. :-) Get to know us, and ask lots of questions, there's bound to be someone here that has an answer for you. We aim to help as much as we can. :-) Hugs and Love, Jackie from Oregon May the peace of God be with you...the love of Jesus enfold you...and the Spirit of Christ fill you. Subject: new memberTo: MSersLife Date: Friday, October 8, 2010, 12:03 PM Hi everyone, I was just diagnosed with MS and I just don't know what to think..I have heard some hopeful stories and some not so hopeful ones....I hope to connect with others who are going through the same things. I am 35, I am a Health Care Aide at a small nursing home. I have 3 teenage children ( 2 boys, 16 and 15, and a step daughter, 13). My hubby and I have been together for 6 yrs. We were both previously married. he has been really great. but neither of us has any experience with this...........
