Jumping In

Hello

I’m Becky. I’ve been hanging back on support groups, not getting involved because of mainly anxiety.

I’m doing ONE new thing to improve my quality of life, and resolved to post one thing each day so that I might connect with others and learn.

I know I can’t do this alone, and need each of you!

Thanks for this forum that offers support and education!

Thanks

Becky

Welcome to our crazy group of MS we’re you can vent and find out lots of information about MS from people who care 👍. We are not doctors but we are living it and knowing what each other feels 😊. I was diagnosed twenty three years ago and have been on seven different DMT’s. I have a brace on my right foot drop and use a cane off and on. My wife has that same chair you are in and my best buddy gave it to us along with a electric wheelchair that I use. Both were used but well taken care of🙏. His wife has had MS for twenty eight years and he bought her new scooter 👍. Anyway I look forward to getting to know you 👍. Ken 🐾🐾

Hi Becky you know that you are welcome here you can talk or just listen to the jaba just going back and forth. But it’s nice to know that someone else is going through what your going through.

I’m ssdw1959 I’ve been here since summer of 2016 at think it’s been that long.

My brain has been in a fog the last few weeks.

bischaar You've got style! I love the wrap, but how do you keep it on as you scoot about? Everytime I wear a shawl while I'm in the wheelchair, it gets caught in the wheels. It's a royal pain to work free. Maybe I'm just a klutz and you are coordinated? All suggestions will be attempted! Welcome to the family

My daughter gave it to me as a birthday gift. She said, “don’t get it caught in your scooter!” I thought, what does she think I am? Well five minutes later, I did just that! Lol. That girl knows me!! 😆

It takes time to untangle that from the wheels it wrapped around. Ear buds too. And dog leashes!

Yes, people stare while I attempt to untangle! What a sight that must be!!

I know I’m tardy to the party, but “hey, girl!”! Are you in MD, or did I read wrong? I’m also in MD.

[Hidden in reply to Kj9681]

Yes! Rockville

Welcome Becky! I don't get support at home but I sure do here! It's a great place! I gave up on Facebook...to much political stuff there that just makes me stressed. None here and I love it! People here make me smile and that just warms me up! I hope you will find it the same!

[Hidden in reply to mrsmike9]

Great post- I agree on FB; it seemed to be a negative trigger for me, so I eliminated the irritation!!!

[ssdw1958 in reply to Hidden]

You are so right about FB but this is the place to be.

Welcome to this forum, Hidden ! I have learned so much from this forum. We are all here to lend each other a hand. And there are many posts, not all of them are on the serious side! So, stop by and enjoy this comradery. It does make for a more pleasant 'ms' journey when go at it with friends who understand.
