More About lf in nc
I've been married for 24 years and am the mother of an 19 year old daughter who is now a sophomore in college. I'm still trying to get used to not having her around the house. My symptoms started with tingling and numbness in my legs. After a few days and the feeling moving into my trunk, my doctor sent me to the ER one afternoon. I was diagnosed with MS that evening. A few days later I was unable to walk and couldn't feel my legs. Luckily, after a week of IV steroids and lots of other oral steroids, I got the feeling back in my legs. My main symptoms currently is left arm pain. I feel very lucky that I regained the ability to walk! I'm still getting used to living with MS but I have a very positive outlook on everything. I think that helps tremendously! Things could always be worse.
