Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Dear I'm glad that you have such good medical care and that the babies are doing fine. Pregnancy usually means that 'your body comes last, babies come first', so you have to rest as much as you can. I was started on an antihypertensive at about week 14 of 's pregnancy due to high BP and I became borderline hypo around the same time. Fortunately I didn't get any other serious symptoms and the BP settled down to a good level for the remainder of the pregnancy. I'm still on the medication at present and I hope to come off it slowly - soon. I was really scared that I would develop pre eclampsia towards the end - thank God I didn't. I do know that at the time of diagnosis I had lots of stress and it was really necessary for me relax and 'de-stress' as much as I could. I'm sure this made a difference. Hopefully your current problems will also get better and you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy without too much worry.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hi! Haven't written in a while so today is the day! At one time I wrote to Dan regarding taking Ampyra. I did try it, but unfortunately, it did nothing for me except make me have headaches and much annoying tingling in my legs. Later, I learned that it helps patients in early stages and not for secondary progressive. I've had MS for 10 years and have been on Avonex. I probably had symptoms for 7 years, but it was not diagnosed. I am taking more vitamin D, like 2200 IU. In my family we have 3 adult kids. Two work for Caterpillar and one works in Des Moines, IA. and wife have 2 sons, Caleb 7, and Connor, 5. and have Adam ,3, and , 4 mo. My youngest daughter, , and husband, , in Des Moines just learned that her baby due in Aug. is a girl . My two oldest live within a 20 drive so I do get to babysit and see them. I do have to reprimand the boys not to play with the brakes on my walker or treat it like a toy. The whole family walks in the MS Walk in Sept. , and I ride my scooter. I used to volunteer for it, but I really wanted to be with the family so now I scoot along. Well that's enough for today! I'll write more later.Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
