Hi all,
I am not really new, but only recently came back again to be more active reading and posting in MSW. My account may tell you I'm new, but that's because I had to start another as I somehow lost my privileges on the other. JazzGirl assures me that it's a computer issue, not a me issue.
I came back in part, I think, because I've been a little more depressed lately. This is something I've struggled with for a while. I started my first account (goodjennie, no space : ) about 2 years ago when I was having a particularly rough time. This site has been great for me, even when I'm not actively posting. Just to see how positive people can be in some pretty awful situations inspires me to keep going and keep my chin up. So, I thought I would introduce myself and say thank you.
I recently moved to NH from Florida, a decision that was in large part influenced by my MS. I was born and raised in FL, but I no longer tolerate the heat well. I recently graduated from school, so I was able to tailor my job search geographically. Not a bad result, I think.
I was diagnosed with MS on October 3, 2003. (It was a Friday. Do other people find that they can remember the day and date of diagnosis so readily, or is it just me?) Anyway, I was a senior in college, and it made for a pretty rough senior year. For the most part, though, I've been lucky with my course of MS. I have fairly mild disease most of the time. As I mentioned already, depression is one of the main things I deal with. I also have had intermittent paresthesias, vision changes, fatigue, and b/b difficulty. Usually, however, people don't know about my MS unless I tell them.
Anyway, that's a little bit about me. Hello!
Again, I want to thank everyone out there for inspiring me. Thank you!
