Thanx! I am very excited, this wil be our first child. I am 24 now and I was diagnosed two years ago. However on top of my MS I also have an immune deficiency, migranes and Degenerative Disc Desiease (the tissue "cushioning" on three of my spinal lunbars are eroded). With all of these together it is sometimes hard to tell which is causing the pain. But I do notice much more fatigue and muscle weakness when I am not taking my daily shot Copaxone. I have bladder issues too, it actually had started to lessen when i first became pregnant but now its back. Usually the pain is there but managable, but since I do not have any meds now it has become worse. I was never put on steriods, actually my family has had quite a bad experience with steriods. My sister also has immune defienciency disorder and lupos among many other things, but her doctors felt the best way to deal with it at the time was to fill her system with steriods, which led to her gaining about 90 lbs in the course of few months which just added more problems in stead of helping any, so I have also been a little resistant with steriods. Do you find them useful? Have they helped with your MS? How is your family coping with the seceptable difference with your health? My husband feels awful, even thougth there is nothing he can do, actually I think that just make it worse. Do you find it easier now that you are not working? I have only ever taken one week off for an unexplained seizure, and now it looks like I'll have to stop working for a while and I dont know how I feel about that, but its family first and I'll do what I have to. How do you do it with such a big family?
