Me too! She actually called today to see how I'm doing. She wanted to make sure I'm ok before the holiday. I told her I'm doing well. She told me to take it easy and not overdo for Thanksgiving lol

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.
