THREAD INTERRUPTION/HIJACK/WHATEVER YOU CALL IT -

BETH!!! How are you? So glad to see you posting.

Back to Kelly's thread . . . (Sorry Kelly)

Hey, Beth! How in the world are you? I saw your other post in Social Chat and posted there but just saw this one. I hope you'll continue to visit here...we missed you!

definitely balance/gait. I have cried over it too.

I know.....this one is the most annoying for me on some days, too. I get so aggravated that I cannot just walk a straight line. I see someone jump out of their car and trot into the grocery store and wonder what that feels like.

No kidding. I don't "jump" out of anything and I haven't trotted in years.
I live in fear of cops stopping my car and giving me the drunk test. I don't even drink, but couldn't pass that test to save my life...

the only time I jump is when I am jumping to conclusions!

This is a tough one. I would have to say the symptom I would most want to get rid of would be the inability to urinate. I'm going to see my PCP Friday about it. I've had it off and on for years, but the past week it's gotten really bad.

Some nights I'll use the bathroom, say, at 7 pm. I'll try again at 9 pm and just before bedtime at 1 am with no urine. I feel the need but nothing comes out. This morning I awoke at 7 and I was finally able to go--12 hours after my last pee.

I have to say the burning feet and legs every two hours like a clock, even when sleeping it wakes me up.

It hurts like a bandit, like a hot poker inside my legs and feet. Or that my legs are in hot oil. It sure takes you down a notch fast. Then it subsides in a 1/2 hour only to return again in about two hours.

I have seen every type of specialist for this. They test, but not one can help. I know Montel Williams complains of this one too. Talk about wanting to cry.

This one has not been helped by any medication, or even the CCSVI procedure, which was one of my big hopes/wants. It may disappear yet, but I am thinking nerve damage after having MS for over 30 years.

But I have hope, and I pray, that someday the pain and heat of it will disappear.

anyone with bms have any tricks for the pain, esp the lips....crazy bad pain!!!! also, anyone try lyrica??? and if so what dosage if any effect....thanks.....scared to death!!!

I may be having a duh moment, but what is bms??
