Hi everyone!

Dx'd with MS in 2007. I'm on Copaxone at the moment.

In my other intro thread, I talked about how my mom and grandmother (dad's mom) also had this disease. Semi-familiar with it, but so different when it's you. I'll still ask questions and such, have no fear.

Docs are starting to make noises that I may be progressive, but have no idea at this point.

I'm glad I found this board.

Hi everyone! I posted on the main page and now I've got the time to post here in the MS area.
Hi to all from MSW

Quick intro. :

I was dx'd RRMS in 2000. They symptoms began a year earlier.

I take Betaseron and have been on it since 2002.
For fatigue I take Ritalin-SR (20mg) and Ritalin (20mg 2 x day).

If you're wondering if the Ritalin works for me.... ummm... actually it doesn't really help much. I guess that qualifies as severe-fatigue.

Anywho, that's all I can think of to post right now.

Cheers! Niko

Hi! I'm new here, but it's nice to see names from the other site that have moved here, too.
I'm not yet dxd, but my neuro said I'm...okay, can't think of the word he used right now, but it's like early, or beginning, MS. Rats! the brain's taking a nap again!
Began with fibro in '85, then started getting neuro sxs three years ago, with numbing toes. Went on to numb fingertips, gait problems, vertigo, blurred and double vision, bladder problems, cognitive problems (memory, problem solving, crying/laughing, etc.), occasional tremors in hands/arms, floppy right foot. Now things have quieted down a bit after two weeks of prednisone last month. It was a wonderful 2 weeks...I felt almost human again.
I live outside of Chicago, am a Bears and Cubs fan, have three sons and a daughter, all adults, and a great husband. We have a 9 yr. old golden retriever named Sanford. I am not working now; I had to quit a year ago due to my cog problems, and haven't felt quite up to the task of being able to work just yet.
I have the first draft of a novel in my desk drawer, and a lot of poetry that I hope to string together to get published this year. I like photography and reading (when my brain is able to concentrate!!).
I'm really happy to have found this site...lots of forums to look into!

Hello Everyone.

I'm Vegasgrl. I was dx'd RRMS in 2000 and I think I've had it since childhood. I can remember strange things bothering me as a kid that would get chalked up to "growing pains".

I have tried most of the meds and I'm now on Tysabri.

I'm newly married to a wonderful man who is very patient, understanding and helpful in my little crazy world.

I think I'm going to go lurk around now and find my way through the site.

Hi, y'all.
I was diagnosed with PPMS in February, 2003. I was just shy of my 61st birthday.
I also have a peripheral neuropathy apparently caused by a B12 deficiency. It went unchecked for several years.
Anyway, I am mostly wheel chair bound although I do crab walk around my house with the help of a cane.
I do not take any meds except for sub lingual B12 and Flexoril.

I have been marrried to a wonderful man for 48 years. We have 4 living children which includes a set of twins. ( One son died several years ago). We have 12 grand children and 2 great grand children with one more on the way.

I checked in on the main page but thought I would check in here too. I'm really glad to see lots of familiar faces here! It feels like coming home.


I've been "officially" diagnosed with RRMS for 3 years now, but told I've probably had it since my early 20's (which is lots of years!)

Jensequitur there, Jensequitur everywhere!

Just poking my head in to say howdy and how-ya-doin... I see some familiar faces! Good to see you again.

Diagnosed in March 2007 with relapsing-remitting, but like many, I've probably had it for years. Currently on Copaxone and hating it, but it's better than the alternative! And I'm in remission... ah, remission! I'm going to enjoy it. And do as much stuff to the house as I can, because who knows how long this will last.

I have RRMS and am 39 years olds. I was dx'd 14 years ago (after 6 years of flares) but looking back I know that I have had MS since my teens. I was taken out of work over 6 years ago. I spend my time taking care of my beautiful daughter and husband, reading books and getting together with friends.
