    About Me

    Diagnosed with MS in March 2008. It all came on pretty suddenly.. woke up one morning with pins and needles in my legs/feet and hands... had a couple of MRI's.. blood work.. and a spinal tap. There were a bunch of lesions on my brain and spinal cord and my spinal came back positive for MS. I was in the hospital for 5 days getting infusions of steroids. I'm currently numb from the ribs down.. except for my knees. When I bend them it feels like my skin is way too tight there. I'm walking on my own now and trying to get back to 'normal' life - whatever that is ;) I'm still not able to drive.. which frustrates me... but I know it could be sooo much worse. I am started on Rebif a couple of weeks ago.. doing ok so far on that..

      I loved this and thought of you. Knock, Knock - I knocked at heaven's door this morning. God asked me...'My child, what can I do for you?' I said, 'Father, please protect and bless the person reading this message.' God smiled and answered... ‘Request granted'
