Hate to hear it was a bad year for a few of yall... Hope things go better in '08.

Overall, it was a good year for me..Have been single since me and pancakes broke up in March, and loving every minute of it. Really have no desire for a relationship. Have had *** with more girls this year than I had in my previous 17 1/2. Which may or may not be a good thing. Hunting was AWESOME for me this year, deer and turkey. When I came home for the summer, everyone commented on how much bigger and better I looked. Still hitting the weights hard.

However a lot of shit has happened to my vehicle. A little windshield crack ended up tkaing over my entire windshield in a week. A large tree limb fell and nailed my blazer putting a big dent in the front quarter panel, and a few dents in the hood. And then my transmission went out in October.

I'd rate my year an 8 out of 10.

what did you do when you found out your girl had MS?

This was my ex...but there was nothing really I could do. She has to take a shot 3 times per week...which is crazy. We had to scedule when we go places because the medicine she is on means she couldn't go out in the sun or be in the hot. But all in all it didn't change much...there where days when she couldn't control her legs (like they were numb so she couldn't walk) and I would just lay with her until she got the steroid injections to make them work again. It wasn't all that bad. I didn't break up with her because she has MS, but I do worry about it. I am decent friends with her new boyfriend so I feel that she is in good hands and he will take care of her whenever one of the episodes strikes. FWIW the medicine is called Rebiff. Although nothing is as traumatic as seeing them stick those needles in her back during the testing.

My new girl has something wrong with her uterus or something. I don't really understand wtf is going on though as the doctor didn't talk to me. It doesn't seem as dehibilitating but she has these pains and whatnot. It limits my secsitime, but that is okay I guess. If we get married, that would limit it as well so it isn't a big deal. The testing for this is pretty bad. It seems as if they drill a hole in her belly to insert a flashlight and then cram some kinda device up in her to do something. I am not a big fan of all these people being up in my gf but they are trying to help her. I assume that is going to be the big event of 08. If she wants, I'll take off work to be with her. I am not a doctor so I don't know what I can do....but people at work say you should ask off when your spouse is having surgery but I still don't understand why.

I see. Its something i worry about with my girl since MS runs in her family, supposedly its only every 3rd generation and her mom has it. So that would mean its possible our grandkids could have it. Not something i really want to think about passing on to my kids, ya know?

Many times i worry about what i would do if she has it though. Im not sure i could handle it, her mom is fcking insane because of the meds and completely disabled. Sucks. Thanks for sharing man.

Her grandmother had it (well they thank so)...Anything is possible.

It's not that bad if it is treated early..but the x-rays look crazy. She has the spots on her brain. It looks like someone shot her up with some BBs or something. She was smart and an art person. But she also was crazy insecure and annoyed my friends. I do not think any of the emotional problems she had was related to the MS.

I do not think there is a good understanding about MS. It makes your legs not work...like when your foot is aleep? She says it is like that, but both legs. She can move them, but has poor balance because she does not know when her foot touches the ground. The medicine didn't seem to make her cranky, crazy, not want sexitime, etc. It just slowed down the number of episodes. An episode is a time when they legs/arms/ etc don't work. The steroid injections don't make them grow a mustache or anything like that, so don't worry.

The best thing you can do is to make sure she sees the Dr. regularly and be sure to report any issues involving the nervous system (like control over muscles). What you can do if you find out she has it is to plan around the side effects of the medicine. The medicine made her sleep alot. It was very annoying as she would go to sleep like 8pm sometimes...or we would go to a weekend vacation and she would sleep most of the time. I try to remember that she didn't do that on purpose. Also, you should ask the Dr. a bunch of questions...girls are dumb and don't ask many questions. Well, maybe she was just tramatized and didn't think to ask. You'll also get hit with about $8k in medical bills as each specilist bills crazy amounts so even after insurance you are fvcked. The week she got tested and stayed in the hospital was over $100k. Lucky her dad is ballin and paid for it and allow her to pay him back as she could. But just be there. There are gonna be some times it ruins your day, or vacation or whatever...and it sucks. But it isn't all that bad...if you detect it early and take the medicine right...it isn't too bad. It is easier to cope with medical problems that things like a girl's past or whatever.

I took off work when my sister had surgery. I couldn't imagine not taking off when a spouse has surgery.

Because I am not a doctor. There is nothing I can do. She wouldn't even know if I was there or not and prolly too tired to even fvck with me. I have been is the hospital a time or two. I expected people to drop by but not to stay. The world doesn't stop turning because I am in the hospital. But I recognize that others feel differently. WHen she has her surgery, I will be there. I am not sure what I can do while I am there...bring a magazine or homework or something.

Sounds like you've got a Xanax addiction problem.

That's why I never seeked help like I thought I was going to in the thread I made. Those medicines they give don't help the probelms.

I got married so that's cool.

I just had back surgery so that sucks.

I'll graduate college in May so that's cool.
