Fatigue, brain fog and zoning out are my persistent difficulties. Lower back spasms come with prolonged walking or standing.

Creative Writing, Exercise, Party Planning, My Yorkie, Drawing, talking to my best friend and hanging out with my DS family.

Support Groups
Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Relapsing-remitting MSI was diagnosed with MS April 1999, one week after a route canal. The first symptom was loss of sight in the right eye. For 7 years, I lived with it well, until March 2007. I am currently living with my family in Mississippi, no longer able to drive, suffered more cognitive impairment more than anything. It sucks because I had been writing a novel since early 2006 which has been on hold now.

Treatments
Open Depression
Type: Seasonal Affective DisorderRecently went through a sudden life change due MS progression.
