My MS Remains Inactive



I had my semi-annual MRI at Shepherd Center last week. Thankfully my MRIs get further apart the longer it continues to be inactive.

I haven't had any MS, (Multiple Sclerosis) relapses since 1994.  I began taking the disease modifying medications that came on the market that year.   I thank God the meds stopped the progression of the disease, which is rare.

Oh I still have fatigue, damage, and other symptoms to deal with but I can still live a good life!

Dont give up hope because I couldn't imagine myself getting better with age.....when I needed help bathing myself in 1993!

That's wonderful news! It may be an indication that your MS wll continue to be inactive in the future years, and no new lesion added to the existing ones.

Hey Kim, thanks for the comment on the blog about the birdfeeders....I hope you are doing well. Does the weather affect your MS? Do you have pain all the time? Drop me a message to answer this if you want at pjack214@bellsouth.net. I know that a lot of things like MS are like Fibro except MS is more so harmful.
