Any OGs remember me?
I need some words of encouragement. I am waiting on a spinal tap to confirm a preliminary diagnosis of MS. I just got the results of my MRI today. And even though it's what I suspected I'm devastated. Dd is only 5. Will I be able to walk by the time she's in HS? Will she grow up wishing she had a normal healthy mom?
Thank you for all your support ladies. And it always helps to hear stories of people who are doing so well with it! As always, r&r ladies are the best. ?
Hi there! ? I don't remember your user name but I have only been around r&r about a year and a half. I'm very sorry to hear about all of the rough stuff you and your family have been going through. It's got to be very scary! I do not know that much about MS but I try to research all I can when I have to deal with a new health problem. Sometimes I learn about certain questions to ask at the doctor that I wouldn't have known to ask unless I had Googled it. Welcome back & hugs! ?
Hey! ??
I remember you ?
I'm sorry you're back because you hit a low point. ? I know a great woman who has MS. She's walked every year in the MS walk for as long as I can remember. She's just now gotten to the point where it's too painful but she won't let it get her down.
I know it is and will continue to be hard but it isn't a death sentence. You will still be the wonderful person you are and your daughter will see that. She will see you fighting this battle and it will encourage her to fight whatever fights she encounters too.
I wish you the best, OP. I hope you stick around. ❤ My condolences for your niece as well. What a tragedy. ?
My uncle has had Ms for 45 years, it will be okay!
He's fine other than the pain that comes with it. He can still get up n walk but after 45 years of living with it he's now using a cane n wheel chair for more of a comfortable-ness mindset. My step grandma had MS all her life and was confined to a wheelchair as she got older. There are different degrees of MS, just live in the present and don't think of the what ifs for now. There are so many advances now in medicine and procedures that will help keep you stable. I'll pray for you!
Hi Panda!
I remember you! I actually remember you as a very strong woman. I know you got very scary news today. I know several people with ms and none of them are in wheelchairs. It's such a different disease for everyone. Take some time to digest the news and then start looking into how you can be the healthiest you.
I'm sorry about your niece too.
Love and light mama.
My sister has it and in the beginning it was hard she goes for her medicine which is very important but she also did a lot of research and changed her diet completely. No gluten no dairy no soy and she barely has flare ups anymore. She eats super healthy, don't get me wrong she does indulge from time to time but she has been doing great. Eat lots of green fresh veggies everything organic and cage free and she does a lot of smoothies
