Default Hi! I'm MSDave.....
I'm new around here, but not new to MS. I was diagnosed Jan 2nd 96. Happy New Year huh? I had one massive attack and it put me in the hospital. I determined right then and there that MS was not going to beat me, and have set on a course to fight back. I work with the V.A., on request, speaking to new patients and even doctors about MS and communicating with each other. I have talked at a local university a couple of times, and at a few MS conferances. On those occasions my concern is Pain Management and the way it is treated, or the lack of it.

Now I am going to try to be here as much as possible, but currently my house is being upgraded and this means I'll have to unplug and move my computer for a few days to protect it. Having said this, I'll be reading posts here and then if I can, I'll help out too. Thanks for letting me be a part of this!

Welcome MSDave!

It does look familiar

However, Dave's a familiar name!

I actually post on 2 other forums myself. One of the 2, I use a completely different username.

Yes, there are a lot of us Daves out here. Again, I used to run the MS information area on MSN. Until that is, I had to go in to the hospital for a sudden valve replacement and had to stay there for 3 months recovering. By the time I got back to the site, most of 400 members were gone due to all the trouble makers that showed up. Can't blame them and sure wish they had had a system like the one in place here.

Yes, I used to run a board on MSN called MS information area. That was a few years ago though. I'm still a charter member of the disabilites meeting place over there as well. The manager there was the one that taught me how to set up and run a site, though it was nowhere near as nice as this one is.
