I had to look up some of those terms.
Bummer.

Well, hell. You're the 3rd person I know with MS. Sorry to hear, Rob. But, at least you're still able to exercise and hike, etc. Just be careful with the overheating thing. Any chance you and Carmen will be moving? OK sucks for staying cool. Just sayin'. p.s. It's time you brought Carmen to a PG, too! Well, she came up to Colorado July of lat year. Took her to our usual camp. She had altitude sickness for 3 out of 6 days and STILL fell in love with it ;-). I think once all of the kids are done with schooling and settled, we are headed for Buena Vista or Gunnison :-)

I knew she had good taste! Gunnison gets pretty chilly in the winter, but Buena Vista is in the Banana Belt and stays pretty nice through the winter. And it stays cool in the summer.

I just saw this thread, and dang, wow. Obviously you seem to be hanging in there, I really hope to see this September at the Gulch. I'm glad you're able to finally start getting the right treatment! And yes, Gunnison and Buena Vista both seem like grand options.
Best,
- Mike

Starting the MS meds this morning and being monitored for 6 hours. One of the possible side effects is dropped heart rate.
So, I cracked up this morning when I got in the Jeep and the first song on the radio is Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crüe!
All good so far. One they're happy with the results, I'll be good to take them on my own and get the heck back into the mountains!
The medical team is going to wait 6 weeks and see if the symptoms get better before thinking about neck surgery for the stenosis. I'm very fortunate to have an awesome team of doctors.
Happy Friday y'all!

Just saw all this. Wishing you the very best with it all. It sounds like you are in good hands, at least.

Lost one - I'm sorry to hear this. Sounds like your team is the best! Love your spirit. Here's to healing, mountains, cool weather, and love peace and cheeseburgers.
