I have ms too. I have had ms for 19 years now. The symptoms come and go like a real bad trip on LSD. I have spells where I lost my eye sight, lost bowl movements, week blander, stabbing or tripping for no reason, loss of memories, weak arm, hand, and legs. The list goes on and on. I have taken rebif, avonex, and copaxone for my ms, I am on rebif as of now. I also take a whole list of other meds. Because I feel like a failure of letting my husband down and my children I became really depressed. I had to realize that love is stronger and understanding each other is what make you feel better. My husband left me but my children are still with me. Just make sure have a good support group around you. There is a group called the MS focus and I am a member. They have books you can check out to read, and they have a great network of help in all problems known to ms. I sent in a sassy on how I was feeling and that I would love a sewing machine to sew my daughter a dress Japanese style one. I got my answer from them, the machine was far better than I could have ever dream of owning. They also have trips for groups of people with ms. Please give them a try. There is a whole world of help out there. You can contact me anytime if you have any questions about ms. God bless and take care.
