About Me
I had symptoms for a few years (some tingling, fatigue, and memory problems). Then, one morning in Sept. 2007, it seemed like there was a veil over my right eye. When my eyesight continued to worsen I was hospitalized for IVSM, and I got my diagnosis of MS shortly after. My MRI showed that I had lesions, and my LP was positive for O bands. I am happily married. I have four children (one son, and three daughters). I also have a lovely little grandaughter. Another grandchild is due in July.
