>>Hi everyone! >>A little about myself- I am turning "the big 40" this >>year and am married with four children. My first >>symptom was Opticneuritis way back when I was 21; not >>another one until I was 1 month pregnant with our >>second child who is now 81/2. At this point I was >>told to terminate the pregnancy - I obviously didn't >>listen and was diagnosed with an MRI after Emma was >>born. I was told to take interferon and tried it for >>6 months, then stopped. I didn't want to focus on the >>MS! My theory is, "nobody knows what their tomorrows >>are and life must go on", and so it did and still >>does. I had no other symptoms until 2 years ago - my >>left leg started to get "lazy" and it still is. I use >>a walking stick and after seeing a new neurologist >>(that's a bit of a tounge twister), I have decided to >>start Novantrone which is still in the trial stage >>here in Australia. I'm a little scared, however it's >>something I've been wanting to do for the last 18 >>months. I do "peer support" for the MS Society here >>in Melbourne and have been for almost 6 years. I love >>talking to newly diagnosed patients who are scared of >>having children or getting married, because they think >>having children will make their MS worse. If I can >>make a difference to one person then I am happy. It's >>about not giving up and living in the truest sense of >>the word. >>Bye for now, >>Lisa >you have the same attitude i have. the way i figure >it, what have we got to lose? i start in a couple >months
