Hi everyone,
As a new year approaches, we may be thining what would happen to all of all in relation to our MS. 2007 was a very active year for a lot of us, but we endured it and are still here, some a little better that others, but here we are. We will not give in in our battle against MS. Like I always say we we hav MS, but >MS does have us!!!!!
Lets keep our hopes us thinking that a cure may be found sooner than we think, and if it is not found, maybe there would be better treatment to manage our symptoms.
To all of you, Happy New Year and my the Lord bring you everything you deserve and all the help and health I know He is capable of providing.

Zulma ,
Thanks for the good wishes for the New Year .
Reflecting on 2007 , much did happen . I think for me it was the light coming on , finally!!! It took buzzing in my face for me to realize everything that I have been experiencing for three yrs and maybe much much longer was pretty serious .
That I needed to be proactive and listen to my inner voice when it said ' You are really sick and need to find a GOOD doc' As soon as I did that everything started to fall into place. A nice knowledgeable pcp , this forum , meeting someone with ms,( when I shared a little with her her eyebrows went up , this was my first inkling)
Now a neuro , testing and not to forget all that went along with getting the parathyroid dx. Quite a year.
If I get this dx it won't be horrifying . I'm like everyone else , it will be a relief .
then I will be able to get on with living. I'll need to reinvent myself again :) What an adventure this is!!
It seems like I'll have more energy, not using it on all that goes with this stage of the game . but on useful endeavors like working . I'm a starving artist who hasn't had much stamina to get a project started , let alone completed. I was quite upset at the prospect of losing function in my hands ,since they have been affected and uncomfortable to hold objects in them. Or hold them off my lap at times. And the cog fog is most impossible to deal with ( once I couldn't figure out what an orange was . I knew I liked this color but that's as far as my brain could go and I wasn't even concerned , just in this daze, WOW)
). But the sun does shine some days and I do small projects . YES!!! :)
This has run on much more than I intended . To you and everyone on the forum have a most wonderful New Year
Jo

Well ladies, we are two days away from 2008, I would like to thank you for beeing so sincere and honest, but must of all for being there for me when I go into the forum. I guess the Lord thinks that we all belong in the same place.
You all know that the monter affects us in different ways, but we have common issues that are typical in MS. I am facing now some that are a little hard, but with God on the way, he will lead the way. You guys know that I have to wear a patch on my left eye for a least 18 hours a day for the next 6 months to year in order to recover at least some of my regular vision. I was also fitted with leg braces on Friday, which my doctor indicated that them and my cane will be my best companions for the rest of my life. By the way, I also have an electric scootter. It may be worst, I could be bed ridden, right?
Thank you for being there for me and you can on me to be there for you guys any time.
Remember we have MS, but MS does not have us

Ok guys, thank you for your thoughts, they mean a lot to me.
I went for my leg braces fitting yesterday. What a weird experience. It felt as if they were fitting with 50 pounds weights on each leg and that I would never be able to get up let alone walk with them. The orthotist was very helpful and he explained the whole process and also told me that once they are ready, I will be taught how to use them on a daily basis. Lets see how it goes. I will keep you posted.
I am already used to my eye patch what I am not used to is people staring at me because of it. Let them, if they ask why, I give the reason for it. Other than that, I am OK.
Take care guys,
Zulma

Thank you for the nice post to us all.
I hope you are feeling better since you got word of the braces. Remember you are still the same person with or without the braces. Never let this evil thing called MS rule you! You are a strong person and a true friend to us.
I know that you'll be there for me as time goes on and I have my bad days. I am here for you as your friend and comrade in this fight against MS.
May the new year be full of happiness and good news for you and all of our friends here.
Your friend,
Kathy
