Congratulations! That is very exciting!

I am so glad to hear you are doing well! Keeping you in my thoughts!

Im glad you are doing well! I was on copaxone, but had new disease activity, but im great. I have no problems walking or anything despite my many lesions. My memory is another story. It is the worst. Tysabri is still pretty scary, but in the first year the risk is pretty low. I doubt i will be allowed to continue, and im fine with that. I had issues with solumedrol too. I not only gained a ton of weight, it gave me compression fractures in my back. Its fine now, but i want to stay far far away. Lol. I also dont have a sx date, but i am hoping the process moves pretty quickly. I meet with my surgeon next week so im excited for that. When will you find out about yours?

Thank you all for your feedback! I will report back after my appt next week!

I hope you are doing well!

Woohoo!!!

I am the same way! Just getting started myself, and im so ready to get going. . Good luck to you!

Good luck!!! You will do great!! Hugs

Yes i am rr. I was on copaxone, but just switched to tysabri, so my immune system is crazy low. How are you feeling? Not that i am happy you have ms, but it is nice to see i am not alone.

Thank you MsCook! That is very important. Mine is def a calendar year, but that is a good point. Thankfully, my deduct and oop are low, so even if i dont get in this year it is ok. I have ms so my mri's and ms treatment alone get that met pretty fast. It will probably be met again by feb. lol.

Yes, and i want to not be afraid of the camera.

I would love to be able to run in an event like for breast cancer or multiple sclerosis. I can't wait to take a dance class. I would love to do zumba. I want to be able to bike all over on the trails. I also want to go on a shopping marathon and buy all of the cute skinny girl clothes!

I have multiple sclerosis, and was wondering if anyone else does too? Did you have to come off of your meds before surgery? Was the surgeon hesitant to operate because of your illness?

Congratulations! Glad to hear you are doing well!
