Hi folks. I've been reading almost every day, but as typing is not my forte, I respond only when I feel I can add something useful to the discussion.

I've been bouncing in and out... but posted a few times :) Still waiting to make my first appointment for reflexology, the center is checking with two of their therapists to see which one has more experience with MS patients. The office manager knows one of them has worked with an MS center before joining their center, but can't remember which (they were hired before the office manager).
Gonna start up my chiropractic visits again. Having some lower back achees and know that is related to some minor arthritis and slight bulge disc. Have a great chiropractor, my neuro has just been very concerned that any visits exclude neck manipulations due to all the issues there to begin with :)
Sheila - I am so sorry to hear about the fur kids.. I hope Kia is doing well and is able to enjoy your company for a while longer.
Ren - How old is your computer? What windows verision are you using? Microsoft includes a speech recognition program in the windows package starting with Vista. You may already have the software you need!!! To see if you have it on your computer, go to start, control panel and the last option listed in right column is 'ease of access'. There is an option for speech recognition, just setup a microphone :) I have not tried it on my laptop, but if need help, just message me direct! My hubby is a techie geek (love you if you're reading this!! :)... So, whatever I can't figue out, know he will!!

I've been lurking a bit lately. Reading up on the MRI criteria, etc. So much useful info here. Such a special place as well. I'm feeling grateful again that I've found you all.
I've got part 2 of my followup MRIs coming up in about 10 days so I'm doing blood work and starting treatment for that soon. Not much else going on here other than that and trying to hang out up in the mountains as much as possible as it's quite hot here lately.
Sheila, I'm sorry about your dog's troubles. It's stressful watching them go through things like this and my heart goes out to you and Kia.
I am here - working lots and trying to do what I can with this heat! Been a bad week for me - not physically but in my head - Guess that will happen and its been the first since my dx in December. Think it is just being so tired and feeling like there is no end in sight with working every day - May actually take a "sick" day on Monday from my full time job to do something FUN! At least fun for me - hang out with my four legged babies and read!
Hi, I'm checking in again to say hi. Now I have a possible relapse and started a medrol dose pack last night. Geez, it must be in the water or something, right, with all these relapsing going around. At least I'm not taking the IVSM - that always kicks my butt and I am forced to stop it early.
Sheila, sorry about your furry family member. We had to take our husky in this week for her cataracts in her eyes for a follow-up and she's only 3 yrs old.
Alex, I'm always thinking of you and trying to send positive thoughts your way.
I'm so glad it's Friday and I'm off tomorrow and Sun. I need a break!
Here!
Who else is around, come out and say hello!
