I have been going to acupuncture for female stuff and It seems to be helping a lot. Before the MS that was my chief complaint so if I can get that under control I think it will help a ton.Denver Refashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681030016057155728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974128647569108285.post-62391630624494665392008-08-25T19:39:00.000-07:002008-08-25T19:39:00.000-07:00Nice post - I hope you continue to hold on to this...Nice post - I hope you continue to hold on to this good attitude of yours!Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433899026248078576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974128647569108285.post-11941389645342516342008-08-25T18:58:00.000-07:002008-08-25T18:58:00.000-07:00DR,One of the things I have noticed recently is my...DR,<BR/>One of the things I have noticed recently is my ability to NOT jump to the conclusion that every little thing that bothers me is related to or because of MS. Early on, all fatigue or pain or weird sensation was because of MS. But because I've been biking and active with other aspects of my life, and having common physical issues more because of my age, I sometimes forget about the MS. That comes with time I suspect, as MS is all consuming at first. <BR/><BR/>You also come to learn how to gauge how much activity your body and mind can handle. <BR/><BR/>S.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793047835261862513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974128647569108285.post-66519451831380597242008-08-25T15:31:00.000-07:002008-08-25T15:31:00.000-07:00Thanks for the encouragement Jen.

I will keep my fingers crossed that my next MRI looks good.Denver Refashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681030016057155728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974128647569108285.post-70771256042543556702008-08-24T19:39:00.000-07:002008-08-24T19:39:00.000-07:00Hi Nadja---I also had mild MS (started very vaguel...Hi Nadja---<BR/><BR/>I also had mild MS (started very vaguely at around age 27) and I took no meds or even steroids until a little over 3 years ago. I am rebounding very well from my latest attack. It takes me forever (6-12 weeks) to get through it, do the steroids, regain my sleep, and be somewhat normal again. But I walk without a cane, I don’t have tremendous fatigue (a bit of lead limbs at times), and I only take my injections and something for my shot nerves (no pun.) My biggest issue is my left leg being a bit unsteady at times, but it’s manageable without a cane. So I don’t want you to think that MS is always a disability sentence. It can go either way, and I thank my lucky stars all the time for my pretty good overall case. But I embrace that the road could turn down the line.<BR/><BR/>PS: I'm having a technical problem getting off of people's comment pages and keep duplicating stuff, hence the "deleted comment" before this. I already defiled 2 of Blindbeard's comment pages with this problem.
