Well ok. I I was ok with having MS as long as I didn't look like I have MS. The walker is going to give it away.
I am going to get a good one. One with breaks, large wheels, and a seat! I have a terrible time out shopping because I need to find a place to sit down.
I find a bath room just so I can go sit down!
I have exercises to do and another appointment in two weeks. I like in a quad level house. Not good. Feel down the steps two weeks ago.
I bent over to pick something up the other day and fell forward. I know I was going down so I did so easily.
Seeing double a lot these past few days. My MS doctor knows this is going on. He has changed some of my meds and I just talked to them again today.
My concern is my lower body strength has never returned to normal after my first episode of ON. They say I am RRMS but I worry and wonder about that. I am SO tired even with Provigil.

Try checking into Tai Chi classes, been very helpful for my balance and strenght. Plus NMMS should foot the bill.
Quad house, sounds like a good reason to put in a slide. U could also put in a lift similiar to what is used at water parks to get the tubes to the top but instead of tubes u could hook up your walker. BTW: I saw good ones at Sams for around $125.00 I think. Also I suggest a set of longhorns attached to your walker so as to move ID its outta the way.....
