Hello Erin,
I'm glad you've decided to join us. Welcome aboard!

All the best,
Chris

Welcome Erin!

I'm often scarce, but I can attest to the fun of this forum. The people here are very nice as well. I hope you'll stay awhile!

About shopping, you could do as I've been doing lately, go out and splurge and then return it a week later after buyer's remorse sets in.

Hi Erin,

WELCOME TO THE NEUROTALK FORUM COMMUNITY AND ALL IT HAS TO OFFER!

I'm glad you've found us and we are the right place to come no matter how you're feeling at the time. It is our job to listen, empathize, sympathize, and offer the support you request to get you through the day.

Again, welcome.

I just woke up...well, I've been awake since noon (Central Standard Time) but I only just got up because my body is trying to tell me to not help shoveling snow or chipping ice of the driveway ever again.

Oh, and it's also telling me to go to bed earlier than 4am.

The copaxone pharmacy called me a little bit ago. They're sending me a new box of C...I havent even started the last box. (*hanging head in shame* Apparently I dont shoot up every day)

time to go see if I have any ibuprofen, I'd like to walk upright today.

Erin, You have to listen to your body. It will tell you volumes of what's going on inside.

Shoveling snow and breaking up ice in the driveway?????

What the heck were YOU thinking????

I hope you get some rest. It's obvious that you're NOT a good drug addict. You need to start "shooting up" to start feeling better.

Keep us informed on how you're doing. We really care.

Well, my dad is getting older. (68 in a few months) and he was trying to look like he's still in shape in front of the neighbor who came over and helped us out (neighbor is 72)

I havent told the neighbors here yet (former neighbor in our old neighborhood knows) about the MS yet, so they always look at me weird when I dont help with some stuff.

Yesterday I was feeling pretty good. (not anymore!) and so I got the heavy ice chopper out and was just breaking up the chunks, but the neighbor kept telling me to push it under the ice. Which meant I had to bend over some. Back didnt enjoy that, and the chopper was just heavy enough that after carrying it for a bit my arm got tired.

I think most of the soreness if my hand today is from the marathon crocheting I was doing on a shawl last night. I want to finish it by sunday so I can ship it to my sister for her birthday (it'll be late still)

This is weird, my right index finger has been twitching occasionally (probably about 10 minutes a day at varying times) and since last night, I havent felt a twitch. I wonder if all the moving around is keeping the twitch from coming back?

I'm getting a sore throat...I wonder if I should go visit (the totally gorgeous) Dr. C and see if I've got the annual tonsilitis yet.

Meh, your dad is just a kid, Erin. My dad is 85 and still thinks he's 12. You don't owe anyone an explanation for anything. If it's too much, don't do it, save yourself!

I've had that finger twitch thing a couple times too. It showed up one day and went away just as suddenly. I can't say that there was any activity that caused it to start or to stop, but I am glad when it isn't here. That is one of the most annoying things to me, spasticity. Drives me nuts sometimes. The eyelids is probably the one that makes me craziest, UGH!

I'm glad that you can still crochet and do things with your fingers. I miss mine a lot.

Hopefully, your flu feeling will go away quickly and leave you alone. Yuck.

I'm glad you said older and not just OLD. I'm close to his age. My Daughter is 37.

Hope your sore throat is just a fleeting thing and not anything serious.

I'm 38.

And I dont think of my dad as old...he's just not getting younger.

Just call me Mom, then..
