I've read about the steam room/hot tub tests to worsen symptoms (seems sometimes that the summers do just this sort of "quiz.") I'm glad you're doing well with your wheels and that you can talk with positivity and humor-- I'm a big fan of both. I've also heard of the tall ships in the Hudson, and about a year ago my family and I did a little ferry ride to see the manmade waterfalls exhibit (one structure was built under the Brooklyn Bridge.) Cool! Thank you for reading and also commenting. It's nice to hear from you! Sincerely, Jen :) Hi Sefardisafran–

Went to my dr. and he neurologist, they dx me the "old way" in the steam room (I was almost passing out after 5 minutes) and the somatosensory tests, together with audio test proved I had MS. Was dormant for years awakening whenever I exceeded I had to PAY dearly for it! In 1990 became a daily problem and 1992 became Progressive MS, began using wheelchair at the mall etc, and was able to walk short distances with the canadian crutches until the falls began and I went to a wheelchair 7/24. I am happy I have good wheelchairs and they take me wherever I want to go. Sincerely, Sefardisafran I had my first attack on July 4th 1967 while watching the tall ships parade on the Hudson river.
