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?
TWW!! 2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
I just absolutely love some women on here! Some woman wants to write on another women's post telling her she shouldn't be having sex at all in the beginning of pregnancy. I didn't know she was her doctor. Then she wants to tell me that the first trimester is only 1-9 weeks pregnant. And she lost her baby at 4 weeks pregnant due to sex. Like sweetie that's your period starting!
Dad's FB Video!! Did anyone see that video a dad posted on his daughters FB page? He saw a post she made where she bashed her parents and cursed them, called them lazy and told them they should pay her for stuff she did around the house... So he called her out on it and put the video on her page!! Sorry if I missed a post already about this already, but I just saw the video and IT WAS AWESOME!!! Hahahhaa!

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

My uncle was diagnosed with MS 5-6 years ago, with diet, medication and lifestyle changes you would never know he had it.

My mother has MS. She was diagnosed when I was 16. I am now 37.
She is a pediatric nurse that works full time. She also is a huge help in watching my 4 wild sons when I need a break. Her doctors are amazed at how much the MS is not taking over her life.

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! ?

All cases are so different, my mom has a friend with ms who is in her 50s sith 3 kids. She was diagnosed years and years ago I think in her 30s. She has some off days but she is in great health and has yet to need any kind of assistance for anything.

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.
