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!
