Hi Everyone,

Was browsing the internet looking for information on painful injections (after a painful Betaseron injection) and came across this Board. Looked good, so I joined, and here I am!

I'm currently unemployed, a victim of the banking crisis, looking for my next position. My kids (2 girls, 7 and 9) call me a "clumser" when I stumble, lose my balance, or bang my head on something (clumser, as in one who is clumsy).; When I saw the "Stumble Inn", I knew I was home!

I was diagnosed with PPMS 18 months ago, but suspect I've had MS for about 40 of my 47 years. I'm looking forward to posting more, meeting all of you, and learning from everyone's experiences.

Hi Clumser and welcome to NeuroTalk! Sorry for the reasons you're here but you found the right place! Join right in, ask questions, share your ups and downs, give advice and just enjoy the company of friendly folks who share the same annoying disease. Hope to see you around the forums!

Welcome, Clumser.. Yep you sound like you'll fit right in at the Stumble Inn.

Come on in and join us anywhere. Sometimes peeps are a little forgetful to come to this thread, but don't let that make you feel unwelcome, because you're Family now..

Hi Clumser,

Hi Clumser and Welcome to the group!! Sorry you have to be here, but under the circumstances it's a great place to be. We're all in the same boat and are glad to be of help when we can. Hope to see you around.

I was a regular in the MS chatroom about 10 years ago. My username was Debla. I was dx'd in 1979. I now have Lupus in addition to MS. I will be happy to get back to the chatroom.

Welcome back Sunflour Sorry for your new DX...ugh!

The chat room here doesn't get a lot of traffic, but maybe you can change that. I'm to slow moving for chat rooms anymore, but I think others like it.

Hi all! my name is clark and i was diagnosed from a brain mri in august. i cannot walk without a walker except for very short distances and it looks like im blitzed drunk, cannot drive either as my right leg is very difficult to lift even a little bit unless im fully rested. i am trying to get an appt with barrow neruological's ms clinic in phoenix, to start getting treated asap. right now i'm only getting some pain meds and gabapentin and they dont do much except knock me out...

i'm very worried that i will never walk normally again, i see people talk of remission and i'm wondering if you may have had a similar problem to mine (its like my thigh is asleep), and fullt recovered for periods of tiem. its very frustrating to not be able to drive, or even to take a bus, and cabs are very expensive.

is there anything i can be doing to help my condition until i can get on avionex or whatever they decide? i am eating a good diet with veggies and protein every day, (i'm also diabetic).

does anyone else have any problems getting pain meds? my clinic dr wouldnt give me anything, she said i had to see my phys therapy dr. i am on oxycodone 5-325, and sometimes i have to take a second pill if after an hour the first one has no effect (i'm near 400 lbs so it may take higher dosage to work for me, not sure how these pills work). so anyway my phys therapy dr only gives me 60 pills with instructions to take up to 6/day and expects them to last me 3-4 weeks, and i feel like a junkie if i ask for more :/

anyway ty in advance, it looks like there is some good info at this forum adn i will be doing lots of reading
