Hello Everyone,
I'm new to MSWorld, I was recently diagnosed with MS in May 2010. My world has been turned upside down. I went from a independent woman to a dependent woman, which has taken some getting use to. I am 39 years, went from walking with a cane to a walker now walking with crutches, I am the the mother of two wonderful girls 20 and 14 who helps me alot, and a husband of 21 years who is so use to me doing everything has his hands full. I have a good support team, but at times it can be overwhelming.
It took me a minute before joining this group, I just keep reading the different threads and I keep really relate to some of the different topics. My husband has told me for the longest to join a support group and I kept blowing him off, he really got on me one night so I finally start researching different sites and this really caught my eye, so I am really thankful for my husband for staying on top of things.
My problem started over 2 years ago, I thought I was just having a knee problems, so I went in to see the dr, she referred to a PT, which did not help, this went on for a while then the pain went to my back, just numbness, tingling on my left side. For a year they treated me for a herinated disc with cortizone shots nothing helped. I have all MRI's, CAT scans you name it I had it done. Finally I changed dr's she order a Head MRI, that's when they found 12 leisons on the left and several on the right. All this while, I was being treated for back pain.
I have started my Betaserone injection every other day, PT twice a week and now I waiting to receive my AFO.

Maybe it will ease up for awhile now.
