I'm so computer illterate!!! I hope I do this correctly.

Thank you for the welcome!

Anyway, I am having trouble with shots in my arms. The medicine doesn't seem to want to inject into my arm?? Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? It's a pretty new auto-injector and works fine for my other shot areas.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or tips!

Hi, and welcome to the MS forum. Sorry I can't give you advice on your arms--I'm on Tysabri and can't remember having problems with my arms when I was on the injectibles.

Good luck to you. Don't give up!

Hello to you all!

I've been browsing this site for a couple of weeks now and felt a bit less lonesome, so thought I'd join. I'm amazed at the amount of support and compassion here.

In a nut shell, my condition started five months ago...was hospitalized for uncontrolled headache, double vision and seizures, within 7 days tremors started and by the time they discharged me, I couldn't walk properly. I've encountered various new symptoms such as spasms, pulsing nerve pain, tingling in the past months.

At first they diagnosed me with something called conversion disorder, but the psychologist I've been seeing is certain I have a neurological disorder. Back when I was hospitalized, the LP, Brain Mri/Mra were all negative. I've been in agressive PT for five months and my walking has gotten better, but still not normal...drop foot, tremors increased with physical exertion. Cognitively, I seem to be fine. I have been referred to the Mayo Clinic for testing and leaving in a few days. I'm scared, but anxious. Looking for the answers so that I can stare this monster in the face and tell him where to go. LOL! Really just needing answers so that I know what I am facing and can find reason in the things my body is doing. So happy to be amongst you people that are supportive and understand!

Welcome to NeuroTalk Butter. Nice to meet you. Please do join us anywhere. You will find a lot of support and friendship here.

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.
