Sal, your mindset is genuinely how I have lived my whole adult life. Things have always rolled off my shoulders quite easily. This thing is so different every day, and although I'm an especially spontaneous soul, I'm also a meticulous planner. I don't know why, absolutely nothing ever comes together with the plans. I do take most everything in stride, in fact, perhaps a little too lightly, but this is simply sucking the life out of me.

Snoop, I was dx in '94 but it began in '80; the '94 attack actively lasted 22 months. I was on Beta for a few years and it was a disaster, interferons were ruled out for me. I've been on C for 6 years and it has almost directly conincided with the beginning of the aggressive progression. My neuro mentioned SP last fall and asked me to go get fitted for a power chair before I can't be sure of what is and is not a good fit. That was a little freaky, but I dealt with it.

Sue, I've also heard of those rare cases of tiny kids. It's just remarkable how this freakin' disease reaches so far and wide with no explanation.
