DebbieD - I have been on Copaxone for 2 1/2 years now. I have not had any problems other than the typical injection site reactions - some good, some not so good. During my 1st year of diagnosis I had serial flares like crazy. MS want to make sure I knew it was there and there to stay. LOL. Now my 2nd year the flares started to decrease and I had no new lesions in a year. That was great news. So far this year (knock on wood) I have only had 2 flares and 1 possible flare. That is a record for me and I think it is due to the C.

B2Y - Oh, I wish I was closer to give you a big hug. It will be a bittersweet day. Similar to Frank, MS came on like a bad storm for me. MS decided it for me.

Kelly - I have had TN only twice. Since it is nerve pain I am not sure that the baclofen will work on it. If it does let us know so I can remember that for - I don't want to say the words. For me, I have found that any type of nerve pain responds well to some mild heat and then ice right after - 10 minutes of each. However, most of my nerve pain is in my ribs due to a lovely spinal lesion. The area is easier to ice.

I do hope that you start feeling better soon.

Sarah - Walks are great!!! The mornings have cooled down tremendously here so I have been able to start walking again. I take a 15 to 20 minute walk twice a day if I can. It feels so good!!!!

I understand if you need to spend more time with the kids as you can never get time back. Enjoy!

Kay - Yummy, Yummy, Yummy! You lunch sounds so good! I am glad you had a good day.

Frank & Deb - Absolutely beautiful! It was sweet of Frank to do that and I am glad you enjoyed it Deb.

Sandy - Wishing you luck helping your mom. I do hope it goes well. Additionally, still saying prayers for your brother.

Vonn - Got the Avon book and I tried ordering Patrick Dempsey online but couldn't find it. LOL. He is just adorable. He is one of DD17's favorite actors.

Hi to everyone else I may have missed [insert Frank's generic statement]. I hope you all have a great day.
