Natalie! Whatchu doing shooting above your navel? Baaaad girl! No wonder it hurt like heck!!!

Sounds like you've got plenty to deal with on top of your MS. Are you taking an antidepressant? The problems remain, but it seems you are more able to cope with a little "help."

Have you tried an MS support group?

I was dxd just a year ago. I took the plunge right away and attended everything I could. Tamiloo and Olhipie signed on with a support group, Common Ground, that takes them skiing and other fun stuff. It is free for MSers.

I've attended NMSS sponsored dinners that had great speakers and workshops free of charge. DH and I went rafting last year (also free) and attended a baseball game with the grandkids that was very inexpensive, thanks to NMSS. (Not counting the parking ticket I got, Lol!)

I was going to go on an MS walk this spring to pay back some of what I've received, but then I broke my ankle. Now I'm bicycling, trying to get in shape to participate in one of the fundraisers.

There's got to be something where you are! I recommend you get involved so you can meet other people like yourself. It really helps to know you are not alone.

Hugs to you, Natalie! I hope things get easier for you to handle.
