Hi All!

It's been awhile since I last posted..almost 2 years

I visit once in awhile, read, smile and then get ready for my 15th nap of the day.

What's new with me;
..for those who forgot..

I'm still living in Israel after moving here from Canada.
I'm reminded too often why I left or rather why I ran away from home the first time... grumble grumble.

I can only think of 2 things I prefer here, the weather and being close to my mom.

I'll probably create a new thread with the other 150 things I hate here.

I have finally started taking steps to sue my partner for spousal support which she is obligated to pay under Canadian law. 'revenge is thy name and hurt your wallet will be my gain': (I'm a poet and I didn't even know it)


I'm still on Copaxone and my last MRI showed nothing new which means I'm stable and as my neurologist says
'Copaxone is doing what it should be doing.' AND my comment is "and that would be.......what exactly? Oh wait! 'we don't know but its still doing something'.

I'm lucky he's a nice guy - cause I never miss the chance to be cynical and a smart-***...it makes my day.

I have started taking Provogil - which has made a HUGE difference!.
It works in decreasing my fatigue. I am able to do a a few hours of chores around the house, with more energy and stamina.
'More' is relative. I get up around 7:00 am and can last till 1:00 pm before I need a long nap.

I recommend taking it if anyone is offered by their neurologist.
Just want to add that after speaking to some other MS-ers it doesn't work for everyone.

My final 2 cents:
I know you've all been hearing a lot about Israel in the US elections and debates. Please don't hate us or resent us for the politicking that's going on. This area is so volatile and stressful we get caught up in the middle of it. We don't go looking for trouble it just comes to us.

I'm fading fast....

I will try and make an extra effort to participate and be more active on the board.


I look forward to reconnecting..

I am new since you have been here. glad to meet you. Your part of the world is never far from my prayers. Many here in the USA do care very much what happens. We are all Gods children. I am sorry you have MS. My cousin does. I have cervial problems, etc... sick of all of it, as I know you must be with some of the stuff regarding MS. We can't believe all of what we hear in the paper and on the News broadcasts. Most times the "people" in countries that have trouble are "good". We only hear about the bad folks causing the trouble. I would love to see the Holy Land, with all the vairety of beliefs. Just wish this world could get along. Keep in touch. ginnie

Nice to "see" you again! Hope you get things resolved in the ex partner department...wow quite a difference from Canada! Prayers for those in your area of the world as things never seem stable...

Glad that provigil is helping you...guess if we have to have this disease it's a "good" time due to all the meds & research coming out to treat MS...
Keep in touch!!

Welcome back! Sounds like you've got a lot going on. Sorry you don't like Israel. Being a Jew, I've always wanted to visit but never got the chance.

I hope things get better for you. Glad you like your doctor and that your mom is near.

I also quit visiting here for two years, just got back into NT a few months ago.

I found that I really missed everyone.

Take care.
