Unhappy Omg No

My sister is being tested for MS

She has ON and has had a Brain MRI and the doctor is talking about a LP. I don't want her to have MS. She just can't have MS


I am the only one in my family that I'm aware of who has MS.......I just never saw this coming. I never, ever wanted to see a loved one end up having this disease.

Oh dear Snoopy - I'm so sorry.

She has you to lean on and she will benefit from your knowledge.

Scary time though.

Sorry to hear, Snoopy.

My sister was tested for MS too, and in the end was dx with Syringomyelia. It was odd because that is usually accompanied by Chiari, but she doesn't apparently have that.

MS is cruel, but not the worst one out there. You've had a (relatively) good go of the disease, over many years, so hopefully she will be the same (if it pans out that way).

Good luck to sis!

Cherie

Oh Snoopy..Nooooooooo!! I'm so sorry, but I'm glad she has you for a Sister.

I'll never forget the day my Daughter was also DX with MS...Now she worries about her Kids for the future, too.

I had a mild course for many years, before having to depend on a scooter and walker.....not until I was 63, and Julie is having the same mild course for now. She is on LDN only. get your Sister some....can't hurt!!

Sending Hugs to You and Sis.

Oh LeeAnn, I hope it turns out to be nothing. But like Taffy said, she has you to lean on and all of us! Big hugs to both of you.

Sorry to hear your Sis is having trouble and sx's, Leeanne! Keep us posted and I sure will be keeping you both in my prayers. Like Taffy said, you have each other and a whole bunch of buddies here....

Oh crap. LA, that is one of my worst fears, a sib or a friend. It already happened to one of my friends. Why must this go on?
