Weekly Muster on the MS Deck

All veterans, active duty and family are ALL welcome here. As veterans we have some different situations and issues than most civilian MSers. We deal with the VA and some of us get our medical care thru VA medical Centers, issues of getting help with disability and pensions etc.

Please......... Drop in and say HI at least once per muster. We want to know you are doing OK, hope better than just OK. With REGULAR musters we can get to know our fellow vets better and build a sense of UNITY. If you run across a fellow Vet elsewhere on MSworld, please let them know we are here so they can join us.

Hello, all.

My week has been interesting. Started on Ampyra last Sat. Haven't noticed much of a difference yet, but I'm hopeful.

My sister just met with her oncologist for the first time on Wed. She has lung cancer. The prognosis is not very good. He already asked her about hospice.

I'm going to an all day program tomorrow, the 8th Annual Multiple Sclerosis Symposium in Albany.

Hope everyone has a good week.
