Hi,

I'm sorry to read about your DX :(

Eight years ago, I remember when my neurologist put the films from my
MRI on the light-box and I looked at them and said, with a huge grin,
'Great! It's only MS!'

He'd forgotten that I used to market brain scanners and, hence, knew
what plaques looked like; he said that mine was not the usual
response to a positive DX of MS!

I explained that I thought I had a brain tumour as I had lost two
friend to that so the DX was a relief.

Coincidentally, I met with my neurologist this morning and he
confirmed, as usual, that there were still no medications that he
knew of that would help me... SNAFU, then!

It would appear that, although my DX was RR-MS, the annoying symptoms
are gradually getting worse but, as Charlene said, a healthy diet
seems to be helping me a lot; I'm non-smoking, vegetarian and only
drink about three units a week anyway and eat mostly organic food -
Gosh, that sounds so dull!

My three daughters have moved away and my life-prop now is my partner
and he keeps my spirits up wonderfully, which is appropriate for next
Thursday :)

I love cooking and my kitchen is arranged like an OCD sufferers
paradise! This saves me cutting myself *too* much when I cook
although the iron still seems to have it in for me! :( I leave the
dishes for him, which he loves and, No!, you can't have him!

Life *does* still go on, it's just a bit different! I like new
challenges and MS certainly gives me them!

Love and hugs
