                        I, too have MS.  Many of the problems you cited are related to it.  Try to be active, especially mentally.  Has your dr. suggested on of the 3 major therapies?  I take a weekly injection - Avonex.  I seem to be maintaining at the level of diagnosis.  I believe it is worth a try. Be in touch for more info. By the way, I was diagnosed at a much later time of my life.  Don't be devestated by Montel Williams' commercial.  More about that when I hear from you.
