Multiple Sclerosis

Mon Apr 2, 2007, 8:27 AM


Quite a tricky term isn't it? I just finished reading up on it since a few hours ago I was diagnosed with just that. Even though I do have two cases in my direct family, I never really knew what it was.

I am kind of swinging between fear and relief right now. Relief because I finally know what was going on with me in the past and the symptoms I had and of course fear because it can be quite a severe illness.

However, looking back to my medical history it looks like I do not have the worst case. I had mild incidents in about 5 year circles and they always went away. Besides I look at it as an opportunity to see my life with different eyes and eat more healthy :)

I mostly write this because it is the reason I haven't been active on any forums lately, not even my own and I won't be for a bit longer. I would really like to apologize for not getting back to all notes and e-mails and comments and hope you understand :)

I'll be in hospital for about 6 days for cortisone treatment to stop the inflammation of my bone marrow/nerves and have some more tests made. After this I can hopefully go home again.

So I see everyone soon! :heart:

Good luck! We love you! And I would recommend massage, if you can stand to be touched.

It's pretty clear now that what looked like it might have been some kind of counterculture is, in reality, just the plain old chaos of undifferentiated weirdness.
Oh sweetie :( I'm glad you finally found out what it is that's been wrong, but sad at what it is. I don't know a ton about it, other than that it can be rather... not sure how to say it other than that it comes and goes rather randomly at times? I think that's what I'm thinking of is MS anyway. :hug: Take care of yourself hon, and keep us updated as you can. I'll keep you in my thoughts, bit closer to the front than usual ;)
i have a few friends doing med currently...i think they refered to multiple sclerosis as severe deterioration of the muscle.
=(
i hope you'll be able to work through it...*hugs*

Oh goodness, I am so sorry to hear about this... When I saw the title on the journal in my inbox, I thought "Aww man, tell me there's not another awesome artist stricken with something like this...". I myself have a muscular disorder which causes me pain 24 hours a day. It's not very threatening or serious, but, it has dashed many art dreams for me, as I am limited in how many hours (or in some case minutes) I can draw or sit at a computer. Ironically, it struck my hands and arms the very weekend before I left for art school. Thanks to this disorder, I was just shy of graduating with honors. I also couldnt go on to become an animator (too hard on my hands).

Stay strong and know that you have a lot of support. Plus, medical advances today are incredible! I have know several people with this disease who led very full lives. My middle school principal and one of my highschool teachers both had MS, and they were living normal lives. All the best wishes, and I hope treatment goes smoothly for you. You're not alone in your battle, that's for sure. :)
