MS World Newbie (who talks too much!!)
Hi!
My name is Danielle (obviously, duh) and I have been lurking for a while now. I see many new people have also admitted to lurking! It is scary to just show up alone on a message board like this! But you seem to be a friendly group, so I'm jumping in feet first!
I was 21 when I was diagnosed. That was 20 years ago. I had optic neuritis, one eye at a time. But for the next 10 years I just said to myself that they were wrong! I graduated college twice, got married, had 2 beautiful baby boys and the world was mine!!
Then, the MS told me "hello!! I'm still here!!". and my 10 year run of good health went down hill.
I was "permanently disabled" 6 years ago, when my right side stopped working. It came and went over the years, each time taking more than it gave. I am now not able to drive, and I can walk with a cane, but usually need my scooter. Needless to say, my world has been turned upside down.
BUT, I am trying to continue building my new life for myself and for my family. I still dream of dancing (if you can call it that) at my sons weddings. I have to stay strong to continue raising them. I have to be strong to not be negative about everything for my husband. No one wants to listen to complaining and crying everyday. But, I do fall back into my negative ways. I am obviously not perfect LOL!!!! I crack myself up!!
I fancy myself an artist now. I have been published and everything!! And I just started a MS blog, sharing art with multiple sclerosis, hoping to inspire others if i can.
I don't know where I would tell people where my blogs are. I don't want to put it here! I don't want to get kicked out when I just got here!! But, I saw that you have a place on this site for people to post their art and that is awesome! A lot of us need an outlet and art is a good one.
I have already gone on far too long already! You will think I talk to much before you even know me!! I am sorry!
I'd love to learn how some people have those fun signatures, and what is "PMP?" I might have the letters wrong, but i've seen it in signatures and stuff. I am interested in everything and anything i don't know about!!
I hope to get a lot of comments on this post, so I can meet and get to know some of you. Mine is a lonely world, and I am anxious to chat with people who really understand!!
You are all awesome!!! Thanks so much!!!

I know all of us have different ways of working with all of this! Just found out I have another ailmant to worry about! Severe esphogus burn! Didn't I had it but ER was the only place to go! Dad helped me with that one, then ended up in the hospital for 3 days! My husband brought our kids to see me, scared them a little! I said I'd be fine but my 8 yr. old wasn't sure why I had all the IV's in my arm! That's a lesson in itself!
