Well Hello Tom! NIce to see you here. I'm late posting this, but have been out of town. I miss everything!!!

Hello!
Do not have MS myself so hopefully this is okay. My H has been diagnosed (in past 3 years) with a muscle disease (no name), Transverse Myelitis, and Probable MS. I am the one that searches for info when needed.

We are hoping to be approved to get an appt. with a neuro group that specializes in at least 2 of these areas this week.

The anxiety level is high here; his symptoms have been increasing, so thought I should say hi before I have a question but am to stressed out to formulate a coherent sentence.

It is nice to hear some of the upbeat comments as there doesn't seem to be much relief from a somewhat continuous barrage of life's "opportunities" at our house!!

Welcome SunnySideDown...love your name..

So sorry to hear of Hubby's Illness. I hope you both find answers soon, so you can start treating it. I understand your anxiety.

Take a deep breath and ask anything you want. We are here to help each other.

Hello SunnySide Down
You are most welcome to join in here. Bummer about the hubby's illness, I hope you get in with a great doctor.

Ask away, there are many here willing to help. Answers may be a little slow, in apprearing, due to it being a weekend. Don't let that discourage you from asking.

Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Hi my name is Karen, I was dx with RRMS in august 2004 but was told that from the number of lesions and my history of odd symptoms, that i had probably had MS for about 10 yrs priro to dx- i certianly can trace it back at least 5 yrs. By the time i was dx i was already wheelchair dependnant after losing my right leg, it was amputated 12 yrs ago to help ease chronic pain resulting from an injury some 15 yrs or so earlier. After the injury i developed complex regional pain syndrome. I am an RN and still manage to work part time, 2 days per week although no longer involved in hands on care, these days i work in a call centre taking reports about incidents that occur in the public health system here in sth aust. i am also a part time student at university doing a Ba of info tech.
I have just recntly had a major flare of my MS, i spent almosy a month in hospital in total and i am still feeling pretty flat and lethargic at the moment. I am having a lot of problems with muscle spasms at the moment too but hope all this will gradually recede. I am on Betaferon injections at present, and have been for abit over 2 years, i was on copaxone before that but had a severe allergic reaction. I gave just changed to a new neuro during this attack and he seems alot more pro axtive, he wants to do a repeat MRI when i feel a bit better, as i have not hadone since dx, i have had 3 flares in the past year and he says we need to see if the ms is progressing, eg new lesions accumulating, to see if the betaferon is helping, he has doubts and has been talking about being more aggressive in treatment. As he says, i cant afford to accumulate more disability from the ms when i am already significantly disabled due to my other issues.
