I wonder why they're not staying to visit? I like us! Maybe it will pick up over the weekend. Do people in general have more time to visit on the computer on weekends or is that the time to go do something else?

I promise to use my deoderant after I bathe, maybe that will help...oh, did I remember to bathe? OOPS!!!

i absolutely love your sense of humor. i guess they figure there are only 3 members - so we can't be a very active group...????  i don't know. boomers is a little slower to respond and grow i have noticed than other sites.

not to mention, there are still soooo many with MS out there that are still afraid to "talk" about their condition and their symptoms. i reticent early on; i felt like i was constantly complaining. . . maybe i was, but if ya don't wanna know, don't ask!

I didn't used to talk about it either, especially when it was still suspect. I don't know why really, except that I've never been much of a whiner and felt stupid enough telling my Dr about all the dumb little seemingly unrelated "symptoms." I almost had myself convinced I was a hypochondriac, then I'd question if you could really be one if you knew you were doing it (complaining) and I'd wonder if true hypo's actually DID feel all the things they complained about or if they just complain to attract attention knowing full well there isn't really anything wrong.

I decided it was time to spell it out, honestly get this...when kids started asking my kids if I was a drug user or crack addict because of my appearance! Talk about embarassing!! My very first (and only really serious) attack- or whatever you want to call it- I dropped over 40 lb in about 3 weeks and apparently it affected the part that tells you to eat or that you're hungry. That was in June of 1995, and it's since been one hell of a struggle to keep weight on. No, this isn't thin in a good way! I've tried several meds over the years that have weight gain as the top side effect, which is what convinced the Docs that that part of my brain is destroyed.

So anyway...was I going somewhere with this? Ida know.

I'm gonna go start that new thread and read the book I'm working on I think. It is now 12:44 am in my part of the world (Wa State). I hope you'all are having some happy sleep!!
