Erin, I understand not being able to stand and walk easily, for that is my present problem.
Mine is not oparticularly from MS, it's from taking Interferon to try to deal with Polycythemia Vera. I've had neuropathy in my feet for five years, and that has been painful and caused me to wear wide padded shoes, and it caused me to fall down the stairs and break my knee last spring. But this neuropathy got extremely worse on INF,
my only real side-effect to it. So I had to stop it. I don't know if there is anything left to take to deal with PV. But I too may see another doctor, one at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. It's really hard for me to travel but my son will take me to the plane if I try to go. I have a friend in Phoenix with this disease, and she will pick me up; she too has
"autoimmune disease", probably Lupus, but of mixed and not understood variety.

I know what you mean, Erin, nothing's good about your present symptoms. I wish I knew how to send a valentine as Sally did. What a pretty Valentine! Thanks, Sally!
