Hello!

Postby strawberryshortcake » Tue Oct 03, 2006 9:50 pm

Hi,
My name is Jenn, and I was dx'd with RRMS a year ago. I started Avonex about 5 months ago, and am happy with that decision so far. The relapse that led to my dx was severe, and I now use a walker or cane if I'm not at home. I can't drive much anymore, which stinks, but I can live with it.

I am 30 years old, married for 7 yrs, and we have an almost 8 yr. old son. I am a stay at home mom, and my dh works for Chrysler.
Well, that's me in a nutshell! =)

Hi Jenn:

It sounds like you got hammered. I'm glad your finding ways to "live with it". It took me a while to get there. I got dx'd in 2001 with PPMS which wasn't so bad at first. I need an AFO to walk now though. Anyway, welcome to the party, post often and live well. We'll be watching.
