I have crawled kicking and screaming from a very dark place that this MS has put me in. From the electrical/ pinching sensations on ankles, whole body numbness to the stabbing pain in my head and the general depression that such pain causes. These sensations eventually went away after 9 months. I have managed to get back to my normal self. I have put the MS Monster back in its box. As steroids causes more health problems that are difficult to overcome. ie, falling over and breaking a hip because of osteoporosis. This was an option that was not available to me. I then tried Amantadine. It was ok for 3 days before the the nausea was to much. I have now on Modafinil and it is like night and day. It have given me back a lot more energy, I am not sleepy all the time, my legs feel stronger. Although the side effects of increased headaches, insomnia are something I can live with. I also have stopped watching depressing television and only listen to Steve Allen and Nick About on LBC, they do make me laugh. Not getting stressed in the key. I have started more design commissions and I am doing things I enjoy doing. Thank you for reading this, there is hope. I will not this MS destroy my soul. Take care everyone. Never give up and never surrender. Anthony
