Hi Mexigirl, nice to see you. :)

Karilann, so sorry to hear about your MIL. That's just awful for you. Please accept my congdolences.

Hi Agate, glad your are here, too.

I think I've said Hi to the rest of you. If not, please excuse the holes in my brain.:p

Hi, Just found out about Brain Talk 2. I've missed keeping up with everyone over the summer. Glad this new site was started. I've never been a big poster however, I'll try to do better this year. Betty

Hi Betty, nice to see you.:)

Hi to everyone! Nice to see this forum picking up steam. Hopefully more will find us.

Karilann, so very sorry to hear about your mother-in-law, and her years of pain. It must be very difficult for you and the rest of your family. Glad you are here.

Jmak, welcome; I hope your fall will be better than your summer! (your bummer summer, that is).

Sally, Thanx for the welcome. I see your from the Ohio Valley. My husband and I are from Martins Ferry. Great place to grow up, we have so many fond memories of those high school football games etc!!!!

We don't make it back to the valley often enough now that are parent's have passed and we only have one sibling left in the valley. Luckily our daughter lives in the Pgh area, so sometimes we just visit her and take a day to go see what's changed in the valley. Betty

Hello Bntgal,
long time....I decided to drop in and see how everyone was doing and everyone was gone. That was an eerie feeling, ha. Hope you are doing okay over yonda. ;)

So glad to "see" you Wayleaf!!

Well, DOG MY CAT!!! (Wow haven't used that expression since the mid eight-teen hundreds.) :D How are you ole pal? So nice to see your username lighting up the board once more. Yep, can you imagine all the shocked people who decide to just drop in and find braintalk is no more. Glad you found your way here though. Hope everyone else looking for the original site is able to do the same.

I'm doing quite lousy, thanks for asking. :( This goofy disease has decided to progress, so am going to probably be switching to Rebif in October. Was hoping to just go back to monthly solu for a bit, but my GP doesn't want me to because my sugar is too high. Have to see him this Wednesday and I imagine he is going to want me to start taking meds for Diabetes. I just started taking yet another BP med, a beta blocker. Who in the world invented those things??? I'm finally down to just being sick for about a hour a day now. A big improvement from the 8 hours a day I spent sick when I originally started taking the pill last Friday.

Other then that though, I'm doing great! LOL

How goes it with you? How's your health treating you? So good to see you once again. Don't you be a stranger now.

Well, I am another one from the old Braintalk. Boy have I missed it! I posted there since early 2001 under VMJ. Just started using my first name here because I had to have more characters anyway.

I recognize so many of the names here. Hopefully, more people will find this spot. I just happened to do a search for Braintalk Communities, and that is how I found this place.

Have done some reading on other forums this summer while waiting for BT to come back up, however I have not been posting. I just always have felt BT had more good information than anyplace else that I found.

I think if we keep this one going more of our people will eventually find it. My thanks to everyone who is trying, and of course to the person who came up with this idea.

DAR. the problem is you probably have not being doing enough fishing!!! Seriously, I am sorry you are having it so rough right now. Have you ever used kyolic garlic in addition to bp meds? It is known for lowering bp. I don't imagine it would be enough by itself but it might help hold the line or make it so less meds are needed. (just a thought).

Anyhoo, I am okay. I'm still on the Swank diet and Copaxone. We sold our house in the country and bought a 1930 house across from a beautiful park in town. Dennis loves it since we have acres of green grass now but someone else does the mowing, :D.

The house had not been fixed up for about 40 yrs so it was a 'wee' bit of work to get the outside looking like a yard. We have the living room, dining, entry, sunroom and downstairs bath done. I'm currently working in the stairwell and have the upstairs to redo.

Right now I'm making reproduction antique clocks for Christmas presents and am planning a grandfather clock to make for the dining room. Dennis is on vacation for 2 weeks and has been going salmon fishing so you know he's happy.

I do hope others arrive since I'd really like to read how everyone is doing and say hi. Take real good care BnT. margie
