Hi Everyone
I am new and want to know how the forum time-line works. I wanted to view last posts, but it seem to be scrambled.

I am under investigation for MS and are having a lot of GRRRRRRRRRR moments in frustration over how I am getting treated (like a nut-case)! I have even been sent to mental health specialists (3!) who sent me back to the Neuro.
GRRRR.

Good luck to everyone else dealing with the symptoms and system.

Thanks Sparky, yes it does.

Hi everyone

My names Tracey, I'm from Guelph Ontario.
I was diagnosed with MS Sept/2007. I've been on Rebif and Copaxone, was allergic to both, so on nothing right now.

I was a hairstylist, but haven't worked since the hospitalisation in Sept.

I'm happy to have found this site, nice to know I'm not alone.

Hi Tracey - Welcome to the boards. You will find lots of information and support here.
Sorry you had such an allergic reaction to the meds. Have you been presented with other options?

Indoor Row for MS - Fundraising Challenge for Niagara Peninsula Chapter of Hope

Indoor Row for MS - Fundraising Challenge

Venue: Welland Rose Festival, Family Day Weekend in the Welland Arena, King St., Welland, Ontario, Canada

Date: Saturday, June 14, 2008 - tentatively 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Equipment: Erg(s) to be provided by Notre Dame College School Rowing Team

Assistance: Notre Dame College School Rowing Team - their Head Coach has offered whatever support is needed.

Please contact me if you are able to assist with the event as a volunteer, sponsor or participant and I will provide further details as they become available.

The idea is to challenge festival attendees to participate by rowing a few metres to keep the 'erg in motion for MS' during the entire 8 hour event to make the pledge donations grow. The goal is at least 4 sponsors to pledge challenge money per metre rowed during the event. eg. $0.01/m; $100.00/25,000km; bonus amt. if 100,000km rowed. Of course any and all donations are greatly appreciated!

Stay inspired!

Hi Boondocks I have to visit the clinic in a week for the first time to see Dr. Bhan. I was just wondering what to expect on my initial visit. Thanks for your help!!!

Hey there Nova Scotians! I'll be heading back to Antigonish in August (I've been away in California for a year). Before I left I was going to Sydney to see a Neurologist. My husband and I have decided that we would like to get a Neuro in Halifax. Is there anyone you recommend? How is Dr. Bhan? Can you tell me a little about him/her? Do you actually get to see the Neuro when you visit or do you just see an MS nurse? Would you message me your input?
