More About hi99ins
I cannot work permanently any more... I was shot in the spine at age 11 by an Air Gun pellet which fractured a vertebra and caused acondition called Juvenile Osteochondritis it hurt for about 2 weeks but I never wenyt to a doctor about it as I was in a boarding school.
Unnoticeable until I was 21, I had years of back pain 'til age 35. One day I got out of a hot bathtub and went downstairs to watch TV and I couldnt recognise the newsreaders even though I knew their names and had seen them a thousand times..After a visit to the opthalmist, he said I had Optic Neuritis. My doc referred me to a neurologist, after an MRI/Lumberpuncture, I was diagnosed with MS.
