I am a fun loving, active and emotionally stable woman who never put all the various symptoms I was having together. In July of 2007, I lost my closest friend in this life to a horrendous work related van accident...and that caused what I see now as the first exacerbation. In October, as I was putting eye makeup on, I noticed that my two pupils were of different sizes. And since then the symptoms have been coming and getting worse. I had a repeat MRI in January and got the definate diagnosis of MS and needed to start meds.
