Tingle-T,

Yea - that's the old "remission" we are "suppose" to have w/RRMS. I often wonder why the heck they don't modify that word. We had a pretty good discussion about that long ago - I'll see if I can find it for you.

I do believe non-MSers think Remission = Feeling Great!

Bloomin awesome alright!!

I am learning new things everyday. I knew what a relapse was but I didn't realise that a remission is supposed to last 30 days. Looking back at my symptom tracker I don't believe I have ever been stable for that long - 10 days is tops for me.

I was at my monthly MS meeting and another sufferer in her mid sixties said that I was lucky because at least I had remission because she just went straight downhill. Funny, I thought I walked worse than she.

Thanks Shell, why don't you give us all a thrill and post a picture of your new haircut this week.

Blessings
Alex
