Hello Julie,

Welcome to the site from another MSer.

You really do have a lot on your plate right now, don't you?

I wish I could give you lots of wonderful advice, but I can't! I don't know the right words to say.

I wish I could tell you not to worry about those parents who are giving you and your son a bad time, but you'll worry anyway!

I guess I'm not much use at all, but I want you to know that I'm thinking of you, and sending you some hugs.

Welcome to our board. Vent all you want, I've done it a lot! And no, you did not cause your MS just because of all the stress. Be proud of your son! There are all sorts of fun threads going on over at the Stumble Inn which is the off topic part of the MS forum here. We all need each other.

I have been a mamber of Brain Talk which kind of broke off into Brain talk and Neuro Talk for many years. I have been very proud of the fact that we allow any kind of discussion needed here. Well no political talk. MS is in every part of our life so every part of our life needs to be included in what we can talk about. Did I make any sense? Sometime my brain doesn't get all the way through to my fingers!

Thank you both for your posts. I feel better knowing someone is out there listening.

Julie, I'm new here too, but wanted to send lots of hugs your way. Know that everyone here is ready and willing to listen anytime you need to vent.

Do you belong to a support group where you live? I love having my computer friends, but it is so nice to be able to go to a place and be with real live people that are experiencing the same things that you are. If you aren't, call the NMSS and ask for one in your area. If you ever need to talk, please don't hesitate to email me directly and I will even give you my phone number.

Take care!

Hi Julie. I remember your name from my prayer list--you've had some rough times, haven't you? Sorry to hear that things are tough right now.

Sounds like you've taken the giant step of "confessing" that lying to your doc is a no-no.

I'm getting ready for work right now, but I will be following your thread and praying for you. Perhaps I'll even dig up a few "words of wisdom" later on, that I will no doubt plagiarize from someone else smarter than I am.

Hang in there. Morning is coming.
