About Me
Hi!!! I have RRMS, diagnosed in 7/2007, but have probably had it since the mid 1980's. And, with every exacerbation, I thought I was either run down, had a virus, or tell the doctors "I could not possibly have MS" when it was brought up. No one pushed me to get tested for it, so I just let it be. Until last summer when I had such bad numbness in my legs I went to the doc to get a referral for a physical therapist to get my "pinched nerve" (which I self diagnosed) helped. Lo and behold, after a normal back MRI, I was sent for a brain MRI. That's when all the fun started! :)
