Ojpinky and Jennifer!

One big, warm, tight, hug, handshake and howdy, moose-size official type welcome to the site. This place is amazing!

The only thing you can count on with MS is that you can't count on anything with MS. (I've had it for 5 years.)

Kudos to you for educating yourself on it. I wish you both the best.

Just remember;

You are not alone.
You are one of us.
And we are here to help.

I am the MonSter MS fears.

thanks for all the warm welcomes this is Ozzy. a little on our screen name O=Ozzy my name J= jenny and pinky is the name of our parakeet. i bought pinky for jenny because i thought it would help her take her mind off of ms and give her something to entertain her self with when shes not focusing on her school or entertainments career. Jennifer is a model,singer,dancer,actor. the quadruple threat.she has the voice of an angel i will try and post a sample up for you guys when i get past the 10 post limitations and also pictures of her and my self. jenny should be signing on later today because over the weekend she hasn't been feeling all that well and she is scared because she thinks she might be going into an MS crisis. she says she feels very anxious and she has been nauseous.she also told me she feels an overall drained feeling,but doesnt feel "sick" per say.i saw some asked if we work well i do work full time and part time. i work full time and manage an online Tire store and part time i am trying to open up my own wheel&tire/auto customization shop. jenny works part time some times she gets singing gigs on the weekends and she also choreographs dances for girls 15th birth day parties (for Hispanics its the equivalent to a sweet 16 party). so we will both be sharing this account and we will head who is answering or responding. happy work/school/rest day to all

Hi Ozzy and Jenny

Cheers!

Be there for her man!

She'll have down days, knowing she has full support will make her life much more fulfilling.

Hi Oj, just checking in to see how you guys are doing.

Welcome to our board. Jennifer has found herself a mighty fine man. It puts the term 'in sickness and in health' in a whole new realm doesn't it? Have her come join you here if she feels like it. There are a lot of young people here that have gone through a lot of the problems you may be facing --- intimacy, children, etc.

I have had MS since '99 and probably since '05 and am on Avonex.

Welcome to the board Ozzy and Jennifer! Sheesh! So young!

Florida's not so bad for MS. We lived there for 9 years. Of course, living south of Miami puts ya in the tropical zone so temps over 92 degrees or so were rare. We still got a condo on Trasure Island near St. Pete - that can get hot. Where in Florida are you?

We live in Houston now. Been here over 10 years. Now this place is HOT! But I'm still active. MS hasn't been a problem. Other things have, but not MS.

Oh. I've had MS for over 21 years. Dx'ed at 30. And I'm a guy. It's supposed to be worst for guys... I don't have any outwardly noticeable symptoms (nobody ever asks me if somehing's wrong), and nobody knows I have it. So, Jennifer - there's always the possibility it won't be a big deal. I know, this sounds like it's out in left field, but most MS'ers have a relatively normal life.

I have a really fun job. I even get to be on TV during shuttle missions! The last mission was mine, so I'm off the next 2 missions (long explanation - won't go into it). And nobody would even be tempted to think I have a medical condition such as MS... There's a lot of people out there living this kind of life with MS.

Hi and Welcome to NeuroTalk!! Glad you found us even though I'm sorry you have to be here. As you're discovering, there are many caring people here who really understand what you and Jennifer are going through. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have or just stop by for a chat.

I've been diagnosed with MS for nineteen years but feel it was around fourteen years before that. There have been alot of treatment improvements in that time and I'm glad Jennifer is doing so well on Avonex. All the best to you both!

hey good friday morning to all of you. well jenny is feeling better. she is now working on fixing some of her medical insurance issues to go and see her physician and then get referred to a new specialist under that insurance. when she goes i am going to have her ask the specialist about something to help her with her anxiety. sorry that she hasnt been able to get on and post although she has been meaning to our schedules are hectic right now but she will try and make a quick cameo on here soon. i have been telling her how nice everyone is on here and shes amazed of how welcoming y'all are. well we wish everyone a great weekend and be safe.
