I really am ambivalent to discuss this as I was hoping things were going to be different at this time of the year for us, but alas it is not. Unfortunately, I have still been unable to conceive or maintain a pregnancy, and we had said that if by the end of the year if I was not pregnant I would start on Tysabri, and we would start on the adoption bandwagon.

While I feel happy about starting back on something for my MS again, I feel like I have failed in the female department for some reason. I know there are many others out there who have gone through what we have, but for some reason at this time of year, it's really harder on us than at any other time of the year.

I guess it just reminds me of all the ways that my body has failed me already. At least I still have you lot!

I feel like crap also.

All the MS demons are coming back and at once!

Hands, feet, feel like pins and needles!

I can't think straight!

I am tripping again. (over my foot...jerks!)

Stabbing pain that comes and goes in my leg.

This needs to all stop.

I have lots to do!

I really do need to be Tuffy. (but I don't think I can.)

Tuffy...I am sorry you are not doing well...

Okay....Let's pull ourselves together.

Slapping self. Go ahead someone slap me! Sure Nappy you wanna.

Must be Peep burning time.

Darn..I should of drowned some in the flood.

Oh Chris, by the way, Peeps are those marshmellow things, not people.



Off to get out a few boxes of Peeps, gel, and matches.

Poopy, Chris...I'm so sorry about no Baby.

I do hope that Tysabri works wonders for you....that's the least it can do.

I guess I would have to say the thing bothering me most is my legs at night. I swear if there were a way to take the temperature on your foot mine would be over 100! But I feel very blest that that is the biggest thing I have to deal with right now. Last night I wasn't able to go to sleep until after 5 AM. So tonight I'm taking an extra Klonopin cause I have got to finish my shopping and I'm going to have some rest to do it. An my Mom is thinkig about sending out a search party for me since she hasn't seen me in a week. I take care of her checkbook for her and I dread going over and doing that.

I'm sorry doydie! You seemed like you were having a few good days just a few weeks ago, weren't you? I hope you have a few good days coming up in the future.

OK Sally, you asked for it!

After getting over the shock of my HSP diagnosis and no longer having an MS diagnosis, things have been a challenge.

Currently I use Canadian crutches to get around outside the home. Legs, hips, lower back, and arms are noticably weaker. I can't stand as long as I used to even with the crutches. Any long walks are accomplished with a store motorized cart or wheelchair on boardwalks and malls.

Many sensory symptoms very similar to MS severe cases. Cognitive is always a challenge everyday. I just go with the flow and take the symptoms as they come.

Again, thank you for letting me be a part of this forum. It is such a big help.

I'm so sorry things have been tough on you lately, Santa. Going with the flow can sometimes be a "Bumpy Ride".

I hope your feeling better and stronger soon..
