I was what should I say officially dx in 1984. For about 12 yrs. I was
going to drs. after drs. with so many problems. Some by the time I
got to the drs. would disappear. Called me a Head Case gave anti-dep. pills.
In 1984 I was getting the headaches worse more pain. One morning I woke up could not walk without help, seeing triple not double vision, numbness throughou body and dizziness.

Went to hospital. Was admitted after a few days of tests that were
never performed on me , Cat Scan, spinal tap and loads of blood work. They said guess what all the problems you have been having
are being caused by MS.
Great what is MS---Well I did find out fast enough what it was by mine and family research. No computers then.
Went blind in right eye, but thank god it came back. Walking was bad, but came back where I do not now have to use any assistance.
My eye vision is still the worse problem of the MS. Have the usual
batch of problems,they come on strong and then after sometime ease off. I have refused to go on any MS meds.after reading the side
effects and no guarantee of a cure. I have one medicine that some
drs. believe and some don't
FAITH
My beliefs and prays have gotten me this far and I pray that it stays
that way. I had a lot of PT now I do my excercises at home when the
body can do them. I take anxiedty pills when needed. Also take something for the pain. What has me upset now is my memory is
really playing with me. I am scared more about that.
You probably are wondering if my faith has helped me so much with the ms why aren't I doing better with my grief. I can't answer
that one because I wonder WHY myself.

Thank You for your support and letting me vent out this way.
