Our son Scott 32 -hes a teacher- lives in United Arab Emirates with his beautiful German girl friend Connie, and our daughter Jo 30 lives in Australia with her delightful Australian partner Brad. She is due to have her first baby at the end of March. Our first gran child. I am 59 years young and have had ms for about 20 years. After knowing something was wrong for 8 years.

Our son is getting married in Hawaii this year so will go there. I am an artist but my eyes are starting to get very tired very quickly and I must take breaks every so often. I also enjoy good wine and good food. Yes I am over weight. But not too much. We have 2 very spoilt dogs -lab X huntaway- and a pair of turtles. I look around at so called healthy people who moan and groan about their life and I feel so lucky. I may have ms but I have a wonderful family and friends who surport me and what I consider a full and enjoyable life. I would love to make contact with other people with ms.
Blue^Eyes		It's on the way, hopefully .....
carman		Hi everybody! What's happenin? My name is Carman (aka Larry) DX MS 1972. I enjoy all kinds of stuff such as target shooting, playing poker, fooling around on the computer, and harassing Ich. I am 50 years old, married to the most wonderful girl in the world (Rockinwoman - check out her website) for 28 years. I was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV and survived a 13 year tenure in the gaming business and then moved on to the car business. Any other questions, you can e mail me...I have no secrets.
Catnip		Hi! I call myself Catnip on IRc (and answer to it in RL faster than my given name). I have been an IRC addict for about 10 years and am an Admin (a lesser God) on another server. I was DX'd with MS about 5 years ago- never heard of it till then, but now that I know, I bet I had it for years before that. I live in Michigan s/w of Detroit, I am 48 and divorced (happily ever after) and live with my cat and my dog- Mysti and Fara. I am still a party girl, definately liberal, relapsing/remitting and on Rebif (among other things....MANY other things). I am a witty (ok, smartass) intelligent (Associate's in computers) school lunch cook and dog groomer on weekends. I have MS- it will never have ME. I would love to meet people who understand the embarassing stuff about MS that my friends ubderstand cause they knew me before, but are hard to explain to new people- like why I can't go anywhere without mapping the rest stops and such. Talk to me, I definately am good at getting a laugh. Usually on purpose, but no guarantees. My web page is catsmeow.cweb.co.nz, mostly my dog and cat, and friends- not a lot of ME there. All the better. Laissez les bon temps roulez! =^-Y-^=

Pats lives on a South Carolina beach with her husband and two beautiful doghters (yes, you read that right):Tara (pictured with her mom) and Bucky.

In IRC you'll recognize her by the DOG in her nick; she's usually either CuteDog or BeachDog.

Lanni's daddy is Mike. Mike is 23 years old. I really like #msfunchat. It gives me a place to go to talk about the problems that I have with raising Lanni. The people here really understand what I'm going through. I have had a lot of support here and I love every minute I have spent here. I am an elementary education major and will graduate in May from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. I love cats, unicorns, purple, email, and the internet. Lanni will be three on October 18. She has a wheelchair that she uses quite efficiently. She is starting to use her braces and walker to learn how to walk. This is a great accomplishment considering her doctors said that she would never walk. We are really proud of her.

I am female, 38 (and not getting ANY older), married, two WONDERFUL boys age 17 and 15. I live in the beautiful East Tennesee countryside, in Oak Ridge Tenn, the "secret city". I was/am a Nurse even though at present I am not working in the "real" world. I am a resident nurse to my friends on irc, and a very good nurse too I might add :) I havent had any complaints about my skills, and I am always on call... just ask DrTech..or any of my patients :) I came to irc, purely by chance, have taught myself about pc's since I have been at home, and I have had some very good teachers and enjoy learning about both pc's in general and irc. I have met in person several of the people I chat to on irc, and they are just as I imagined them to be. I have a new sister, thanks to irc and I love her dearly, as I do my special friends that I have found, each and every one must know how much you mean to me, you are wonderful, and I love you for all you do for me. Now for a pic, well I had some, but when my puter died earlier this summer I lost them, so a pic will be coming, first I have to find one that I like.. rofl then scan it.. that should be easy, I hate all pics of me..
Kerry		Hi Kerry, or Kezzer to my friends, here. I live in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK and work as a Civil Servant. I have had to reduce my hours though to try to cope with the constant tiredness that I seem to have these days. I am 43 and divorced. I was diagnosed in '93 but felt my first symptoms in 87, I just thought my laces were too tight when my feet were numb! I have mild MS which seems to be RR but has never been confirmed as anything other than mild. I wobble sometimes when I walk and drag a leg now and then so sometimes use a stick. Apart from that and tiredness and pain no problems. So I know I am lucky but it doesn't stop me moaning, sometimes. I love my cat, music, my computer and the links to the rest of the world.
Kibby		Peter is a 58 year old, retired computer professional (programming, sales, marketing). First computer, relay-cam computer in 1956. He became a societal dropout in 1986, DXed with cpms in 1991. Although back and forth to Massachusetts (where born, raised, spent life and had summer home), moved to Florida to overcome MS related impediments, like cold weather, hills and stairs. Spends much time with Computer (see web site), Paints and friends on the IRC. . .
Koty		I am a 49+ female, divorced and living alone in the beautiful mountains of far western Maryland (yes, there is a lot more of Maryland past Baltimore!!!) with fdog, my constant pain in the a** companion, whose special talents are appreciated (???) by all who know him. I was diagnosed with primary progressive MS in the summer of 1972, and retired from my job in Washington DC as a research chemist with Uncle Sam that fall. Would you trust an MSer with double vision in a research lab with all those instruments and chemicals? hehehe After a series of personal and professional changes, including two marriages and divorces, I ended up back in my home area with an additional degree in accounting, working as a paralegal and accountant for a small law firm. Fifteen years followed, and I again retired - this time for good - and now spend much of my time on my computer, talking to my friends and playing an endless series of games. I am determined to live my life doing everything I possibly can, so try to travel and see as much of the country as time and finances permit. One of the real joys of my life has been the opportunity to get to know my cyber-friends, and the trip to Connecticut and the chance to meet many of them for real was one of the highlights so far of this whole experience. The people I have met on IRC are truly the best friends I have ever made, and I love each and every one of them.

Now that MS has taken away her oilpainting and other activities, she spends time talking and meeting with people on IRC who have become very special friends and a newly found cyber family. She has met many of her friends in person and the warmth that she feels on irc is even deeper when meeting in "real life". Highlight of this year was meeting her fellow BRATS in Connecticut (and you know who you are!). She is a firm believer that "laughter is the best medicine".

Rob		I'm Rob, dx'd in '96 with PPMS.  My new doc (Ken Lo) at the Veteran's Administration changed my dx to secondary-progressive so he could prescribe Copaxone, which is is not allowed for PPMS people.  Whatever.  Now I'm covered with red bumps from the Copaxone shots - Dr. Lo says to ignore them.  Another whatever - they itch.  I'm now divorced, living with cookie, her son Aaron and Max, the world's fattest Labrador Retriever. I (we) will cook anything - challenge us!

I love horses, the ocean, and of course writing poetry whenever given the opportunity. I have recently been honored by being inducted into the International Society of Poets Hall of Fame. I especially love my three children, Justin who will be going to college in the fall, Heather who will be taking cosmetology in VoTech in the fall and of course my little "Wildchild" Tyler himself who is a very, very active 3 yr old. I love my friends also on channel and truly admire them for the wisdom, courage and friendship they have shown me. They have shown that friendship knows no boundaries, is selfless and is truly a gift that one can cherish a lifetime. Friends are definitely a present you give yourself, and I am so very lucky to have found all of you.

Wexler		Hi it's Teresa aka wexler! I found IRC about 6 months after I was diagnosed with MS. I had my first major attack on my boyfriend's birthday, July 22, 1995. So needless to say I won't ever forget that date again. I am the resident IRC dentist also. I practiced in East Tennessee for 16 years in private practice until November of 1995. Now I give out free advice and everyone still says they hate dentists, while all along I thought it was just because they had to *pay* for my advise. Now that it's free they still don't like it, just ask Techie or patti`!!!!!!!! No wonder dentist's have a complex!!!!!!!!! I now spend my time with my boyfriend of 4 years, Dick Pleasant and we have a new addition to our family a precious little (well not so little) Ragdoll Cat, Misha. She is so pretty and so much company. "A Home without a Cat is just a House!" Dick has 4 children and 8 grandchildren so things can get quite hectic when the kids are home! That is little Kalli Tucker in the photo, she has Cerebral Palsey, and is a little angel from above. I love spending time surfing the internet, and learning more and more about computers, as my first one was after my diagnosis. The friends I have met on IRC and in the internet Forums are the very best friends in the world. I have met several and they are the best of the best!!!! I look forward to meeting more some day soon. Hope to see you soon in MSFunChat and if you want to see a picture of my Misha check out my little website and her two pages are there. It's a freebie and I don't have much space so don't expect much!!!!!!!!!
WildWoo	No pic? Awwwww	36/F/cpms DX: 5/85 54yr.old female. just transplanted from the frozen north to Houston, texas.(good move) I was dxed in 90 when a set of strange set of complaints drew me to a hospital bed. 2 years later it was ms to chronic progressive. I then moved from Florida(worked for Walt Disney) to Maine. I had some relatives there. Well, that move was good at the time but after a year, I knew I was isolated and stuck at the time. Dizzy Mouse rescued me by inviting me to live with her(great move). Now I am out all the time. I also feel much better and my cat Smokey really loves it here too. So I'm a transplanted New Englander, to being a Texan.
