Aa
THIS CRAZINESS AND FOOD!
I THINK I AM ADDING INSULT TO INJURY HERE. I AM SO NERVOUS ABOUT MY APPOINTMENT THIS WEDNESDAY.
I HAVE BEEN SNACKING ON COOKIES AND CHEESE ALL DAY. I STOOD IN THE KITCHEN WITH A GLASS OF MILK AND ATE 4 COOKIES BEFORE I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT I WAS DOING! I STOOD THERE THINKING ABOUT HOW THINGS MIGHT GO AND HOW UPSET MY PARENTS ARE ABOUT ALL OF THIS.
MY DAD IS SO WORRIED BECAUSE IT IS HIS SIDE OF THE FAMILY WITH THE MS. I NEED TO FIND HIM SOME GOOD INFORMATION THAT SAYS MS IS NOT CAUSED BY HAVING A RELATIVE WITH IT. IF THERE IS ANY SUCH INFORMATION.
DID ANYONE ELSE GAIN WEIGHT DURING THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS? I KNOW IT IS MY NERVES AND LOSS OF ENERGY TO KEEP UP MY GOOD EATING HABITS. :( I HAVE TO NOT LET THIS GET OUT OF CONTROL.

THANKS SO MUCH. I WILL CALL THE MS SOCIETY. MY PARENTS WILL NEED INFORMATION IF I END UP WITH A DIAGNOSIS.
THE WEIGHT ISSUE IS SO FRUSTRATING. I AM GOING TO BE 45 SOON AND I KNOW THAT MIDLIFE SPREAD IS SETTING IN. UGH...............
I THINK ONCE I GET AN ANSWER TO WHAT IT GOING ON I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET MY LIFE BACK IN ORDER. RIGHT NOW I FEEL LIKE THINGS ARE SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. I AM FINDING I AM DOING ONLY WHAT I HAVE TO IN ORDER TO GET THROUGH THIS.
MAYBE SPRING, WARM AIR, AND THE SINGING BIRDS WILL HELP IN A FEW WEEKS. :)

Wishing you luck at your appointment on Wednesday...I say that if it is making the wait easier for you it is a small price to pay for one more day isn't it???
POUR ANOTHER GLASS OF MILK AND ENJOY THEM COOKIES HONEY!!!
You can get a lot of information from your local MS society and they will mail it out to you if you ask them to. Just let them know that you want any information regarding heredity and MS...I just know that they will have what you need! And give Dad a hug for me too will ya?
Lots of Hugs,
Rena

I am having a real problem with weight...just TOO DARN MUCH OF IT!!! I started gaining in February when I was on Steroids and gained about 10 pounds. Then I was put on Gabapentin AND Tegretol and gained another 5 and it doesn't sound like much if you are 5'8" but when you are 5'1" you are hooped!!! I was given an exercise cd by my neuro from the Toronto MS Society but it is more for muscle building than burning calories.
I don't have the energy to even walk the mall so I don't know what I am going to do! I am eating poorly I know, no breakfast, sometimes no lunch until 2-3 in the afternoon and since hubby doesn't get home from work until 7-730 at night we don't eat until between 8-10p.m.!!! I know that is really bad but it is a habit and they are hard to break!
I also feel like I need to get my legs strengthened in order that I will be able to function better at the lake this year so I had just better make up my mind to try and do the exercises on the cd right?!!!

I HAVE PUT ABOUT 30 POUNDS ON OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS AFTER HAVING LOST 40. ;(
YOU WOULD THINK WITH A DX LIKE MS THERE WOULD AT LEAST BE SOME POSITIVE SIDE EFFECT, LIKE WEIGHT LOSS! DARN!

I've put on quite a bit of weight over the past few years. I've discovered that - I'm often too tired to get moving . . . but never too tired to quit eating : ). Mindless eating should be added to the symptom list.

Well, when I finally became active after a few years off, in the fall of '06, I lost weight, and was looking pretty good. Then I got weak again, and I now have twenty pounds back on, sigh. I still go to the gym and hike with the ladies, but, my food and beer intake is still the same, sigh. Oh well, when my energy increases I'll manage, lol. Maybe. lol
