Hi All,

First I will tell a little about myself, I am a male, single father, I have just turned 51 years old, own my own home outright, divorced now for 15 years, have 2 boys 31 and 18 years of age, the 18 year old lives with me, right now he is a Freshman in college. I live in northwestern Pennsylvania...... I have only dated about 6 women in the past 15 years and that was MY choice as I basically have devoted my life to raising my son, working, taking care of him and the house with very little time for anything dating related.....so that is why I am single.....

I work full time as a printer with sometimes a lot of overtime also, have my medical insurance paid for by my job and myself in a copay. Only a few people that I can trust at work knows of my recent plight and I do not plan on telling anyone else there if I don't have to.

I am new to this board but not new to my diagnosis. I've had symptoms that became ongoing since Nov 2005, after a bunch of MRI's and othert tests I was loosly dianosed in July 2006 but my neurologist wouldn't confirm it until he went through a few more MRI's and he finally confirmed it the day after Christmas 2006. Just a few people know of this as my symptoms are not relevant to anything I do and also not outwardly visable to any one, (blurred and sudued vision, burning and redness of eyes, numbness all over the body, dizzyness, some fatigue and some cog issues at times). MOST of the time I am ok with this and have gotten used to it but other times it is a struggle. I started out with Copaxone last February but didn't do well on it and then switched to Rebif in October and so far so good!!

Currently we are in the middle of winter up here in Erie, Pa and I SO hate it, depresses me so much, I can't wait for the spring!!.......:-)

Well, I just found this board today and signed up, I see a bunch of the same names that are on MSWorld so I put this link in my favorites and will stop back from time to time to see what is going on............so until then, HI Everyone!!
