Why I haven't been around...(or dealing with diagnosis)

I have a friend who has it. She is very upbeat and positive most of the time, but her's had progressed rather quickly. She also has a bit of trouble with her speach. She told me about some new experimental steriods they were planning on trying on her.

I hope you go into a long long long remission, and that you MS never gets to the point my friends has gotten.

I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. A diagnosis like that is tough to handle.
My sister has MS, but was already in a wheelchair. It does not seem to affect her much at all. I pray that it does the same for you.

Oh Heidi - I was so sorry to hear about this. Hugs, prayers and purrs from all of us to you...if it helps at all, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in February. After seeing my grandmother suffer with it, I was devastated. But medical science has really progressed the past several years. I hope that they can find the right meds for you like they did for me.

It seems that most everyone has someone affected by MS, one of my SIL's was diagnosed years ago with no obvious symptoms to date and one of my clients has MS and uses a cane to aid her balance.
Changing your diet and limiting stress in your life (easy to say, hard to do) is supposed to help.
Wishing you the best for a long remission.

Lots of vibes that the progression is really slow!

Heidi - I am sorry about the diagnosis.

I sure hope that the symptoms don't progress for decades - and that you go into a long remission very soon.



On the scientific side, I am very interested in the myelin sheath and have done some reading on it. There have been great advances in treating diseases that affect it, such as ALS, so I believe that great treatment is just around the corner.

I am hoping you are able to deal with whatever the illness throws your way. Sending healing prayers.

Heidi - I'm so sorry to hear about the diagnosis. Many hugs, and to you.

Oh no Heidi.

I am sending mucho vibes that your MS goes into remission and stays there forever.

I had been wondering what you had found out, but knew you would share whatever the test results were, when you were ready.

Sending many for a long remission, and for advances in treatment.

If there is anything I can do to support you, please let me know.

*hug Heidi* Add me to the list of people pulling for you, Lamb. You know how to find me if you want or need to. Remember what I told you on the phone last night - find one thing each and every day to have a deep belly-laugh about - it will help to keep things in perspective. Love you awful!

I am sending you all the vibes Heidi! *hugs*

I'm pulling for you too, Heidi.

Tons of long long decades remission vibes heading your way.

Ditto!

I am not a doctor but I watch doctor shows and I can recommend you hug a kitty every chance you get.

(((HUGS))), Heidi.

Prayers and hugs for you!!

You guys are the best!

I'm currently in the process of deciding on a treatment plan. My doctor gave me materials for a couple to choose from and we'll get started on that soon.
