| its been awhile
I just wanted to say hit to everyone, I have been reading the posts just to keep up on how everyone is doing, but at the moment I am moving 2 1/2 hours away and trying to find a new job that doesnt require so much detail.
I tried to make it to an MS specialist but I just couldnt do it before my medical ran out.
I figure I will just be doing what I know I should, like cutting out caffeine and certain foods and trying to be more active. although walking is becoming much harder for me.
I was told by one doctor that my symptoms seem to point to a brainstem and spinal lesions, but at this point I have been told so many things that I just shrugged it off. I did notice the other day while visiting the place I am moving ( temp was over 100 ) that my speech became very slurred and I felt like I was struggling more and more to get the words out. my walking also became very difficult and painful, however once I got into an a/c for about an hour I felt much better and could talk more clearly, still felt fatigued and tried to take a nap.
luckly summer only has a couple months left.
as far as the back and forth I have gotten from the doctors about MS and the different things I have been told by the doctors about it, I just finally realized that yes there are treatment options and yes they do help, but there is not cure and some of the treatments seem to cause side effects that I am just not ready to deal with. so at this point like I said, I am just going to have to learn when to much is to much.
and my hubby is going to have to learn that when I say I think I need wheels to get around today, that I really do mean it. because I am not going to go through what I did just because he thinks I dont need it.
I am not angry... I just am trying to be realistic with it all and just wanting to take care of myself and hopefully my family will realize I need there help every now and then.
but I did really want to stop by and say hi to everyone.
I have been keeping up on the posts, just not much time to post myself.
so please all take care, it may be awhile before I can stop and say hi again.

Please don't be a stranger -- your input is valuable and we want to know how you're doing. Thanks for the thanks -- I haven't really been around so much lately but I've seen some of the newer people are doing a great job, too! A lot of us got information from this board in the first place and it's always great to see people giving back. Pretty much a "pay it forward" kind of thing.
