Perhaps this was because that's the way it is around here; definite pauses between words now & again. Sometimes my pauses are so long I forget what I was talking about! I suppose there are worse MS symptoms to be glad you don't have.

I told them I had MS because 1. I wanted them to know. 2. Im tired with living with the secret burden of having to confess when it ultimately affects my work.

I was searching in google for Rebismart ...Hi Emily!<br />I was searching in google for Rebismart when I found your blog. I'm Klaudia 22 years old, from Hungary, Europe. MS was diagnosed for me in April, 2012. When it started, i had problems with walking, than a month later my left arm became unskillful. That's why i had to start using Rebismart. <br />As you mentioned in your blog, the injection is a little unpleasant for me too. And i'm afraid of needles anyway.. I didn't feel differences between the speed of injection, it burns a bit any how i try. However, the bodypart matters a lot for me. Injection into belly hurts more than into legs or arms. I only use this device for a couple of weeks, so i have to get used to it. :/<br />It's good to see/read that there are ppl with MS living a fulfill life. In Hungary, MS is a kind of taboo, i don't have anyone to talk about it (except my MS nurse and family). I've read about 'MS walk' which, i think, is a great event. Unfortunately we don't have anything like that in Hungary.It felt sympathetic to read your blog, and i hope that everything is okay with you, and you live a happy and fulfill life besides MS! :)I'm on the point of living this way too.<br /><br />Best wishes!<br />KlaudiaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16972662190979958443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966207659488764392.post-30200892050390665462012-05-03T16:08:26.988-05:002012-05-03T16:08:26.988-05:00Hi Emms!

I can understand your worrying but this can worsen the problem. You have a great sense of humour, use it. Draw on that amazing inner strength you possess. It's been there since your diagnosis.

Grabbing sox to put on once I'm downstairs, and once downstairs, realizing I have underwear in my hand. Opening up my lunch bag and realizing that I have the alphaghetti, and one of my kids must have the Lean Cuisine. It could be age....maybe it's the weather....maybe it's all those bad drugs we did when we were young. Until someone else notices AND complains (the Lean Cuisine thawed, so Rebeccah just ate it cold without caring), I say we just laugh at ourselves.<br />Chin up! hugs coming your way....Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950333358396584839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966207659488764392.post-40088897312236208182012-01-16T22:45:11.041-06:002012-01-16T22:45:11.041-06:00I read outloud now days and it helps, really helps...I read outloud now days and it helps, really helps process WHAT I am reading.
