After yesterday when I went to my doctor. My blood tests came back and my thyroid gland is fine. Which is wonderful. I go back to my nerologist on the 22nd of this month. To see if I will take the same shot for my ms or something else. I hope I will stay on the same shot just lower the dosage. I have been on rebif since Febuary 2003. I don't want to take Novantore like I was told before that I will proberly need to start taking. Since I am almost secondary progrosive ms. Which scares me. Novantrone is a chemo thearpy drug that is used for ms. All I can do is pray and hope that everything works out for the best.

Good news, indeed! I'm happy to hear that your tests came back fine. Thanks for the lovely pm, the other day. I've been taking some time off Mylot lately to rest my hands and pursue other ventures. My hands hurt when I type too much. So I'm not around Mylot much lately. But today I wanted to check in with everyone. My daughter has loved the extra "Mommy" time during my Mylot absence. She's learning how to read and write. It's been lots of fun. Best wishes with the situation with the meds. I'll keep you in my prayers!

Thank you and you are welcome for the pm. I hope your hands get to feeling better. That is very understandable to take a break for your hands. I think that is way I reply more then I start a discussion. I am sure it doesn't pay as much though but I get tired and in pain alo. That is really good about your daughter learning how to read and write. I will keep you in my prayers also. Great hearing back from you.

Pardon my ignorance, but I don't know about MS? What is that?. I also have a fat neck, which I think more on a thyroid problem, do you think I will consult doctor? What are the signs if you have a thyroid problem? Anyhow, i wish you recover as fast as you hope for. I wish all of my friends together with their loved ones became healthy and strong.

MS means multiple sclrosis which is a diease of the nervous system. It can cause all kinds of problems. It also depends on the person who has it. I myself have had problems with my vision,walking as well as bladder problems.

Now Thyroid problems I am not sure about. I was just told to have the thyroid test done to see why I am losing my hair. I am still not really sure why.
