[AmishErin]

I Have been Lurking round this sight off and on for a few months and while I can keep most of the names straight I think I see a lot of new names... so.... ppl can post on this thread and tell us

Who they are...

I'm Erin

Where in cyberland they hail from

Utah for me
How long they have been Dxed or waiting for a dx if it is them if it isn't them then they should tell us who it is that brought them to this site.

I have been Dxed since Jan 2003

(I am not having symptoms today but I am feeling lonely)

[JENNIEO]

Jennie here, from Massachusetts
diagnosed yesterday
I think this forum is priceless.... I not sure if this is an embarassment but I did have an MRI that was scary because I'm overweight and I really didn't think I would fit in the tube.  Once I got in, I was sure I wouldn't get out!!  I did, and thankfully, because I had two more MRIs that same month in the same tube.  No more panic since I knew I wouldn't get stuck!!!   What a way to really know that I need to lose some pounds!!!  :p

Ok we should do something now like most embaressing neuro appt...


One time my mom gave me a ride too my neuro when I still wasnt driving.  I half dressed myself that day.  put my bra on but didn't put my boobs all the way in my bra.  I was sooooooo tired that day and I was all slunched over.  

So my mom reaches over and pushes on one of my 4 boobs and says whats this.  so of course the doctor starts poking too they are both poking my boob  And I sat there in a fog and I am trying to remember why I have 4 boobs.  Then I realized that my bar was half on half off I leaned forward shimmyed my boobs in place and when my boobs turned back into 2 boobs my doctor was so mortified he stopped poking my boob and left the room.   My mom was a bit slower

It is hard to keep track of so many people! I'm Shoshin and I only post sporadically, but read quite a bit. I live in Indiana and was dx'd with MS last November after six years of being told I had idiopathic peripheral neuropathy.

Hi Erin.  It is very nice to meet you.  My name is Julie and I'm from Virginia.  I recently got pretty sick and was diagnosed in May with partial acute transverse myelitis. I am still recovering from that illness and am also being followed by a neurologist for possible MS.  I joined the group in July after finding the MedHelp forums by accident and feel very privileged in having the opportunity to meet so many nice people in one place.

I am Shelly but prefer Shell :) I am from Ontario Canada have been dealing with everything for about 15 months and was diagnosed 2 months ago today with M.S

[Rena705]

I am Rena

I am from Alberta, Canada

I am diagnosed twice but have been told that my disease is "inactive" and therefore am being denied the disease modifying drugs so I may as well be in limbo-land.

I'm Holly from Missouri.  I have been dx with transverse myelitis for now, been having symptoms for about a year.  I have lesions in my c-spine, and a couple in my brain that are tiny and might be vascular.  My symptoms are mild.

Well hello Lori from Alabama   and welcome to Medhelp (I had to scroll up cause I forgot the name haha the fog earlier I was lonely and procrastinating but now I'm mostly torturing my kids by not leting them on)
