So sorry for the DX, but guess it's a relief just to know. Are you on any of the MS Meds yet?

Just join in anywhere and have a good time.:D

:hug:

I'm not sure... The only other place I post is a support page over on myspace.
Yes, the dx came as a huge relief...
I spent years going to my doctor about stuff that she could never find an answer for, (mainly diziness, fatigue, and migraines).
and I eventually gave up and stopped going... then last thanksgiving I had a major flare up... dizzness, numbness and a lead leg to boot... I went to a new doctor who pretty much figured it out right away.
After a handful of tests I was finally dx'd in january, started copaxone and provigil in februrary and am now doing better than I have been in about 6 years.

Dx'd with RRMS this year after years of thinking my symptoms were all in my head.... (no pun intended).
Anyway, just wanted to say hi to everyone and introduce myself.
KathyM told me about this place months ago, sorry it took me so long to get here.

That's the problem...KathyM! If she's passing out coffee to prospective members, they may never get here! LOL!

Welcome Chelle! Glad you finally got here! Bet it was via the bathroom several times! :D

shhh, don't tell KathyM I told you I know her secret! :wink:

Hi, I am a newbie. Diagnosed with RRMS in June. Had symptoms for several years. Not working. Struggling financially. Hoping to get on diability, worried about the process.
Hope to meet some great friends here and learn a lot.

Hey, I am a newbie MSer - diagnosed this June with RRMS. Not working, former OB RN for 8 years, know nothing about MS!! Worried about finances. Stressed over applying for diability. Hope to meet some friends here and gain info.
Thanks,
Mitzi

Hi Mitzi..:Wave-Hello: Welcome to our little part of the MS world of cyberspace. we are a small friendly group and welcome all newbys with open arms.:)

I'm so sorry for your recent DX of MS. I've had MS for more years than you have lived, probably, so maybe I can help with some answers for you.

Are you on any of the MS modulating drugs? I don't know too much about filing for disability.. I'm 65, so am on Medicare anyway, but I am sure the others will be along to explain the process to you, soon.

You are among friends here who understand your every feeling, when it comes to MS, so, again, welcome and just join in anywhere.:hug:

Hi Mit! Welcome to Nt!:Tip-Hat:

Hi Mitzi
Welcome, welcome. I hope you enjoy our group. The diagnosis sucks but you've found yourself a teriffic bunch to hang with. :D

What specific questions do you have about disability? I went through the process in the late 1990's and would be happy to help where I can. Anything on your mind, just run it by us and we will help you out wherever we can.

:hug:
