Overdue Update 

I could see where being a "selfless" person could relate to MS. Stress, responsibilities are precursers to MS.

So good to see you Maria! When I went to my dr with he possibility of MS - she told me - if this were 10/20 years ago, I would be sad for you, but there are options now - it sounds strange to be 'happy' to have MS, but this would be the time. Congrats on the year of tysabri and the crutches. When I saw that CCSVI made the New York Times, I immediately thought of you! Please continue to take care,

Hi Maria, You don't know how happy I was to see a new video from you. I have missed you sooo much. I understand needing to take a break when things are just not going the way you had hoped. I haven't watched Mark's video yet so off to it. Just happy that your back! Love, Andrea

Dear Maria, we so missed you!!!! I am so glad that you are back and that we can see you again and hear your latest news! You are a very thoughtful young woman and you have a big heart...your video is wonderful because you opened your heart to all of us and you allowed us to get to know you more...and see how special you are inside! I do agree with you: we live at a time when the world feels a lot smaller and we can feel closer to each other more than ever before! Thank you, dear Maria! hugs

I have always done more for others than for myself. I ended up sacrificing a lot sometimes. But I don't think I would have ever chose to get MS. On another note. I notice your cat sneaking into the room from the open door in the background. Then jumping up on the desk. You could be talking on the phone and it would do the same thing. Typical cat always wanting to be the center of attention. lol.

Lovely to see you but so sorry for what you are going through with the medicos! It is discouraging. Awesome news about your walking. Imagine talking to someone in Australia?? haha we are SOOO far away! The world is so much smaller now for sure which definitely gives us all strength. Love to you, Kerri x

Hi Maria, I have been taking Ampyra for 10 days, so far nothing :( I will keep you posted Randy in Kentucky

You are welcome :) You never know sometimes those who inspire you are also inspired by you.

@MsGirlOnline I can see your point of view and we all have our own opinions. It's just that in life, us humans like to make excuses or put the blame on someone or something else. Even on our own shoulders. Some times things happen for no reason at all. We can analyze things to death but we all have very little control over our lives at the best of times. All we can do is to make the most of what is thrown at us and to never give up.

Happy to see you having an epiphany :)

Wonderful to see you :)

Best of luck with the Ampyra :)

Maria, i have some good information for you. will send in a PM. I can possibly help get you to one of the best IR's who is interested.
