i am new to this site. i have been ill since may 1996, actually about 9 months before that symptoms started but may 96 was when they admitted me to hosp for diagnostic testing to see what was wrong with me.  YEARS AND YEARS have passed, i have been diagnosed with SEVERAL diseases one being primary progressive MS. i am so so SOOOOoooo frustrated with being disabled.  each year i am a little worse than the prior yr. my family and dr's notice it more than i do.  i am a very athletic 46 yrs old who's body WILL NOT keep up with this old lady.  i have not been to a MS support group meeting since 97 and have no communication with the outside world really. i would like to talk to others who are ill with my symptoms and ONE of my diagnosis :).  i am so sorry to hear how ill all of you are and the frustration you all deal with each day.  thanks for listening.
