About TomR

I grew up in central Wisconsin, but have lived in NE Ohio since 1988. My first symtoms were foot drop, and lower back pain in May 88. I was diagnosed in June 0f 1989 after having an attack that had optic neuritis, and loss of balance (I would fall to the left). "Don't ever,ever, ever Quit" Winston Churchill

More About TomR


I am college educated and an Air Force veteran.  Because I was diagnosed with MS within 7 years of my discharge I qualify for VA  service related benenfits.  I am 60% disabled based on my current disabilities.  If you are applying for VA  benefits mention everything that MS affects, even the little stuff.  It can make a difference.
