I'm a "newbie" and haven't figured out correct dating for posting yet --12/03/04 (back to the edit page, obviously!). Multiple Sclerosis isn't yet a topic, but I thought it could be if there is any interest in sharing information, resources, encouragement and "lessons learned." I was diagnosed in 1987. My neurologist refers to me as his "poster child." I think that's a compliment since I'm very active physically and work part-time as a floral designer for a major grocery store chain.
