Ready to Join the Multiple Sclerosis Family ! Posted: 09-23-07 09:22am
I am all new to this just newly being Dx
with MS but, sure I have had it for
awhile. I have been doing plenty for
research during my awake greeving process.
So, at least I put those amost 48 hours of
no sleep to good work. Looking foward to
learning more and how to best cope with
this disease. Unfortunatly. One of the
main MS drugs have way to may side effects
that I already have the disease for.
Tyroid, low white count
(immune-compromised system from MRSA
bacteria). So, guess I will have to be one
to face my relapses with a grin.
Looking forwad to meeting you all. Shame
it has to be this way.

I went to see an MS neuro specialist this
morning and he said he doubts very much at
my age I have MS. But, what I so have is
hardening of the brain arteries. So he put
me on a baby asprin a day and said that
the white matter lesions (3) that showed
up could possbibilly be small strokes
going un-noticed by me. The asprin should
help the blood flow thinner through the
sclorotic arteries now and avoid any other
damage (we hope).
In in nut shell he is not saying I to not
have MS, all he is saying that there are
other things wrong with me that could be
casuing these syptoms. He is running blood
work. He said because of my age, it is
uncommon to get MS at this time, be not
impossible.
Hugs,

Can I Join This Group? Posted: 11-13-07 05:16am
I've read almost everything on this web
site and have never felt such caring and
knowledgeable people. I'm interested in
keeping up to date with everyone's
messages, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it
right. So once again, I'd like to join,
and I'd like to know how. Any help would
greatly be appreciated.
Thank you all in advance.
Sincerely,
Ginamarie
