Hi Everyone,

Let me introduce myself. Found this site through a thread on MSW. I was a member there for the last 3 years.

I was dx'd in Nov 2004 after a bout of ON. Did experience L'Hermittes in 2002, but they thought it was from Harrington rods I had put into my spine in 1980 for scoliosis. They removed the rods and I went for another couple years until my next exacerbation and then diagnosis. (Actually, one cool fact - Dr. Andrew Cappuccino performed that surgery - the doctor who operated on Kevin Everett - the Buffalo Bills player paralyzed in a game - who now walks - his story was on Oprah this week - cool, huh?)

I was on Tysabri to start (2 infusions before it was pulled from the market), then Avonex for 14 months, now on Rebif (twice a week). Last MRI showed I'm stable. That's a good thing. I quit my job in October and now I just stay home and take care of my husband, two daughters (18 and 20) and my two kitties.

I enjoy this site and look forward to participating.

Pam
