Judy, is your daughter on any kind of medication for her MS? I had a big scare with that. I was on a medication for Crohn's which I had been taking for a few years. I started having weird symptoms, like my balance was off, my legs felt heavy and I had a hard time walking, and I kept getting pulled over by the police for weaving. I went to my dr., and he sent me to a neurologist. They did some testing and said I had MS. I was devastated, as I couldn't imagine how I was going to manage with two illnesses.

I was taken off the medication because it didn't seem to be controlling my Crohn's anymore, and a couple months later my symptoms disappeared. I mentioned it to the dr., and he did some testing and decided that I don't actually have MS. What was happening was that the medication was causing symptoms of MS, along with some scarring on my brain which he said might reverse since I'm off the medication.

I haven't had anymore symptoms, but my balance still isn't completely right. I hope your daughter is able to manage her MS. I know how hard it can be because my son-in-law's aunt has it and my ex-supervisor has it. It can be scary at times. I will keep her in my prayers.

Sorry to hear about your tough week. My finace's uncle has Crohn's disease so I am sort of familiar with the disease... hope you are feeling better today

It's been really cold here, and plans for this weekend are simply to RELAX now that Thanksgiving and booking the DJ will officially be put behind me lol

Enjoy your bird everyone
