Hi there Whoopde! Welcome to NT. I'm glad you finally got a diagnosis....sorry it was MS. We've got a great group here and we support and encourage each other regardless of what kind of medication we choose to take - or not take. I hope you'll continue to post here and let us get to know you.

Yes.....I know....I'm one of those awful people that say that's check in and never do......please don't hold it against me....
Some of you may remember me from a few years ago. Had a doctor tell me I had Lyme disease and I've really enjoyed the past couple of years (hiking, traveling, sailing, etc). Started having sxs again this past month. In this constant over 100 degree heat it's been pretty rough. Trigeminal Neuralgia sent me back to the doctor. Family doctor immediately sent me to a neuro (we moved to Houston since my last postings). He immediately ordered an MRI and wants me to set up an appointment with an MS specialist. I'm planning to wait until I get the MRI results to do that. This ain't my first rodeo. Anyway....I'm back to Limboland....I'll be checking back in on everyone. |

Welcome back Gigi. Looks like you may have MS after all, huh. I'm so sorry, but at least you're in the right place for support and friendship.

Welcome Dvora glad you are here.
Yes I've had one LP and it is uncomfortable, but not painful. After the LP you must last as flat as possible for up to 24 hrs, while your fluid replenishes to avoid a horrible headache. If all goes well, that's about it. Come in and start a thread or join us in support of others and thank you for joining us..

Hi and Welcome,
To all the new people and the returning people. What I have found is: People with MS are strong people. Why?- because of all the symptoms we get, and we handle them with a good attitude and then we adjust. Even our tests are not so pleasant at times. But we endure. So, welcome to all our friends, and so glad you found us. Nice to meet all of you and hope you join us on the Main MS forum below or The Stumble Inn for other than MS talk. Take care.
