Hi there! I am right in Barrie!!! I was diagnosed last May, it has definitely not been a fun year. Are you doing the MS Walk on April 17th?

Nice to meet you!

Hi

I am from Bass lake near Smiths Falls. About 5 hours from Barrie. I am still waiting for a definitive diagnosis. I see my neuro on the 07th of April. Hopefully I will find out something then. He said he was 95% sure I had MS. I want to start treatment but they want to be 100 percent. I just had another MRI and an evoke potential test Time will tell

Take Care
Tom

Nice to meet all of you and I haven't been diagnosed yet. I lived in Barrie for two years now I'm in the Midland area. I hear you when you say it hasn't been a fun year, the same here. Not much support in this area. I think what's needed is just someone to talk to and I can't seem to get chat to work on here

You might just need to update your java for the chat? it is a free download.

I find we need an MS specialist in the Barrie or Northern Ontario areas. I am having a hard time getting a definitive DX as well. The neuros here are too scared to DX unless you are almost paralyzed here but it sux to ask for a specialist in Toronto as it is a far drive for us (especially from midland)

We need a better support group in this area. The Barrie group only meets on fridays at 10am and I work full time so I cant meet with them. I hear you!!

Is anyone in Barrie on disease modifying medications such as copaxone, etc.? I have met a few (including myself) that dont seem to be on it and now I am curious about whether the docs here are not giving it out for some reason.

I have asked for a second opinion - a referral to Toronto clinic

[sallylou]

I was given a choice of which med to take, there is a booklet, and a video, that , gives you questions in terms of how often you are okay to inject, what type of side effects you can tolerate, etc. I chose copaxone, and that is what I have been taking since last December, my neuro is in Huntsville, and I think has been wonderful.
