I guess they wont let me post it again, since it's not an MS question. But I believe momzilla answered it. Know this is vague, but can't type again to have them remove it again. To refresh memory incase you forgot, about being molested. That's all I can say. Hope they don't erase this one too. Karina
I filled my pescription today. Am glad about that, sure could of used it last night. Had really bad spasms most of night. I'm going to look at an apt tommorrow. It costs alot less, then I pay now. Then wont have to worry about debt consolidation or bankruptcy. Five boys sure sounds like a handful. Will write more tommorrow. Karina
She may be a good ally for you. It always helps to get to know someone better, to hear how they're feeling. I hope the debt consolidation works. It's certainly worth a try. If it doesn't, you can always use the bankruptcy as a last resort.
I think it's great that you're making this connection with your sister. She can almost be like a mom figure for you. At least a friend. We can all use another one of those! Let her help you if it works out that way. Let us know how everything is working out!
Glad you found your prescription! I could have told you to look under the couch! I have five boys!

I have decided (with my oldest sisters sugestion), to try and consolidate my bills, instead of filling for bankruptcy. She gave me some numbers to call. She also sent me some info on some apts here in town, for less expensive. We haven't been real close. She is 4 years older than me, but growing up we weren't close either. She said she felt left out some, growing up. Like she didn't fit. I think it's because we have different dads. My mom was pregnant with her, when she met and eventually married my dad. So the rest of us kids were from same dad and then there was her. There's 19 year difference in age from my oldest sister to my youngest sister. Don't know if anyone cares. It's after 1 am and am rambling on, so will stop. Karina
I to have wanted to have a book published. My own book of poetry. Just want it, not not to try hard enough to make it a reality. I have had many poems made into songs for me, that's good enough for me. What type of stuff do you write? Keep plugging away at getting them published. Karina
No wonder I am not published...I cannot seem to form a complete sentance.
To the artistic…I have always been artistic and I went to art school at Kent State University (good well rounded art school) , but lately my hands do not cooperate with my will to create.
I love to write also and have always longed to be published, but my brain fog has made the completion of some books difficult.
Once I turned 40 years old I started on a quest, but the quest was halted. Now I am trying to work part it all.

I have been writing poetry since I was 14 years old. Got the bug from my dad. I write when I'm inspired. Has been awhile, before this one. I will e-mail it to you. I have some other MS poems too. If you are interested? And lots of not MS related ones too. Karina
I really appreciated your poem. I always wanted to write, but it was not my gift. Do you keep what you have written? Does it just come to you or are you always feeling like you can express what you feel in poetry?
When I posted the poem I did, it was because yours reminded me of a poem that had meant something to me since I was young. Thank you, email it to me if you would, too. It takes a lot of motivation some days to make it through. Quix

Good night to ya both. Thanks for advice. I'm glad you liked my poem. I have written more on MS, but don't want to waste forum space on it. If you like I could e-mail you some. Karina
Wrong again! Well, you could throw me a bone! I must have slept that day in geography class! OK! Enjoy your leisurely stroll to Pizza Hut, Karina. Quix is full of salt and vinegar tonight. She thinks she's a pickle!
Have a good night, Dill!
Good night, Karina!

na..nana..na..na,,na,na! Nope! Western Washington is so incredibly temperate. Rarely too cold in the winter and rarely too hot in the summer! Spring and Fall last forever! It's always lush and green. It rains a lot, more for Karina than me, but after years in the desert or Chicago, I love the cool! Today got to about 78. I guess there's always the chance that we might mildew (Washington's State Flower), oh well!

That is really lovely. It really is. You are not going to believe this, but I write, as well. Ask Quix. And I love poetry. I'll copy that one, if you don't mind.
I'm glad you know God is always there for you. I feel that, too. Sometimes it feels like He's the only one that's there. But it's good to know He is there. I'm glad to know you have a creative side! How cool!
Pizza! Pizza Hut is my boys' favorite. We only get that for special occasions. Usually we get the $5 pizzas at Little Caesar's. The nights would probably go by pretty quickly. I worry about your fatigue level, but you know your limits, and your doctor said it would be all right.
Close to home is good thinking. Especially with cold weather coming. I imagine WA gets really cold in fall/winter. I'm from Michigan, and we are really cold half the year. A block away is totally doable.
10 hour days in a nursing home laundry! Oh, my! My sister-in-law works in a nursing home in the recreation department. She loves the interaction with the residents, too. 10 hour days! That's a long day. My 18 year old son works 10 hour days a couple of days a week at a party store while he waits to start school back up. But he's 18 yrs. old!
Sounds like your plan's going well. Pizza's always a great part of any Big Plan, I've always thought. Keep it up. Let me know if you need anything. Have a great night.

I don't play the drums, I write poetry. And if you all would indulge me, I'll write a sample of it. One of my poems about MS. Hope ya enjoy it.
I might have MS and it might have me.
But I know, GOD wont desert me!
He will be here for me through good times and bad.
He even comforts me, when I'm sad.
GOD's love is strong and true.
For both me and you. KAF.
I am thinking pt pizza hut at nights, a few days a week. Is 1 block away from where I live now. I already work 40 hours a week, so couldn't get any more at current job. Nice thought though. I actually like my job overall. I have a pretty good boss. I work 4-10 hr days, in laundry at a nursing home. I like the interaction with residents (what little I have time for). Always busy. Karina

Someone plays the drums here, I thought it was you. I'll have to change the picture in my mind of you now. What kind of second job are you thinking of getting? Do you think you could just swing more hours at your present job? Would that suffice? Maybe you could just start scratching lottery tickets at work...that's my husband's idea! I always tell him that never works! (He's a very hard worker! But a man can dream...)
How do you like your job? You say it's boring. All jobs can be that way, I guess. It may be fun to get a second job in a field that interests you that wouldn't be too demanding physically. Can you think of something like that? What do you like to do? After my neuro examined my legs strength he asked me if I danced. (My husband told him I was an actor before we married.) I said, No, I was a horrible dancer. He said, "Don't start!" He got me laughing so hard, because my poor legs are SO weak. We were all getting a little punchy by then.
But my point is, try to find something you can enjoy that's a perfect fit for you right now. Something you'll look forward to. Don't dance!
Oy~ I'm supposed to be working right now, dagnabbit! I should get back to it! That's what they pay me for! So, have a great day! Get back to The Plan! Let me know how it goes!
Feel well!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. No I don't play the drums. I am musically challenged in all ways. Can't even carry a tune, though I sing at work sometimes. Breaks the boring silence there. Karina
It sounds like you have a great plan. I just have a wonderful feeling about you. Things are going to work out just great. I read your post about the neuro visit. She must have a good sense about you, too.
Your self esteem has been damaged, and that is such a shame. I see you lift up all the other people on the forum here all the time. You're not boring, of course. (Are you the one who plays drums? I may have gotten that wrong. I picture you with drumsticks.) You're always so sweet to everyone and helpful with a reply when someone posts about a bad doctor visit or whatever.
You've got lots of friends here. Not alone. We care about you.And when you're ready for a relationship, after you've been in therapy to heal from the abuse, he will find you. You won't even have to go looking. That I know. But first take care of you.
Good luck with The Plan. Let me know how it's going and if you need any help.
Have a good night, Karina. Feel well~

I am talking to Quix. Am planning on filling bankruptcy, then wont have to worry about finances. My sister is lending me some money. So can afford to go on Copaxone. Shared Solutions will reimburse me for co-pay. Since I have Group Health, they can't do co-pay themselves. Something to do with company they get the drug from. They don't approve Group Health.
I saw my neuro today. She is soo nice. It's only my second visit with her. She asked questions and listened to me. Is nice when drs do that. I don't go back until Jan. She told me to let her know, if my symptoms get worse before then.
Once get bankruptcy done, can see a psychiatrist at Group Health. They should have some. Definitely need to get profesional help. It's way past time. I probably wouldn't be as depressed or feel as worthless as I do now. I never really felt cared about by my parents. I fighted alot with mom, when younger. My dad works alot to support us. He never talked to us kids much.
Just felt alone alot and worthless. Sure alot of people feel this way. I don't like to talk about myself. I chalked it up to me being a boring person and that was why people didn't talk to me much. Would feel bad if someone didn't want to talk to me, so I internalized alot. Kept it to myself. Didn't think anyone cared enough to know how I was feeling. Am ready to get help. I know I need it. I want to be in a relationship, with a guy who loves me. I guess I'm just nervous I wont find him. Sorry this is so long. Thanks for reading this. Karina

I'm so happy you said something. We're here to help each other. I'd be so sad knowing you were hurting this way and keeping it all bottled up if there was some little thing I could do to help you, even if it was just to listen. Truly, I'd be SO sad. Thank you for trusting us.
I hope there's something that can be done. We're just getting started here. And maybe Quix can do something, too. I rely on her a lot if I'm down. She's got so much training, I would really like to see you get to see a licensed psychologist through an agency in your town if we can swing that soon. Would you go for that? Get rid of that weight off your shoulders. You've been carrying this a long time. It's time to let go.
Anyway, the forum is acting weird today again, I don't think it's just my ISP. My kids are all home, and I'm going to make them some lunch while I have a smidge of energy left! Take care.

These are numbers I got for the Volunteers of America. It's a social services organization in Everett: (425) 212-3900 on Lombard or (425) 259-3191 on Broadway.
My internet service provider is acting up today, so I'm just going to send this while I can. I'll try my best to chat with you later. I hope you are hloding up well. I'm proud of you.
Feel well!

Help with numbers would be nice. Not real sure how to go about it. Hope I can do it. I do feel like a weight has been lifted off of me. I felt guilty for so lon, even though it wasn't my fault. I've heard on tv shows about people talking about being molested or raped and wondered, why are you telling others? Don't you want to keep it to yourself? To hide your shame. I guess they came to terms with what happened to them, to some degree and I need to do that now for me. Just wish I would of came to this conclusion sooner!! Thanks for help and for caring. Karina
