That no one else can see. It likes to make me dizzy and sometimes slows my speech. It likes to make me walk funny and it really hates the heat. It is a clever trickster deceiving everyone by my looks. It will manifest itself when it... http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/58682/30471/monster http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/58682/30082/venting Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:56:38 -0400 theresag79 I am having one of those days where I don't look like anythings the matter but I don't feel so good.  My feet and calves hurt so bad.  Right around the ankles the most.  It hurts when I walk.  No one would know though, unless I told them.  I said a couple of times today, my feet hurt, to my mother and she didn't say anthing like she didn't even hear me.  It kinda of made me feel bad like she doesn't care.  So... http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/58682/30082/venting http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/58682/29271/ms-food Thu, 29 May 2008 11:24:35 -0400 theresag79 I have decided not to think about the fact that I have MS.  If I don't think about it I feel better.  Almost forgetting that I have it, except there are certain things that makes it hard for me to forget.  One of the most annoying ones is my tastebuds.  I don't know how many of my fellow online MS friends have this problem but I cannot enjoy foods any longer because my ability to taste has diminished.  This is upsetting... http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/58682/29271/ms-food http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/58682/28433/ms Tue, 20 May 2008 18:46:13 -0400 theresag79 Yesterday I went to an appointment and my husband accompanied me.  The lady that I was seeing asked me some questions that I did my best to answer and my husband turned around and asked me " Are you feeling o.k.?"  His question didn't imply concern but embaresment. Now I didn't realize until that point that there was anything wrong with me besides a headache and that I was appearing out of it. But his question ticked me off because as... http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/58682/28433/ms http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/58682/27830/ms Wed, 14 May 2008 10:55:29 -0400 theresag79 I was thinking about this disease and my daughter.  I know that it hasn't been proven that MS is a genetic disorder but many times if someone in the family has it there is a greater chance that others in the family can also get it.  And it is more common in women than men.  I know of someone that has MS, as well as her mother and 2 sisters.  Now that makes me worry about my daughter, GOD bless her.  She is only 8... http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/58682/27830/ms http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/58682/27326/guess Thu, 08 May 2008 08:56:21 -0400 theresag79 I went online to Social Security to find out about applying for disability.  Funny thing, I really don't need disability.  I think I am fine physically and able to work.  I do struggle with fatigue, I don't know if I would be able to hold down a full-time job.  I currently work-at-home part time.   I went online to find about disability because of the insurance.  I need insurance.  I can't afford it out of... http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/58682/27326/guess
