Hello

[greaterexp]

Lisajp1018 , welcome to the group! I hope you find as much information and support here as I have.

It’s a roller coaster of symptoms and emotions at times with MS, as well as in terms of acceptance. You’re here with a group who understand!

[Lisajp1018 in reply to greaterexp]

Thank you so much its nice to be able to talk to someone who knows how I feel

Hi Lisajp1018 ! Its a tough diagnosis to accept for most of us. I was able to accept it quickly only because I had myself convinced I had something worse like an inoperable tumor. I was a single mom at the time and was worried about who would raise my daughter if I wasn't around. I have quite the imagination! So...MS was the lesser of evils.

Its a little odd that your doctor doesn't know which form of MS you have. If you aren't seeing a neurologist that specializes in MS, you might consider finding one to be part of your medical team. They typically keep up with the latest info related to MS...much more so than a non-MS neurologist or regular doctor. Just a suggestion.

@lisajp1018 Welcome I was diagnosed 2014 also but I had it for a lot longer. You will find this a very supportive group and a great source of information.

[cljones]

@lisajp1018 I forgot to tell you my doctor told me it doesn't matter which MS I have. Then I learned that if they tell you that it's other than RRMS that the insurance company may not want to pay for your meds.

[Lisajp1018 in reply to cljones]

Okay well thank you for the info but I'm not seeing a doctor anymore and I don't take meds just God and essential oils I don't work I have no insurance my husband is the only one working and the government can't help us cuz he makes too much money I'd like to know where the money is I have been to there doctor and he said I was disabled but he only put it for three years but they still can't help because of my husband making too much money but I'm doing fine with God and my oils

[Kenu in reply to Lisajp1018]

Can’t you be on husbands insurance? What about SSDI, did you work prior? I know it’s tough to go thru money issues.

[Lisajp1018 in reply to Kenu]

No he doesn't have insurance either cause we can't afford it and yes I did work but they said I'm missing 2 quarters

[Kenu in reply to Lisajp1018]

Sorry to hear that. My wife lacks one quarter also. She had stayed home to raise our son. Can’t get SSDI and has chrons and arthritis, both chronic. She is 59. I have been on SSDI for two years due to stage four throat cancer and unable to work. We are on Obama’s health plan. What about it?

[Lisajp1018 in reply to Kenu]

I'm sorry I will put y'all in my prayers no we haven't tried that but I will look it up

[mrsmike9]

2014...Me too! Just keep going. I keep going until I just start to tire and then I stop. If I push past that I WILL pay for it! Life does not stop with this stupid disease.

[Lisajp1018 in reply to mrsmike9]

I will I like to think of myself as a fighter and a worrier but some days I'm not so sure but you hang in there to

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Lisajp1018]
