About Me
Hi, My name is Kim. I was diagnosed with MS almost 3 yrs ago. I called my primary Dr b/c of numbness that I had on the rt side of my body & she sent me straight to the ER. The ER Dr did an MRI as told me he was looking for MS or a tumor. He came back after the MRI & told me right then it was MS. I was in shock. All I knew about MS was Montel Williams had it. I was sent to a specialsit that same week & he confirmed it. All my lesions were all the rt side. Since then the lesions have spread to the left side & my brain stem. My husband has been amazing through all of this.
