Hello

[Girl50]

My name is Jill and I was diagnosed in 2015. I’ve been on Copaxone, Tecfedera and Gilenya; I am currently taking that one. I have relapsing remitting ms. I felt relieved to finally have a diagnosis. It took about 6 years to get a diagnosis. I’m losing some weight and taking care of myself. I’m learning my limits so I don’t get worn out real fast. I’m careful in the heat as well.

I was born in Indiana and a year and a half ago I moved to North Carolina. The weather in Indiana was hard on me. So far down here I’m doing pretty good. It’s been rainy for weeks now and I’m tired of it. It is nice today though so I’m going to the pool with my roommate.

Yes, our apartment complex has a pool. It’s awesome! We are also 20 mins from the beach.

Welcome to the forum. This is a wonderful place to get information and share your stories. We all benefit from the stories. I only wish you didn’t need to be here. That being said, this group has helped me cope with the disease and it’s wonderful effects. Please continue to share and offer insight. It can be a bumpy ride, so wear your seatbelt!😁

Hello Girl50, it's Fancy1959. It sounds like you're on the right track figuring out your body's limits and what this monster were fighting has imposed upon you. I spent a lot of time in my youth in Indiana in a little town in Southeastern Indiana fall Cedar Grove. It was about 8 miles out of Brookville Indiana. We lived along the Whitewater River and the heat wasn't so bad because when it got hot we just played in the river Non-Stop. Did they tell you how long they thought you had MS? When I was diagnosed about 5 years ago they told me at the time they thought that I'd already had MS 12 to 15 years or perhaps a bit more.

Officially I just wanted to say hello and welcome you to our awesome family. We promise to give you a safe place to come and ask questions, voice concerns, or simply speak to others who truly understand it. I can't wait to get to know you better because I'm certain there is much we can learn from each other. Until we speak again please take care and remember together we are stronger. Fancy.

I’m trying to find a safe and supportive place to talk with others. I think I finally found a great one. They think I’ve had it for at least 10 years
