Look who crashed the party!

Hello all, I've also got a case of Mass Exodusitis (oh yeah, and MS). this place is kinda huge so I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. Anywho, I'm glad to see some familiar people and am looking forward to getting to know those whom I don't already. Take care.

Twinkletoes 01-20-2008 11:21 PM

*Stands* I am an MSW apostate. *sits back down*

I'd love to post cute animated pics like y'all, but I don't even know how to get my VCR off 12:00. Lol.

My creditials: RRMS dxd April 2006. On Copaxone.

Is it okay if I hang out here?

(Do I have to go thru hazing or anything like that to belong?)

*wanders off to look for red carpet*

SandyC 01-21-2008 12:31 AM

I hope there isn't a hazing! LOL

Sassy, you didn't mention a hazing.

jowen214 01-21-2008 12:53 AM

:mfr_wha: A HAZING?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Wha'????? Say it ain't so!!!!! :Scratch-Head:









<----newbie who obviously likes the fun smilies :Grin-Nod: no, where's the diet coke smilie?

NaeNae 01-21-2008 02:01 AM

As long as the hazing doesn't involve stickiness and feathers!

Newbie
 
Hello to all and hugs to you for being survivors of your illness'. :hug:My name is Kim and I have probably the same things as everyone else!! :D DDD, Scoliosis, Tremors, RLS, Severe Spinal Stenosis, & oh Bi-polar! Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed, but then if I don't, the pain is just as great as getting up. Can't sit, lie, or stand for very long periods of time. I am glad I have you all to converse with and laugh with. If we can't keep our humor about us in our conditions, we may as well not get up at all. :)
Maybe someone can enlighten me about docs. My neuro said he could not do anything for me. Hell, I guess I am looking forward to a chair, NOT! :mad: My mind refuses but my body keeps saying, guess what? So there you have it. I am 55 single and happy. Feel free to stop by sometime, up for conversation. See ya! :cool:

Or eating something that's looking at me. :eek: lol!

jprinz99 01-21-2008 08:52 AM

Hi everyone! I said this on another thread, but want to make sure everyone notices me (since humbleness is my best virtue). I am also a part of the MSW mass move. Funny, I never got my engraved invitation to come here. Thanks to Putter I found all y'all.

I am a 39 y/o Swamp Yankee now living VA. Been with my DH Michael for 18 years and we care for my DSister Sara. I have a goofy dog (golden ret/irish setter) and a very vocal cat.

I am "highly probable" on 2nd neuro. Have the asociated issues to make life interesting. Cuff crutches and AFOs for most of the day and a chair for field trips. I dont drive due to seizures so watch out I might ask for a ride on the next road trip.

Feel like I have found the secret clubhouse:grouphug:

jprinz99 01-21-2008 08:53 AM

We have to go thru hazing?!? Oh no, and me without a party dress!

tkrik 01-21-2008 12:00 PM

Newbie here although feel at home with several familiar faces.:) Glad to see them.

I did an intro on the New Member board but it's been a few hours and it hasn't posted. Don't know where that went. LOL. Fumbling through how this new board works. LOL

I really don't feel like going through the hazing process. Besides, how would I be hazed with MS? Walking 50 ft without an assistive device? Stepping in and out of the bathtub more than twice? Or maybe a neuropsych test? LOL

Kitty 01-21-2008 06:41 PM

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie and I posted on the other thread but thought I'd sign in here too! :)

FaithS 01-21-2008 06:54 PM

I'm Faith.
 
Have had MS for 6 years. Been dx for 4.

Tend to have big flares, about a year apart. 2-week hospitalizations, etc. Big variety of symtoms -- stroke-like -- cognitive, manic, vision, etc.

Most recent flare was finally less severe. Just lots of fatigue. I attribute that to double dose of /betaseron, and sleepng pill at night during steroids to help me get adequate rest.

Good to meet you all.

~ Faith

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

Pepper 01-21-2008 11:03 PM

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

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

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.:(

Guyskitten 01-21-2008 11:15 PM

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

Bearygood 01-22-2008 01:17 AM

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!! :grouphug:

JoHnKy 01-22-2008 01:23 AM

Just a Bit About....
 
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.
