Sorry, to hear about your stroke. You know that's how I got Ataxia. It sucks you having so many problems at once. Believe me when I tell you I know how it is!! I just had a MRI weds. I'll get the results soon. But I also believe attitude will get go thru a lot.I finished my interferon treatments 2 weeks ago.I had to go 74 weeks on that stuff,it was awful. Glad that's over with!!! I hope with support from friends and Lisa you will have an easier time. Love and God Bless you and Lisa Michael

Hi Jason,
Haven't heard from you for awhile I hope all is well with you!! I know you are going thru different things at once like me. Sometimes it feels hopeless and at other times we know we can get thru it.I will pray for you and hope you will have the power to get thru everything with everyones support.I have faith Jason and I believe we will all be saved in the end! I'm always around if you want to talk and i can talk about anything I have nothing to hide. I just care about people and especially people with Ataxia!! We need to stick together for support because most people don't know what it feels like or what it does to you.
I have to have another MRI of the brain next week.I got my Ataxia thru a stroke and the Doctors think I might of had another mini stroke we will see,I feel just OK.It seems my symptoms are advancing right along. Good news is after 74 weeks of interferon treatments for Hepatitis C has now been over for 2 weeks now. That was hell let me tell you no fun at all.I thought it would never end!! I'm still very anemic so I took a shot of Procrit today($400.00 a shot).It helps boast the cell count. They will monitor me for the next 4 months for blood count. Another good news is i work for a School District and they just put me on Catastrophic leave and put me on full pay and they O.K.'d it for a year and 3 months to start with. Way too cool I was going broke I haven't worked since June 2009. They had to put me on half pay for 3 months first than go thru all my vacation and sick time first after that the leave kicks in with full benefits. That's full optical,dental,and medical.It took awhile but I live alone and when something like this happens it taxes one finances for sure.I was really not knowing how things would turn out I just trusted that everything be OK (thank god for credit cards). What a blessing that at least I got some good news it seemed like the only luck I had was bad luck for the longest time or I didn't have any luck at all. It's nice to finally see it turn around but I tell you i was sweating it big time. This also gives me time to get full permeant disability going it takes about a year to get it taken care of here it a very slow process. My doctors told me I would never go back to work and that they would fill out the paper work with notes and documents. So now I start a new chapter in my life I feel like this is my start of truly healing and just taking care of myself now!! We will see what life throws our way next. Jason have a great day and week,your American friend Michael"Bones"Jones

Hello Jason

Nice to know you.I have posted some photographs, which I hope give a flavour of me. I am animal potty. That said I fully understand people who aren't. Just don't have them and hurt them.
Before CA I led a very active life, now other than my Charity work, which is demanding, I don't do very much. It is now a case of what I can do, rather than what I want to! Frustrating sometimes!! Never mind, it could be worse.
You must tell me about yourself. I think you have had a bad time lately and I am sorry.
Take care
Carol

Thank you for the youtube idea. I think I've been engrossed with it for about 6 hrs. Yikes! So I guess thats what I really looked like before the walker. No wonder my Dad thought I was drunk all the time. Shame on him. I think we all have to be strong mentally and keep patiently pushig ourselves to get some coordination re-programmed in our heads. I'm just wondering, do you have pain? I do sometimes pretty bad but my pain pills help. Warm regards.........Tash

Hi Jason,
Glad your out of the Hospital.I hate them for sure! Sorry your having such a hard time.I know how it feels your stomach feels like burning hot pokers going thru them!! Hopefully they helped you out and I'll pray for a fast recovery for you. Wouldn't it feel good just to be normal whatever that is for awhile!! I can't eat anything spicy now and I used to. I'm glad we can talk openly and I enjoy that contact.It feels good to talk with people going thru the say shit. Most people like you said don't understand anything what we are going thru.It makes it easier to do it here in this forum! At least here we DO UNDERSTAND AND CARE!!! Take care Jason and talk back at you soon!! Michael"Bones"Jones
