Short Bio

I was diagnosed with RRMS in 2004.  I’m still RRMS after all this time. I have minimal symptoms, but the ones I have are quite bothersome.  Particularly the foggy brain and cognitive issues.  I have lost the use of my legs a couple of times.  I’m trying to live a healthy lifestyle (quit smoking, better diet, exercise, divorce) and I think it’s helping. I am able to work as a Medical Coder for a hospital.  Where I live we don’t have any MS specialists.  I recently had an appointment with a specialist in San Diego.  I am hopeful.  I try to foster an attitude of gratitude.  It gets me through the tough times.
