Welcome to Rest Area 51... a special haven for newbies Dx'd w/MS in recent days or years. If you just came from MiniVanMama's Limbo Island, you should feel at home here now that you have your MS Dx.
Pull into a nice cozy shady parking spot and enjoy the cool fresh air. Feel free to share your ideas, experiences and support to your fellow newbies. Relax, you are among friends that understand.
A hearty WELCOME! to our newbies that joined us! Sorry for the reason you are hear, but also GLAD you found us. We are a group of newbies that share experiences and what tips we have learned so far. Feel free to express yourself, ask questions, heck, how else are any of us gonna learn anything, if we do not share and ask questions? (remember the following line).
The only dumb stupid question is the one NOT asked.
We have a deep dark SNAKE PIT for us to throw doctors or anyone else deserving of a good bite. We have a VENTbox for anyone to use anytime, we ALL need to vent once in a while.
How was YOUR Week?.............. Did you have any doctor apts or tests this past week?
What does YOUR week ahead look like?..........
QotW.......Question of the Week?
IS YOUR MS HEAT sensitive?
-1- If so how sensitive are you? Please give an example or or two or three.............
-2- What, if anything do you do, or NOT do to avoid problems from the heat?
Please share with us how you deal with heat issues this time of the year. I had no clue I was heat sensitive, then when I learned I had MS, more like back in the probable LIMBO period, I looked back and B_I_N_G_O...... every summer for years a new problem would crop up. Never did I entertain the idea even, that HEAT could be even remotely related to my walking problems.
MY WEEK........ Well I had my MS clinic follow-up apt Thursday w/Dr Segal. So far, so good. Dr.Segal noted I had evidence of past ON episodes of optic nerve inflammation, (but not currently active) explains a few past vision problems that went unresolved when they happened.
Dr Segal Rx'd a cooling vest for me, should have it in 2-3 weeks, maybe even before my Fla sortie comming up. (I did not tell them I had this trip planned) Now what do you think inspired me to come up with this weeks question?
My upcoming week?..........Quiet I hope. Still recovering a bit from the convention and resting a bit for my mouse-land trip...well Fla anyway. maybe I will get to meet Journeyman just a half hour down the I-4.
I will be tinkering with making/perfecting linticular stereo photo pronts. Mostly 4x6 postcard size prints. Besides staying in and cool mostly.
ATTENTION......... you guys must be SLEEPING under the shade lately, kinda QUIET! I understand some may be taking trips to visit family and/or friends this time of year....Just because we ahve MS in one flavor or another does NOT mean we quit LIVING!
Dr. GOMER The endless supply of ICE is FREE in our Rest Area 51, and the stream is cool (in case ya wanna take a cool refreshing dip.)
