i live in spokane washington, and because of MS i haven't been able to work for the last 3 years.. my last job of 5 yrs i worked at an arboretum. i am still able to do most things, but usually at a slow pace.. i try to be thankful for what i have and try to remember that things could always be worse... i'm single with no kids, but enjoy being around them most of the time... my interests include nature, music, women, humor, and film.. i casually play guitar, bass, and drums when i feel well enough, and some of my sounds can be heard at https://www.facebook.com/maroonbellz/app_204974879526524

my symptoms began jan. '04 at age 40.. depression, dizziness, numbing on the top of my head, then down to my left side ribs and in my hand, where it remains today.. 7 yrs of undx.. dx in dec. 2010... symptoms include dizziness, depression, fatigue, left-sided weakness/numbness, balance issues, bladder urgency, tinnitus, sinusitis, muscle spasms, hoarse throat and cognitive difficulty... i began copaxone mid march, CCSVI venoplasty was done 4/12/11, my symptoms were better for a few days, but 6 weeks later all symptoms returned to normal, but at least i have better blood flow to the lesions which should help slow down the progression.. wellbutrin is helping with depression, dizziness & cog-fog.. i stopped copaxone in october due to ineffectiveness and toxicity, but may take it again if water-only fasting does not help.. question pharma and Dr.'s... see ccsvi in seattle...
