Completed Stratton/Wheldon regime for aggressive secondary progressive MSi in June 2007, after four years, three of which intermittent. Still improving bit by bit and no relapses since finishing treatment.
I have a 5 year old collie now. His name is Zeus. He is black white and tan. They are great dogs.
sjogren's diagnosed 2/03, 200mg minocin daily, mwf zithromax, flagyli every 3 weeks.
Still not sure how to post replies, but ... Odhilda, what a beautiful picture -- Sweden??? -- your Olga is beautiful and the landscape equally so. Thanks for the uplifting shot.
63 year old woman who feels like 100! CFSi since 1998. Main problem -- severe fatigue with "going into shock" feeling very often. Tested positive for CPN 3/07. Severe reaction to azithro (begun slowly in 5/07) - had to stop. No abxi yet --
63 year old woman feels like 80! CFSi since 1998. Severe fatigue and awful reverse sleep main symptoms. No Fibro. Tested positive for CPN 3/07. Severe reaction to azithro (begun slowly in 5/07) - stopped.
You made it Denise! Yes the picture is from Sweden, not far from where I live. This is how it looks near the creek, but most of the landscape here in the middle of Sweden are almost inpenetrable forests with scattered small lakes. I like the forests too but I need flowing water to feel really good.
My Olga has been in heaven for almost three years now. I am absolutely sure I will see her there one day.
If we sometime in the future will have a dog on our own again it will be a collie, like Olga, both my husband and I wish that.

Oh I am so sorry that you no longer have Olga with you. I am so sad about that.
I've had my share of cats and dogs who have gone to the next world. And I still think of them.
I wish you could have another dog now.
When I rescued Chloe -- I did not feel I could adopt her as I had a male cat (my baby Busta) who absolutely did not like other cats. But I did adopt her and as Busta was getting older and was becoming ill (sadly) he really didn't bother her.
When he died three years after I rescued Chloe, I was so glad I had her. Amazing how fate can sometimes step in and help us.
And now when things get to be overwhelming, I just bury my face in her fur and cry and it doesn't seem to trouble her a bit. I just pray I can make some money soon so I can adopt a second cat -- she loves other cats and I would so much like to do that.
barks and meows,

Denise, I have a part -time dog now. Just go to the image gallery and find "Holly, Odhildas half-time dog" and you will see!
Say hello to Chloe from me! And I hope you wil be able to get a cat-friend for her.

Odhilda -- I did see that picture of Holly and she is so mushy cute looking. BUT I want you to have your own, climb into your bed, always there puppy.
Chloe says "Meow to you too." I need to get better before I can work --I need to work to make money to afford a new cat. So that is the plan.
I tried to do online surveys, but they kept rejecting me -- the nerve. I guess if you a) are older than 50 (I'm 63), b) don't make much income, c) don't have lots of stuff like a car, big screen TV, belong to a gymn -- well, then you are not really their kind of respondent.
I keep hoping something will just materialize so I can work at home. I keep visualizing work coming to me.
