Dedra,

How are you and nice to see you over here!

I am sorry things aren't moving along for Chris as he and you would like them to. I know how darned hard it was for me to WAIT and wonder if I was actually having results or if it was all wishful thinking on my part when something seemed better.

I finally decided that since I wasn't having serial relapses and no ongoing symptoms, it was working the way it was meant to and I relaxed. It really wasn't until I saw my 6 months MRI and went for my eye tests that I SAW clinical proof to back up what I was actually feeling! I hated questioning my own mind and wondering if it was just wishful thinking! I am usually so decisive and positive! ( Grrrr at MS doing THAT to me!)

This has been the longest I have been without a relapse since diagnosis and I am loving it! If it wasn't for the ongoing spazz and stiffness stuff I would swear it was gone. I am not sure if part of it is positive thinking or what, but I can't argue with the clinical testing results.

Has Chris had a relapse since he started? Has he ( or you) noticed anything that seems better than it was? Even just being able to balance my checkbook was a BONUS for me, because of all the cognitive difficulties I was having. I figure every little improvement is a victory for me.

I hope it all works out for Chris ( and for you, Mom!) Tell him to come on over and say hello to us here!
