Bike Goddess writes "Dave (whom I live with) has a sister who has MS. So I am touched in a distant way by this disease."
I think we're all touched by it
"here in California AIDS and Cancer get a lot of publicity. MS seems to take the back seat much of the time."
Sorry to politicise the board wouldn't it be a great day if the Navy had a bike-athon to build an aircraft carrier and our schools, health care, medical research had all the money they need? I hate it when good causes all have to fight each other for money/attention.
We could cure almost all I think if our prioritys were not so skewed.
"What you are doing and what the TNT group does is so very valuable at raising public awareness of what MS is all about. And, Sadie Kate has been a real inspiration to all of us who have had the pleasure of meeting and riding with her."
I agree, hats off to all our TE gals, inspiring and raiseing awareness, saveing turtles, saveing lives.

MS dx'd
Geochick, so sorry to hear about the dx'd. I was dx'd with MS 3 yrs ago. I'm sure sadiek. and profÃ*vélo can give you some good advice too. I am on Avonex. Thankfully my hubby is a big support and the MS ctr of Atlanta has a good staff. I think it is very good to do alot of research on your own and read all you can. There is alot of information out there and the medical field is very good about getting info about the news drugs out to the public. I just hate that it takes up so much of my time. It seems like I have to schedule my life around this disease. It steals from me. It steals my life, health, emtions, etc. I HATE it. So keep fighting it. Even when you have to lay down and rest...do so, but keep that strong attitude you possess girl !
If you have any questions or need to talk, please post. We need each other because like I always say, "healthy people cannot understand sick people. Not because they don't want to. It's just they can't. Unless you go thru it, you can't understand fully."

geo... I just came across this post today... wow, what an emotional roller coaster this must be right now...
I've no experience with MS myself, but am adding my T's and P's... glad you have a good doc... that makes a world of difference...
sadiekate... I have seen the post about the Amici Veloce jersey in the general forum but DID NOT know the significance... very cool. The cycling community is amazingly supportive in so many ways to so many people...Last edited by bikerchick68; 10-04-2005 at 12:30 PM.
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

Hi Geochick! I missed the original post. So sorry to hear your diagnosis! My prayers (and virtual cookies) will be sent your way ~ as with the other gals.
How did the ride go?
