Ya Know---
I do think that the chocolate is doing me more good than anything else!!

Lately I've been partial to combining the McD's $1 menu sweet tea (w/NO ice!!) and $1 menu chocolate chip cookies. Take them home for the middle of the night (better @ 2AM or later!). By then, the mostly sugar tea is nice & cold!! And there's LOTS to last through the night since I use my own ice!!

Thanks so much for all of the info, Cherie!
I'll print it all and read it slowly tonight with the spoils of my afternoon trip to the drive-thru!

Speaking of chocolate, I was watching MSNBC this morning and there was a piece on this woman who broke into and robbed a chocolate store! It was hilarious. She was grabbing fudge and all sorts of chocolate. I guess she lost it at the rocky road fudge counter and broke the cabinet. They caught here a couple of blocks away with chocolate stains all over her blouse and her face.

I guess she was having a chocolate meltdown! I checked out the photo and it didn't look like Taffy so I guess our Taffy is safe!

OMG...too funny..

Quality of life (and cost) would be huge issues to me. When I see people who say that CRABs have cost them QOL or are making them go into debt, I wonder if it's really worth it.

In my case, the CRABs work well, and cost me so little that's it's worth it. There is no cure. It's not worth killing yourself over something that might have a small benefit.

it's ok folks...they didn't keep me locked up very long.

I live in Maryland too, and some recent changes on my MRI as well as severe arm fatigue have my neuro sending me to Johns Hopkins for further evaluation....he had mentioned a possible spinal tap but then backed off and said lets see what they say...I think I have exhausted his testing ....he did emgs and ncs and dopplers on my arteries, I see him also for migraines..just wondering if your doc did more tests, or did he send you to Hopkins for more tests and what your sx were? I have already been seen there once for a different issue that they couldn't figure out and am being put with same doc....right now looking at PN testing, I think.....I just don't want to be blown off....how do you make them give you the right tests? My recent MRI after 5 months did have some focal changes ....more lesions....neuro still not sure on the the MS at all....

Beth,
I'm not on any DMD's or WMD (my wording). Copaxone nearly killed me.
I also decline Ty and Novantrone.

As I decline, my Neuro appt. is getting closer, I may need to make a decision.

Not now.

Talk to your Dr., these meds effect us all differently.
