Thank you so much for your heartfelt comments. You're right. We're not alone.
Isolation is the worst thing we can do for MS. I'm always uplifted when I realize that some crazy MS symptom is not "just me".
By sharing our experiences with others with MS we can help each other beyond measure. Let's take that spirit into the new year!

Saturday, December 15, 2007 at 01:38 AMThank you Mandy. This is the first time I have ever posted a comment and was amazed to get a response. I will continue to log on and share views of others going through the same as me. It's good to know I'm not alone and I think I just joined a very special club

I cried and cried reading your message. I can so relate to everything you said. Everyone tells me almost daily how good I look and how well I am coping, but I have dozens of symptoms, that if I would allow it, could easily ruin my life!- Nobody sees the pins and needles, the incontinence, the numbeness etc.I paint on a smile each day and get out in the world, but everyday is full of struggles and pain. But to be positive is my only option. Thank God for my supportive husband. One day I will accept my diagnosis, but for now, 7 years on, I am still frustrated and mad as hell with the world.If I'm having a pity day, I try 2 things...to focus on what I have, not what I've lost, and to think of others less fortunate than me. This usually helps. I wish all MS suffers out there a Merry Christmas...You're not alone!
