I'm so glad I followed my MSW buddies over this way! Big hugs right back at ya Moose! You guys really know how to make a girl feel better.

The baby loves to ride on the scooter and push the buttons, especially the horn. LOL!
I think I'm just letting this MS bs get to me a little too much. I'm wondering lately if what I thought was a flare after the baby was born really wasn't, and this is my after baby flare. I can't wait for warmer, dryer weather so I can sit outside with the baby and let him play in the grass!

It's not helping that I've gained weight since the baby was born, but I'm trying Slim-fast since I can't really exercise too much, and so far, so good. And Cherie, you're right, scooter, stretch, walk... it's what I try to do. I generally walk when I'm doing something in a small space (the kitchen) and I try to keep up with some chores around the house. It makes me feel like a little less of a loser.

Thanks you guys!!

just like AMN I also was remove off baclofen cause it was causing more troubles with my legs, right now i am on other meds plus kolopin(sp?),(tried a few other meds no luck) daily stretching and starting a water exercise program, exercising does help talking to the doc, is a good idea

OK, beautiful. Hang on. Here comes...

One big, warm, tight, hug, handshake and howdy, moose-size official type welcome to the site. This place is amazing!

You are not alone.
You are one of us.
And we are here to help.

Aww, thanks!!! I feel officially welcomed now!!! I agree, this place IS great!!! Lots of GREAT people here!!! So glad I am a part of it...

Moose,

I always imagine a hug from you would feel like a big ole bear-hug.


Sally,

With PPMS I know there are no good days coming, just steady progression. But now I get to the bathroom quicker, kids and their friends take my chair and turn up the speed and laugh the whole wild ride, and I do have more energy for other stuff (no, cleaning is not one of them. Did make brownies the other day, does that count as housework? I was in the house).

I do try to use walker sometimes and stretch, but not as good (never really good anyway) as I was. BUT I do feel I've gotten more freedom and mobility with the chair.
