Gary, I want to thank you whole heartedly for your reply it was very 
insightful and relevant. I was seeing my GP (who died) and now I feel 
like I am between the "devil and the dark blue sea" (something like 
that). The GP I see says he can't perscribe or tell me anything about MS 
and the neurolgist doesn't wish to be bothered with minor symptoms 
especially since I have no insurance and it takes me 4 months to pay his 
bill. There is a clinic that I am going to look into I also have decided 
that it might not be a bad idea to go back into counseling. I wish I 
could see a male this time though. There are issues of impotence and 
power that are important and that I think woman are more tolerant of and 
therefore tend to minimize them. Anyway so far I have had no symptom 
relief and you are certainly correct about muscles. (I wish you could 
tell me more becos I don't understand the physcial dynamics). However, 
since one leg is almost completely numb I have been using the other to 
ambulate and now am starting to have terrible muscle spasms and pains. I 
don't know , at least for myself at this point, how to determine the 
correct amount of movement. I keep pushin although it has been harder as 
of late for my equilibrium of *off*. I am so dizzy. Been taking antivert 
but that doens't do it. Of all these little nasty symptoms it is the one 
that bothers me the most. Dizziness can reander me helpless and that 
scare me. pls keep in touch, Aaron
