hello to this group...
 

I am DizzyDean, new to this group.

I have RRMS, Sx started perhaps 17 years ago, but no Dx until a few years ago. Its been mild, more nuisance than disability really, my episodes/relapses seem to be spaced a few years apart so far. Over the years Sx have included ON, Lhermite's, numbness, tingling, tinnitus, but nothing that hasn't resolved after a bit.

Today I take LDN and a ton of vitamins., but I am "toying with tysabri" and "considering copaxone". I know that sounds like a weird dichotomy, to choose either the mildest and arguably least effective drug, or instead choose the most effective and potentially most dangerous one. I'm still negotiating all of this with my Dr, who doesn't seem keen on my doing tysabri as a firstline therapy but would probably go for it if I absolutely told him no way to ABCR.

yeppers. my son graduated high school this last weekend.

DizzyDean's in the house, and just in time for Curious's cookies! My, many alliterations abound!:Wave-Hello:

Welcome DizzyDean...(slapping hand) don't eat all the cookies!

Welcome DizzyDean. Glad you found us. I'm an LDNer too. :)

Hello DizzyDean and Welcome to NeuroTalk!

Great to find you at last...
 

... thanks to Cheryl from Idaho, the Fearless AviatorGirl on that other message board.

What a vast and elegant website! I don't think there's a subcategory missing from the roster. I'm VERY impressed with you all!

Okay, I'm Jane the Pain from Glendale, OH. I was officially diagnosed with the RR (no, my darling nephew, I am not a railroad...) in '03 after getting "the" news back in '89 that my mild optic neuritis would, in all likelihood, turn into "the real thang." UGH.

Four years and five neuros later (the gang from that other message board will affirm that I'm something of a problem-child... :D ), I'm smack dab in the middle of the Tovaxin clinical trials going on in Columbus, Ohio.

And since I noted a Tovaxin thread on the list, I'll save the "volume" for that.

Once again, you all have a first-rate website--"inhabited by" some of the most informed and interesting people I've read in ahile.

It's great to be here--THANKS again, Cheryl, for sending me the link!

Best to you all and I have to get caught up here!

Snacks? Hey, I'm the Queen of Cheetos in my neck of the woods... and anything/everything else that's supposed to be bad for me... :D

(Thanks for the welcome!) :)

Hey Jane!

How about fixing me an omelette, now that I'm watching my cholesterol and all.:trampoline:
