Welcome to Rest Area 51 a place for newly diagnosed in recent days or years, please join us. We are MS newbies helping, sharing and supporting each other as we venture the uncharted waters as a new, or relatively new MS patients. Please feel free to visit Rest Area 51 as often, even daily, even if only to vent. I am On The Go and updating from Lakeland Fla via WiFi….
This is YOUR rest Area so feel free to share your ideas, experiences and support to your fellow newbies. We have a deep dark SNAKE PIT for us to throw doctors or anyone deserving of a good bite.
We all need to take Rest Breaks from the MSrat-race/maze and all that goes wth it. Pull into a nice shady spot, take a walk along our soothing creek, grab a picnic table or blanket and join us. Feel free to take a Cat-Nap, IF you see Lady Cats-A-lot is purring around here somewhere, give her a nice purr, she knows ALL the best shade spots.
We have a VENTbox near the main building if you feel like venting. Inside we also have cold drinks and a snack bar, coffee and donuts as well.
NEW to Rest Area 51.....please introduce yourself, we want WELCOME you to your MS family away from family. Please feel free to vent, ask questions etc. I try and remember to add a green circle w/r-arrow to make our Rest Area thread title to make us easier to find.
How was YOUR week?
My past week was quiet, maybe too quiet??? Did you have any tests or doc appointments last week?
What will your next week bring?
GOMER on the Go w/GoGo update........
Well I made it back from my road trip..TIRED of course. I hit the Cherry blosum fest in DC on my way down. Got a few 3D pictures and did more than usual thanks to my power scooter. Worked great almost got stuck once in the soft grass along the main reflecting pool. Only took me THREE HOURS to park, after getting past the grid-lock. Quite a crowd, in DC, but well mannered. I was told they had over a million visitor for the fest last year and even more this year.
My new prism glassed did not come before my trip. I was worried the new stronger prisms might be UGLY, but they are not as bad as I feared. Nice not having to look thru vertical blinds (fesnel lenses).........lol
On the way back I got bit of a late start, then hit some sotrmy weather and trafic jamb, so I was late getting up into No Ga so did not have the pleasure of meeting either MiniVanMama or Lady Cats-a-lot. I did get to meet w/Fred and his son and helped them with a porta-studio equipment issue etc. overall it was a good trip. While in St Augustine I picked up a couple Jolly Roger(pirate) Flags for my scooter.
I don't have much going on right now doctor wise. Come the end of April the quiet before the storm is expected to give way to a flurry of Neuro (maybe meds), and labs for my FamDoc and others and more doc apts. I am hoping I at least get the option to start something to fight this MonSter. I think 3 months is a long enough delay after being given the formal Dx. Maybe I should jsut be glad the VA is doing anything at all..........(based on past experience) but as usual claim one thing and do another. They say once DX'd meds should be started right away, guess who is definning what right away means.
CATS-A-LOT........still no seen or hears so much as a purr frm ya, hope you are doing OK?
MiniVanMama..nice to gab with ya while on the road.
