My MS is ok. I have been dx for 1 year. I had optic neuritis last May- regained about 95% of my vision in my left eye. Since then, I have had 1 flare up and recovered 100%. I am on Avonex- and hoping to switch to Antegren when it comes out....
I can't complain too much because I know things can be a lot worse. Most of the time- I live my life as normal and do not have too many symptoms. On other days, I can have a headache, pain in my arms, neck, shoulders, and L'hermittes down my spine. I am tired ALL the time.
It has taken me about a year, but I think I have finally accepted this pain in my butt called MS.. :)
How is YOUR MS???
*** I posted on your brother's website- he seems like an awesome person. What a great family you have!!

>This came from a MS Friend of mine & this is a great message of giving God thanks in the midst of a storm. You know, it took a long time before I could give thanks to God for my illnesses & now I'm thankful! Just think of all the people even celebrities I have meant & been able to reach out to for God. Yes, I have some really bad days & my awake hours & my abilities to function is getting shorter but I know my Lord is with me & I know where I'm going when I die! I pray you have the peace of God & can feel His presence & most importantly, you know
