I'm just glad as heck that you got a clear diag. My story goes back to 2/2005 when I had a nuero incident that put be in the hospital for 4 days. Anyway long story short I went from a diag of MS to Parkinson's and now they've FINALLY nailed it down to Huntington's <-not good but at least we have something to address and manage. Good luck to you and hang in there. I'd like to see you do more stories other than weather. My selfishness coming out since I like your persona. Later, john Hey DollFace <- sorry, couldn’t resist

God has allowed this for a reason, perhaps He is using you to help others. May God bless you as you have blessed us out here in "fly over country", with your sweet smile, funny remarks and especially sweet heart. Many shut-ins will be watching you as your journey takes you through your illness. I don't think people will look at you with MS, but look at your spirit with an illness and see that they too can overcome the mental part of any illnes that drags their spirit down as you show them how. I see you as a very special person made even more special by your sharing your personal life with us. I do hope you blog about your illness as if you are talking to others with the illness, you are lifting them up as they see your courage, it will give them courage also. God Bless You Janice Dean our very special Weather Machine. Janice, I am just catching up on my reading and know that God only puts on us what we can handle.

As you, for many years I suffered with severe debilitating muscle weakness which only got worse to the point of near incapacitation. ALL the doctors missed the cause as many thought I had MS. As it turned out a hair sample (of all things!) showed the real cause as I had massive levels of mercury poisoning which was severely disrupting my nerevous system and muscle strength. Most likeley the mercury toxicty came from the mercury fillings in my teeth over the last 30 years. I have since being undergoing treatment for reduction of this toxic metal in my body and am making progress as it is very rough. You MUST get checked for heavy metal poisoning as it is a major contributor to MS. The doctors are completely unaware of this and never test for it, but you should. I am recovering as the mercury levels are being slowly reduced. Many people have this problem to some degree but not to the massive levels I had. YOU MUST check into this. Feel free to contact me at my email an I will help as much as I can. Janice,
Janice,

I too was diagnosed on 2/14/71 at age 31, almost and could go back 8 yrs prior on symptoms. I was divorced, had 2 sons 11 and 13, mortgage pymt but fortunately a good job. I have lived relatively symptom free all of these years with fatigue being the worst. I also have the numbness in the feet, both of which I've had since my diagnosis. Just want to encourage you to keep fighting, rest when you can even with your busy schedule. I am now taking care of my husband who married me in spite of ms both of us thinking he would be caring for me. During a quintuple heart bypass he suffered a massive stroke leaving him in a wheel chair with no speech and nothing usable on the right side. I have kept him at home as his mind is as sharp as ever, refuse to put him in a nursing home. Yes, this adds to the fatigue but keeps my mind off of myself. I have no help as we have been told we make too much social security and are not elgible. We live comfortably but I cannot afford the $25 and up rates that these places charge. I am able to get out on occasion for an hour or two to have lunch with friends but have to leave him alone which is very uncomfortable for me. I just celebrated my 68th birthday on 2/28/08 and am telling you my story to let you know there is life, a good life, after diagnosis. My "shopping" days are over but we will survive. And you will too. Good luck, you have been added to my prayer list. God bless you, Mary Lynn Lewis Dear Janice – thank you for going public about your ms.

The day you announced your engagement to one of NY's Bravest, I thought was just spectatular; especially when you lined up your standup to plant one on him on TV. Now you're married and a new challenge presents itself. I'm conviced, for reasons I will not list, that challenges are placed in front of us for a reason we may never know; they are placed on our shouders because few can bear the weight. I miss the weekday "banter" between you at Shep. Take care of yourself and those who love you will pray for you. Your husband is a genuine American Hero; God Bless him and all the smokeaters at his house. You have much to be thankful for. This challenge will be overcome by you only if you ask guide for guidance and be strong enough to accept God's response.
