Hello,

I am new to this site, was dx back on April 1st of this year. hence my logon. I thought I would jut poke around and see if I could find more info as I am always looking. I have noticed many of the same user from another site I have been on numerous times so it will be nice to join in with knowing some. I am known by LISAM on the other but it was already taken so here I am.

Welcome! I look forward to seeing you around.

Welcome to NeuroTalk, April, or should I call you Fool..:D I don't think I've met you before have I ?

You have come to the right place. Just join in anywhere and do visit the Stumble Inn, to have some fun.:)

I'm not a newby, I'm an oldie that just didn't really make the transition very well. :rolleyes:

I'm here for now though... we'll see how long I last this time. ;)

Or you can just call me Lisa.. No I havent met you before this is my first time posting on here. I was over in the stumble in and I must say this place looks much more fun..... Thanks
Lisa

Welcome back. I do hope you stick around this time.;)

I tend to go to the board that most fits what is going on at the time. I found a lot of support with this group of people when I was diagnosed with MS. So when something else happens I head back here... it's weird. I don't even realize I'm doing it until later.

So we'll see how it goes. I don't plan on leaving, but life gets busy and my internet time is less and then that happens. I'll do my best to stick around though. :cool:

Yes I'm new name is BeeBee
 

hello Yes I'm new to this site but not to MS. Yesterday was my first tysabri infusion. Today I'm looking around figuring out this site.

Welcome to NeuroTalk, Beebee. So nice to have you here..:)

There are quite a few Tysabri users here. Be sure to check into the Sticky, Tysabri thread, at the top of the page.. You'll find a lot of kindred spirits there..:)

:hug:

And so it's September. Thought I'd say HI :)

Hi Larry..:hug:

You must be doing well 'cause I haven't seen you around. At least I hope that's the case.

Please join us in our LDN thread and tell all the new users how it's been for you.

So nice to hear from you..:)

Hey there I think it's about time I introduced myself, I've been lurking for ages not saying anything but reading lots! So hello to you all from New Zealand. I have been diagnosed with MS for a year now so still pretty new to all of this, so reading all you say is immensly helpful....thankyou.

New to this
 

Hi, I am real new to all of this and found this site while researching MS.
Long story short ( I think); Back in early spring of this year I was diagnosed w/ON. They also ordered MRI's and found several lesions. Then sent me to MS Specialist who ordered more MRI'S,Evoked potentials, and LP. He says now ( after waiting all summer) I have MS. I have to see him ( the Doc) in about 2 weeks and he said he may or maynot start me on treatment. Meanwhile, my eye is acting up again here over the weekend. I am awake here in the early wee morning hours becasue my arm and shoulder is having crazy spasms and my joints are hurting ( this is a first ). My face on the same side that my eye hurts feels tingly, kinda like how you feel when novacaine is wearing off when you get a filling (also a first). I am at my wits end with this and crying as I type because my hubby is as worried about all this as I am and even though I have a diagnosis of MS now, my Doc is unsure I should be treated cause he thinks I am early stages of this disease????? Everything we have researched points out I should be on treatment to help slow this progression. Anyway, this is probably not the best introduction I could have given, but I am having a REALLY bad night..I am sorry. On the brighter side, I did contact our local MS Society and they are going to send me info and possibly refrences for a new Doctor. UGH! Otherwise, I love spending time in my gardens, with our animals, reading, but more than any of that, with my hubby of 28 years and our grown children and their spouse ( only one is married so far). Thanks for letting me come here, sorry about the vent along with the intro. Helen

Hi Adrian and welcome to NeuroTalk!!

Welcome Que, nice to meet you..:)

Been running through these posts most of the summer trying to understand what the Dr.s have been saying. Definitely more information here.
In 2004 I was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome. Have yet to see that mentioned here. I spent most of the last 4 years with GBSers on another site.
Made several trips to University of Wis. Hosp in Madison, Wis this summer to find out I had Chiari 1 Malformation. The last few years I thought I was dealing with GBS residuals. So this is a whole new language for me.
I go back for a few more tests in a couple weeks. Supposed to be combining that visit with a 2nd appointment with the neurosurgeon and pre-op stuff.
Very scary. Our last visit the the NS seemed cut and dried. Surgery was obvious and every thing would be fine. But reading all these posts has me really worried.
Anybody had any experience at Univ. of Wis.?

Thank you , thank you to whoever put this website together. It's a wealth of knowledge.

My uncle has secondary-progressive MS. He was being treated with chemotherapy with Mitazantrone, but had to stop the treatments because they were damaging his heart. I joined the website to help him stay informed about new treatments for SPMS.

Welcome to NeuroTalk, Bovellido. So nice to have you here..:) Sorry about your Uncle and I hope we can be of help and support for you both.

:hug:

Hi Everyone
 

My Daughter gave me the name Oopsalot because heehee, I am a klutz!

I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive MS Aug 2007, but have been having symptoms dating back to High School.

I am 42 yrs old, single mother of 3 kids (one boy 21 who lives here), I have 2 boys Kyle 17, and Jake 16, and Mary 8.
Also have A giant Husky (I call him Bumble Butt or when hes' being good my big baby lol).
4 cats, a Ferret, and a Guinea Pig...all spoiled rotten:rolleyes:!

I have seen way to many doctors, given way to many dx'es in my yrs (would make your head swim).

I am still trying to figure out this site, this could take my mushy brain a little while :o.

Having a brain block right now, so I will close.

Hope everyone has a good day!

cute name oops.

Hello Neuro Talk members
 

My name is Jason, I am 32 years old, I live in virginia. I was dx 6.5 years ago, I am married and have two young boys. I have been reading blogs, attempting to get more familiar with the filing for disability process, I am currently on short term disability, through a policy I carry through the company that I am employed through. I recently (2 months ago) had my 3rd cycle of solu medrol (iv steroids), this most recent cycle of steroids has not had the same affect as the first cycle, all my symptoms are still with me, anyway just looking to speak to peers that have gone through or are in process of applying for ssdi benefits. Well nice to meet all of you :)

So nice to meet you, Jason and Welcome to NeuroTalk..:)

Come n in and start a thread, asking about SSDI. There are many here who are either on it or, in the process, as are you.

Nice to have you with us. :hug:
