The beta interferons didn't work for me so I had mitoxantrone and that put me into remission and I have had stable mri's for almost four years now and walk and hike with no problems. Most serious problems are fatigue, bladder, pain and spacticity.

I am looking after my MIL who has dementia right now, she is living with my husband and I, and that has taken up all of my energy and time. And sometimes my smiles.

But otherwise, life is pretty good, I like to garden, hang with grown children, play with my dog, and generally enjoy this beautiful life I have been given.

Thanks Cheryl for hooking me up to this forum! And I look forward to meeting my old friends and making new ones.

Sandra found us!! I remember you. I always enjoyed your posts. I hope you have time to spend with us every now and then.

We are in similar situations right now. My grandmother just moved in with us because she is suffering from dementia. It is so sad and hard to watch someone struggle with dementia. There are things that happen that just make me cry because it isn't right that her mind should be taken from her.
