you know sometimes its so hard to answer some threads, I mean what can I say that can help such a situation I hesitate to response sometmes. for this I am sorry to everyone its not right,

I am sorry for what you are going through, this may seem odd but i want to thank you, for opening my eyes, the self pity ones, this illness can do so many things, changes us forces us to accept, if we like it or not. Sometimes i forget i am still in early stages, using cane driving a lot less and other fun things, sure wish magic worked, would stay up a week straight to help heal everyone with magical words, instead I ask you to accept my kind loving caring words of friendship to let you know, you are thought of

They have implanted neuro stimulators that can be placed in your back to confuse the pain signals. They have medication pumps to deliver meds directly into your spine, so it by passes your guts, and get right to work. You would really benefit from a nice soak in a warm bath. Is your family able to operate a hoyer lift? Its a sling you sit in, and then it transfers you to the tub by a swinging arm. Or can put you in bed. Most Hospital pools are very warm, and have such lifts. I would ask for PT at the hospital and go enjoy what the warm water does for relaxing your muscles.

I am sorry you lost your car. I lost mine last year. It really was hard to let it go. I got a cheap POS for now. It will serve its purpose till I figure out what to do.

Please seek out help that specializes in YOUR conditions. not just an MS MD.

I hope you feel better.

Thank every one of you who offered such kind words of encouragement and good suggestions!!! I'll be back tomorrow to answer each of you -- my eyes are too tired right now!!!! You're the greatest!!!!!

Hugs..........
