Yes I have MS and was diganosed in 1998 and live alone with my best friend Sugar (9) who is going blind in right eye and I have to take her Tuesday and have it taken out.The other eye is not real good so I help Sugar and Sugar helps me.
I have been giving myself daily injections of Copaxone and I have had 3 relapses since I started the injections.I have lasting symptons like numbness and spasms and tingling but not gonna let it get me down anymore which it did for awhile and I remember Montel Williams saying(quote)I have MS but MS does not have me.You know to keep sane you have to look at it this way.I am happy and I am going to stay happy.I love life and it makes everything so much easier when you get in this frame of mind.I read all the comments and my symptoms started in my teens and I relate to you all and I hope to hear from you agaim.Just remember we have but one life to live and it is time to play ball and the ball is in our court and we decide which way we play.Love you all and God Blee all of us my friend.

hi jacqueline
i think there must be a good support group
i know someone who has it, lives around the corner
she is a mother of two kids , she got a dog to help her
i found out someone else i know who is very positive and also has two kids and a dog , and i gave her the telephone number however she did not contact her..people have different ways of reacting, some seek connections others would like to disconnect like a snail.
i have heard though that there is lots of things you can do, you need to find out, and that these days there are ways to cope with the ilness that were not there before. i would get informed and connect to positive people . Good luck ! all the best!

Hi Jacquelinc- I am 26 and had symptoms when I was 14, diagnosed when I was 16. Do you have it or know someone?
