Still Not Diagnosed, But Receiving Disability

Though I still have numerous symptoms, multiple lesions, and at least one active lesion - I still have not been diagnosed with MS. My lumbar puncture came back ok. Since the Veterans Administration was not able to come up with a diagnosis or clear reason why I couldn't deploy to Iraq, I am now sitting in a little trailer about 50 miles south of...

So hard to maintain a positive attitude

I'm quickly losing faith in the power of positive thinking. I think it's partly because, for the past 10 years, I've been able to adapt to the many changes and set-backs in my physical abilities.

MS Goes to the Office (Will the Real Tim Conway Please Stand Up)

Life at the office can get interesting when you bring MS to work.I spend four hours a day at my office job. I'm very fortunate that my MS is accepted as part of the package. My co-workers get it. They've seen me fairly skip down the hallway and they've seen me when I can barely put one foot in front of the other. They're not surprised when I am... Read more Chevron
