TOTALLY NORMAL

Hi Chris, Just wanted to let you know, that you aren't crazy, your feelings are totally normal, given the gravity of your "new" situation. You are newly diagnosed, if I remember correctly, right? There are many emotions stirring around right now. All of them normal and natural. Have you ev...

Good afternoon Melody and Wesley, thanks for your suggestions and for the thread Melody. I wish I were editor-savvy, but I'm not, although I have an acquaintance, who has been able to find this type of work. Wesley, I have found Craigslist.org to be very helpful. It contains work at home jobs as wel...

So . . . anybody here work from home?

Hi, It's been a long time since I last posted, but since I am busy trying to find work at home jobs, I was wondering if anyone else is doing the same? I have found plenty of info on the subject and would be happy to share and discuss it all, if anyone else is curious. Anyone else looking, or wonderi...

Surprised to see this thread is still here!

Hi everyone,

What a shocker to see this thread still going strong. Arron, you are quite the administrator, and a great welcome committee!

I'm sorry I have been away so long, and hope to do a better job of stopping in and saying howdy!

Sincerely,

Congrats Brenda, Just wanted to add these ideas as well: You can strengthen your calves, by standing on your toes, slowly lowering and raising them, you can hold on to a chair or the wall for balance. See if you can do 6-8 at a time, take a brief break, maybe a minute or so, then do another set of 6...

Hi everyone! Glad more "athletes" are posting on this thread. LOL Once I discovered that strength training helps us save what MS can take away as far as muscle tone is concerned, I concentrated a lot on weight training, just lifting one pound weights, is all that is needed. I am discoverin...

May, I'm not a "swanker" as you put it, but hope I can join this thread anyways. :o What exactly can you eat, is baked chips out, pop corn, pretzels? They all satisfy that salt craving. Can you eat dried fruit when you want something sweet. Is it true you can't have any dairy products, not...

Do You Remember To Check The Other Forums?

I just realized how often I forget that this board is broken up into different forums for specific issues. I will have to make a conscience effort to look on the other forums, or maybe if someone who hasn't received a lot of answers to a question they could post a reminder here, then we could check ...

Welcome Aboard,

Brenda, Auntie Jane, and Maria

The board moves very slowly, but maybe if enough of us visit regularly, it will pick up.

Having said that, I'll be away for a few days, but will check back in when I return.

Nice to have an international site, isn't it? :o

Hi Karen,

Haven't seen you post in a couple of days, so just thought I would check on you. How are you doing?

Good to read Karen, Let me know how you like the site and when you have the opportunity tell me about your situation. I read a little of your journal, am I correct in saying your main problem right now is ON (Optic Neuritis) are the steroids helping you recover from the ON problems? ON is usually th...
