    About Me

    I have MS, But MS DON'T have me!! Hello my name is Kriz, I am a 38 year old guy from NE Ohio, right on the shores of Lake Erie and the Border of PA. I work as a Correctional Officer in a State Prison, but am currently on sick leave after being diagnosed with MS in January of 2008. Still trying to figure out whether i can continue in my job and is also looking into gettig a degree in Criminal Justice so i have something to fall back on if it does not work out. I generally try to keep a positive attitude and always have a joke on hold, but have had some problems with depression and paranoia from some of the meds i'm on, something we are trying to resolve. I'm new at this and still have a lot to learn, but please feel free to ask any questions you may have, if i can help i will, and if you only need someone to listen, i'm here too!! :) Have a Fantastic day!!
