I'm new here but I have been hearing about this site for a while at . I thought it was time to spread my wings and fly around to see what else is out there.

There are so many great threads here for so many different things, even besides MS. I look forward to checking some of them out.

On MSW I was brooks1teacher with a sign off of Weeble because that's whT I look like and often feel like, in the most wobbly sense of a Weeble.

I'm 37, divorced, no kiddos, one great cat, and a teacher who loves her jobs most days. Almost summer vacation, two months to go for me. I was diagnosed as RRMS in 12/06/05 after almost a year of searching for a diagnosis.

I was on Copaxone for almost two years but that didn't work very well for me. I switched to Rebif last November but am currently on vacation from it due to liver enzyme issues.

I look forward to seeing lots of familar screen names and participating in this forum.

Thanks,
Weeble

Hiya, and welcome. I think you are going to love this place as there
is lots of info, support, and fun.

Its nice to see you here.

Hello Weeble and welcome to NeuroTalk.

Hi all! I recognize some of you from MSW! There I am exchangemom.

Someone suggested this site since I have to think about what med to try next. I was dxd 6/07 with no symptoms.

I found out by accident, literally, after a few broken bones. Started with Betaseron and went up gradually in dose. I had major surgery before going on Beta (accident) and was not feeling great anyway.

Gradually many things started happening and I kept getting so sick with sore throats that they wanted to take my tonsils out at 51!

I went off the Betaseron and have not been sick since and feel so much better. I did try meds for the side effects, but I had more side effects from them!

Now my doc wants to put me on Ty and I am not sure that is a good idea. I am allergic to 4 antibiotics and I understand there are frequent infections on Ty.

I have only had one bad episode in January so now I am RR. Looking for some other ideas besides Ty. Look forward to meeting you all.

Welcome Weebles and Starfish - I recognize you both! Pull up a chair - so much to read and learn here!

Thanks for the welcome. I recognize so many names here. It feels comfy already.

Hello Everyone:
I am living with a DX of MS and have been since 2/2001. I started taking Avonex for the first 2 years and have been on and off Rebif for the last 5 years or so. I am at the point that the relapses are more frequent and I am now seeking alternatives to conventional medication. I tried a body wrap this past weekend and amazingly it worked really well on my legs for the tingle and numbness I have been experiencing. I guess I am just seeking any information regarding additional natural methods that anyone has tried to help with the symptoms of this illness. Thank you all in advance for any information that can be proved. Look forward to getting to know you all.

Hi Aggiemama! Welcome to NeuroTalk!

Welcome to Neurotalk and the MS forum, Aggiemama! So nice to meet you.

I don't know too much about Natural MS therapys, but be careful to spend your money on phoney cures and therapys, because they're out there.

Hi Aggiemama-
I follow the Swank Diet for MS. Dr Swank conducted a 50 year (published) study on his patients that showed low levels of disability from MS over the long term. If you're not familiar with it, and are interested in learning more, feel free to PM me and I'll send you some links. Welcome!
