       WELCOME back, Matt2!

       Matt, welcome back! Like darumadoll, you're among the earliest
       members of this board.
       I'll go ahead and delete the other registration for you
       here--the one I transferred over from the board's old format--if
       that's all right with you. Just so there aren't two user names
       for any one person.
       I checked the log in information for all of the listed members,
       and about 15 members have actually logged in since this new
       board opened (November 2013).  Others may have been reading but
       not logging in.
       Dave (Mr. Soul, Mr. Natural) died as you may know, and Cherie
       (lady_express_44) didn't like the new format and is active on
       another board these days.
       As for the other names on the member list, many are people who
       used to post here and might return. They were sent e-mails
       whenever possible, to let them know about the new board. Many
       e-mails were no longer valid, and so many people didn't get
       notified.
       I went to an MS support group and to sessions of an MS fatigue
       study being done at the local VA Hospital, and I made sure
       everyone there got an announcement about this board and its URL.
       A few of the newer names on the member list are some of those
       people.
       I'd appreciate any suggestions for making this a better and more
       user-friendly place.
       Matt, I look forward to hearing from you. :)

       This place is terrific.  I am off in my own world these days
       though, and am not reading about MS as much as I used to.
       I still have CDMS but I still have no MRI lesions, and my
       neurologist still doesn't know what to make of it...She hasn't
       seen CDMS but no lesions in many people with still no lesions on
       MRI after 14 years, but the evidence is far too great for her to
       accuse me of faking anything, so she doesn't know what it all
       means.

       Thanks for the compliment.  I realize that MS is a pretty
       depressing topic that a person doesn't want to dwell on very
       often.
       About your MIR results--there do seem to be people whose MRIs
       don't show MS lesions for years. I've heard of others like
       yourself.  They're still learning about MRIs and what they can
       reveal and not reveal, and most neuros seem aware that a person
       can have MS but no MRI lesions, though sooner or later  lesions
       are probably going to show up.
       How have you been doing? Are you able to do things you want to
       do and need to do?
       Are you still studying indigenous North American languages?
