Hi Nina,

Welcome to our community. I'm not on that medication but many here are...or were, so I'm sure that they'll chime in with some information.

Sorry to learn that you aren't getting better compensation; and perhaps better medical attention as well. That truly makes everything more challenging.
Do you have an MS neurologist?

With love, Erika

Welcome here to NeuroTalk and welcome home Nina. After 24 yrs,
you'd think that our Military could do better than a lousy 30%,
especially since you gave them 100%, while you were well.:rolleyes::mad:...
Booooo on them.

Are you on the 20mg every day Copaxone or the new 40mg 3
times per week? I was on it years ago and had no bad sx from
it, but only stayed on it about 10 mos, since it wasn't working
for me.

Depression & Anxiety are sx of MS. Talk to your Doc about
adding a good (SSRI) anti depressant/anti anxiety med to
your arsenal.

Glad you're here with us.:hug:

Good evening. I have Fybromylgia and have been struggling with symptoms that my dr says are un related. Have been looking into MS symptoms and have been to several Nuro apps with no results.

Welcome to our MS commmunity Cdimaio,

We have lots of info here on MS, symptoms, experiences, support etc. Hope that you find some answers.

With love, Erika

Welcome Cdimaio, nice to meet you.:)

Confused......
 

Hello everyone! My name is April and I was officially diagnosed with MS yesterday after the many frustrating tests I had to go through. I'm 32 and completely confused with the whole diagnosis. I've been having so many mixed emotions and thoughts about it. Not knowing what's to come and how it will affect the life of my husband, two handsome baby boys, and myself.

Hi April and welcome to the forum. I'm sorry you have to be here but there are lots of members who will offer you lots of good advice....or just a listening ear when you need to vent.

When you get tired of talking about MS go on over to The Stumble Inn. That's where the MS forum members go to talk about everything except MS! :D Here's the link......http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum102.html.

Welcome to our community April :hug:.

Hope that you find some answers and for sure you will recieve support here. Take each day at a time. At first it is easy to become overwhelmed with all of the information available from a variety of sources.

Try not to project too far into the future. The course of MS is different for everyone and many have had the diagnosis for a very long time, yet have little progression while others can be diagnosed and have their lives turned up side down from there on out.

It is good to keep track of your symptoms and to take steps to manage them, but to also live your life, remaining as active as possible.

With love, Erika

Hello April, nice to meet you.:) Oh to be 32 again:p, with no MS, of

I do not have MS, but my Grandson has just been diagnosed with it. He's 27 and just got married, bought a new house, has a great job after going to college and then boooooom Life changing disease hits him. He just fell on a ramp and broke his ankle and had surgery today. He has a lot of trouble with his eyes. So far they are not getting any better but gradually getting worse. He can't drive. His place of employment are very empathetic and love Justin so they bought him bigger screens for his computer so he could continue to work. Bless his heart, he still always has a smile. Does anyone have any suggestion on how they made their eye sight better??? Thank you. Blossom25
