Default Hello, Everyone...I'm Strk3
New to this site but not MS or related boards. Just thought I would stop in, check it out and say hello to some old friends...and possibly make some new ones.

I've had MS (or possible MS) for 6 years. I've been lucky thus far with my MS and am thankful on a daily basis for what I have. I will nt complain as many have it worse. Plus, who'd listen? LOL.

I have 2 boys, 6 & 4, and they're my life. And, with a little more sucking up, a little courting and possibly a bribe or two along the way (in addition to some flowers and promises I hope to some day keep) I may be able to convince my wife for a third. So, MS be damned. Life goes on, right?

I've been a part of another MS board for the last 6 years so its been a long time since I introduced myself. So bare with me. As for "what I do," I'm an attorney. I'll give you a minute to curse and think of bad lawyer jokes (which are always welcome with me). If I can be of assistance, let me know (pro bono, of course). I like to help MSers if I can even if its just on the forum with "unofficial" suggestions.

I live in a small town south of Chicago. I see a neuro at Rush. He's awesome. He's a little miffed that I'm not treating and haven't seen him in 2 years but I told him its not him, its me. We were growing apart. LOL! Now, I'm off to see him with wife in tow to go over an MRI which had a change (duh! Its been 2 years what did he think it was stable? HA) so I'll probably get an earful about treatment. That should go over well with my wife who has wanted me to treat but has left it to me. Thats a longer story and involves Mayo recommending that I not treat for now. I can go into that later if need be.

Any way, thats me in short. I hope some of my old MSWorld buddies remember me and find me here. And, I hope to make some new friends as well. See you on the board!

Stay well.

Strk3

Hiya Strk3 and welcome! It took you long enough to find the place! Don't they let lawyers have GPS or maps? We left a trail of crumbs for you MONTHS ago!

Let the games begin!!! LOL!

Ugly mug? I'll have you know, everyone, that Flygirl used to refer to me as Mr. Pitt in another life dating back some 6 years. Thanks for the welcome. How are you? I hope all is well. We've got some catching up to do. As soon as I figure out this site, that may be easier. HA! I've thought about you and our old gang a lot. Without sounding like a religious zealot (no offense to the zealots on the board), I've kept you all in my prayers each night and so have my boys. Who else is here regularly or semi-regularly? I'll tell ya, Flygirl, you were there for me when I was first diagnosed and really helped me. I've never forgotten that and hoped to do the same for others on the old board. Still try but haven't been as active with life getting in the way (baseball, work, becoming a degenerate poker players ha!, etc). And, you were there through the online Tysabri debates, too. Ah, the good ole days. Glad you chimed in and thanks again for the warm welcome.

Day, thanks for the welcome, too. Much appreciated.

Stay well.

River, hey there!!! Geez, its like the whole gang is here. Why didn't someone club me over the head and drag me here? How ya been? (And, I think "months" is an understatement...I've just been busy...as if thats an excuse)

So pretend no one is listening and give me the low down on this joint. If I mention politics will a hit be put out on me? You know how I get sometimes. HA!!!

Is Laurie4030 here? Ceci? Anyone else?

Welcome to NeuroTalk!

I'm curious about your username. Strk3 = Strike three?
