    Spasms on the back of my head, neck and across my shoulders. Usually comes on after a day of being active in my power chair. Rest and relaxation help.

    My family and my friends, especially my great grand kids. They bring out the best in me and inspire me to live the best life I can by doing whatever necessary to accomplish that. Be my best every day

    Yes in 2010 with SPMS after about 30 years of symptoms and already in a power chair because of weakness in my arms and legs and balance. So when I got the diagnosed I had already been through the worse not knowing not being on any MS modifying drugs. Now at age 79 and I am doing fine with the symptoms I am having. About once or twice a year I get three days of Solu-Medral. My doctor says I have a mild case of MS called benign MS. No problems with the spinal tap. Have only two scars in my brain and they are old. Have been told I do not have MS because the scars are not Dawson Fingers but my doctor says otherwise. Got my diagnose with the spinal tap. I am concerned about the MIRs contrast. Have had 11 since 2005.  I have some symptoms of Gadolinium toxicity.
