Steve:

I am thinking of you on this New Year's Eve. How are you feeling? How are
you handling all of this? There is a *chance* that I have MS, and it is
something that I worry about. I try not to, but .... People on the
"outside" don't understand the feelings concerning this, in my experience.
When I have mentioned the possiblity of MS to friends I have gotten everything
from "Oh, my, that is so horribly disabling" to "my sister has a friend who
has MS and she is fine. No one can even tell. It's no big deal." I don't
want to hear either of those--I just want someone to act like they understand
my fear of the unknown.

Have you done very much MS research on line? I found an excellent site
several days ago. It is geared for MS, but was very helpful with my TM
symptoms, too.

Again, I am thinking of you.
