My version of a rasberry

Hi Everyone,
I was diagnossed In October of 2004 after having a very hard time the last time I was In Iraq. I kept a good diary and along with my previous medical records I got a diagnosis very quick. Sometimes I wondered If It was worth keeping a diary, but I found out that It was well worth my time.

My wife of 18 1/2 years decided that she wanted another man and so she filed for a divorce In March of this year.

I have a son 18 years old and he Is a Senior In High School. He has been one of my biggest Inspirations In my life. He has Autism, ADD and mentally retarded. When he was 3 or 4 the doctors told us that he would never live to see his teenage years. He proved them all wrong. He wakes up every day with a smile, and goes to bed with a smile. Always happy.

I have a daughter 14 years old. She Is a Freshman In High School this year. She Is very smart and way over protective of her brother.

I spent 20 years 11 months In the U.S. Army. I've been around the world a few times, and I've lived many different places In my life. My father was In the Army so I also got to do a lot of traveling while I was young.

Hi James, Welcome! Sorry about your MS DX and the breakup of your marriage. Life really sucks gravel, sometimes.

I'm so glad that you have been blessed with two wonderful Kids. That makes it all worth it, huh? Will they be staying with you?

I hope you find your time here both informative and supportive. We are here for you as you are for us.:)

My wife has custody of the children. I get to see them when ever I want. They usually stay with me more than they stay with her.

Hello James.

Glad You joined us. I think we have *met* on another board but I could be wrong:)

Bumping for any new people who want to chime in.:D

Hi to all! I am spoons and also came from another forum. I have PPMS, was dxd when I was 42 in one day! Today is my 57th BD. I have been married for 28 years (yikes!), have 2 stepchildren, a step-grandaughter and a step- grandson.

I currently only take Celexa and Klonopin. I will be making a decision shortly on whether to get a Bacflofen pump (second time Neuro suggested it). I'm scared to death to have it done! He seems to think it will make me more mobile. Right now, I am wheelchair bound.

Forgot to mention I have a rescued Bichon Frise; his name is Scooter and he never leaves my side.

Glad I was referred here, seems like a great place!

Spoons, hi girl! You are the same age as Gigi, minus one day.
Happy birthday again! Nice to see you here too.
