Ok, since this is no longer about the combo treatments, I would like to post something.
Bromely...what's with the gay comments? It was disappointing to read. Specially because I have so much respect for you. I also want to explain why I like the pic idea unlike Bromely. When I was diagnosed, I was told not to tell my boss or my coworkers. I was told to choose which friends I wanted to tell because "not everyone would understand." This was told to me by my neuro and psychiatrist. I already felt ashamed of my body's betrayal and this kind of talk did not help. I have never put any pics of me anywhere on the net. This is the first time and I did it because I have gotten over my feelings of shame. I have told my boss and cowerkers and they have all been understanding. I feel that there is a stereotype about MS out there and I want to show people that people with MS are, for the most part, well functioning people who still contribute greatly to this world. I also think that this disease is more than just about the latest research. THere are big time emotions involved. Emotions that at times, only others who have the disease can understand. We need each other on this site and I think it would be nice to get to know each other. Pics are just a part of that. Introductions are a part of that and so are non judgemental postings. Like I said...we need a chat room so that everything would have its place.
Thanx for reading,
NN
