Short Bio |
I was diagnosed in 2003. It “arrived” in an abrupt way..one day I was fine, four days later I was found in ICU at UCLA. Ultimately the diagnosis was MS, possibly ADEMS. Eventually it WAS MS! I thank God my children were raised on their “own”. My husband has been incredibly supportive. My main currently is balance and cognitive problems. I can no longer quilt and can only read chapter books. I spend my days playing mind games, puzzles, and wishing I had my previous life back aging. BUT, that being said, I have accepted the diagnosis and am dealing with it to the best of my ability. I am on Betaseron and the disease really hasn’t progressed much. My neurologist said if he hadn’t known the UCLA diagnosis, it wouldn’t know I had MS. I AM VERY FORTUNATE!!!
