Hi. I am 53 yo with a husband of 14 years and two boys (6 and 9 yo). I was diagnosed in 10/2009 with unspecified demylinating disease. It was confirmed via spinal tap. I am seeing both a naturopathic doc and my nuro. (just switched to an MS only nuro. Was on Copaxone but kept relapsing or maybe just getting pneumonia and all kinds of other infections as the previous nuro said. Waiting for results of ultrasound on kidney area then starting on Tysabri. Each day is a challenge just to get my kids to school. Of course my hubby wants to know when I will get better so life can go on. I have thought about ending it many times (my life not my marriage) but realize those two small boys need me! Questions: has anyone tried acupuncture for pain? I sincerely look forward to this forum to get feedback and vent! Thanks for listening!

JSBh2o,
I am 56 with 20 year old twins. I was disagnosed in 2002 with Primary Progressive MS. This does suck! When I think of ending it (This thought crosses many pained lives), I think of Frost's poem "The wood are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep. And miles to go before I sleep." Kids are like that.
