Hi from Montreal

Post by savannahstarr »

Hi, my name is Renee. I was diagnosed with MS in 1993 and am having my 3rd relapse or maybe my RRMS is becoming SPMS? Should go see my neurologist about that , but lately his uselessness pisses me off. My first two relapses were optic neuritis, left eye, then right eye - which recovered completely after IV solumedrol and compensates for the slight loss of vision in my left eye. Currently I am losing my ability to walk. It has been slowly progressing over the past year and a bit since the birth of my son. I have always been very fit, able and fiercely independant. Nothing breaks my heart more than not being able to run after him and play or take him places...
I have taken copaxone since 2004 except for while I was pregnant. I have been treated 3 times with solumedrol since this past summer. I'm going to a rehabilitation center on Feb 11 where I'll probably be prescribed a wheelchair. My whole life has to change and I'm working through the changes and accepting my new life...
I'm currently working so hard to get The liberation treatment, have questions about LDN... will try anything to be able to walk again.
It's really nice to come to a place where others share the same experiences as I and the information is soooo helpful and enlightening.
Hi everybody!
