Librarian
 I
am the librarian53. My name is Libby. I have asked the room to call me
Lib. I am in Arkansas 40 miles from Graceland Elvis's home in Memphis,
TN. I was dxed in July, 2005. As I was hit I was effected by the light
alot. I couldn't walk without holding on to something. (The wall or
anything.) I didn't need the strength, just the touch. I was normal in
everyway except I did fall alot 6 months before I was dxed. I was
taking care of my mom and didn't want to break anything, so I became
the best faller!! My dad passed away in 2003 on Christmas Eve so I was
taking care of my mom. She passed away Jan. 20, 2005, I was dxed with
MS that July. I was married for the 2nd time June, 2004. I got divorced
in the year 2000, so I never had MS during my first marriage. I use a
walker or an electric wheel chair to get around now. I was an
elementary librarian up until this June at which I retired on
disabilities. I enjoy talking to people with the same problems like MS
as I do. I am 53 now and have went through the adjustments of having
MS. My husband supports me and is very caring towards me. I have 2
daughters 23 and 25. I have 2 grandsons 1 year and 6 months. I am on
Tysabri infusions monthly. I took my 6th one 1/08/2008 Thursday. I
think it is an amazing drug. Many that I have talked to have been
helped out of the wheelchair and walking. I live in hopes in time it
will help me too! The only other medicene I have taken for MS is
Avonex. It did nothing for me and messed my mind up badly. My quality
of life was bad. The only pain that I have is in my right arm and my
bladder has been effected..............So for those two things I take
medicene for. My sleep has been effective alot. That's my story!! smile
