Welcome everyone. Glad you found us.

Hi eveyone! I found my way over, sad and glad in the same breath. Hope I can bring something to this forum. Thanks for having me!

Hi Pawndude. Welcome to the "other" side. lol. Glad you found your way here.

A community that has something for everyone....I LIKE IT.

Hi....I'm sooo glad I found my way here. Just hope I can continue to find my way back. I get lost alot.

I'm a 54 yr. old Wife (married 30 yrs in June), Mom of 3, Grandma of 4. I live in Illinois and Wisconsin, mostly Wisconsin. I was dx'd chronic progressive MS in Feb. 2002, and that was just the beginning. In Aug. 2002 had back surgery, and have numerous spinal problems. Arthritis, mild scoliosis, osteoporosis, and dx'd last fall with Degenerative Disk Disease.
In 2004 I was dx'd with Autonomic Dysfunction w/vasovagal episodes and syncope. And just recently severe hypertension which has been impossible to get under control.
I was forced into early retirement in July 2002 because the MS took total control of my body. The first hit was to the short term memory, then the eyes (double vision and oscillopsia), drop foot, trigeminal neuralgia, optic neuritis, tingling and numbness. Walked and talked like I'd been on a 3 day drinking binge....spent 1 year in bed, fairly incoherant.
To be honest, right now I am angry, depressed, hurt and really don't find life much worth waking up to. I guess that's why I came in search, but I'm not sure what I'm searching for.

Hi everyone.
Gad to see you!
Happy to meet you!!
Purrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh, wow. This is a little confusing. Introduced myself I guess in the BIG main section. Going to take a while to get used to the different navigation!

Dxed with MS very quickly after a bout of ON last March. Hello to everyone I don't know and to those I do, good to see you!!

Hi everyone, I'm John from Louisville, KY. I'm retired from the Army as a Senior Law Enforcement officer. I'm now a Political Editorialist for a regional newspaper here and a veteran activist along with my work with the American Legion. I was diagnosed with MS just a couple of months ago at the ripe young age of 56 so it's been a learning experience for me, but not an experience that I'm planning on letting get me down. I don't have time for it to get me down. Looking forward to getting to know you better.
