Hello, it's been a long time !!

[candy158]

I actually have more of a comment.  I am now on Aubagio, for 1 week now, and have had a bad couple of months before that. I have been having more and more bladder infections, and have had so many hospital tests, and see my new urologist on Sept. 9 and we will discuss where we go from here.   The surgery I had last year on my bladder, did not work, and the bowel one, did not work either.  So, needless to say, we have a new Dr. now.  My bladder is still prolapsed, and my catheter's are becoming painful.  So, we aren't doing great.

I'm sorry I have not been on for a long time, but just needed a break. Now, I hope I can again help someone or give advice, or just be here to hear a vent....... I so getso much of what I have read just new on the forum.  The one that strikes me is that MS is not a big deal ...........  I loved Kyles comments, and I could go on with his  list of symptons.   I hope that everyone is doing well, I curious about a few people .....

Good to be back ..
Candy

OMG, you guys made me cry...... I have so missed you all, and so , so glad to get your cheery notes of encouragement. I means the world to me.

Well, we are back on Macrobid, for 10 days, not happy about that, but what can you do.  Last time it took 30 days of Macrobid to clear me up, that is when supposedly I was clear, when the WBC was way out of range.  Gotta love these NEW fandangled things... LOL

Well, we have been keeping somewhat busy when we can.  We finally rented the basement suite after we re-modeled it.  A nice, single lady, so are stoked about this.

Hubby has still been fighting WCB and we seem to be getting no where really ..

So, the Candy saga keeps on going.  

But, I wanted to say Thank You all so very much ,

((HUGS)) and love to you all
Candy

Hi Candy!
So good to see you back. I have been watching for posts from you and wondering how you were.
Sorry to hear your surgeries were not successful. Those darn UTI's the can be so relentless. I hope this new doc can give you some answers. Oh the frustration! I really feel bad for you.
I am hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that you will do well on the Aubagio.
Sending many prayers and big ((HUGS))
Warm regards, barb

Hey its great to hear from you!! So sorry to hear that the bladder and bowel problems didn't end up getting fixed, gosh i still remember what you went threw with your bladder..........hugs!

I was just thinking about starting a new thread on bladder issues eg UTI's, lol probably due to feeling like its ground hog day every morning. The UTI i'm dealing with is different to what i'm use to, its going on two weeks and i'm over it big time, can't imagine what you've gone through.......more hugs!

It's great to see you back :D

Cheers.............JJ

I hope things get better for you! I don't post much either but wanted to encourage you with the Aubagio. I've been on it for 2 years in December. The initial side effects were minimal. The most distressing was the hair thinning! I'm happy to report that that eventually turned around too. My husband comments all of the time that my hair looks thicker than it's ever been and I have no side effects at all.

Welcome back - I've been somewhat MIA lately too but try to pop through as best I can.  Tonight I am seeing all sorts of old familiar faces and it makes me miss everyone even more.

Tough luck about the surgeries - I had hoped they would be great for you.  

Come back when you can - everyone benefits from the experiences of our experienced MSers.

hugs, L

Sorry you are still having bladder problems. I am doing okay. My Cancer is back but I am still in the Clinical Trial. Otherwise I am doing well. I am busy training my 6 month old deaf dalmatian.
