About Me
I grew up in central Wisconsin. And have lived in NE Ohio since 1988. My first symtoms were foot drop, and lower back pain in May 88. I was diagnosed in June 0f 1989 after having an attack that gave me optic neuritis, loss of balance (I would fall to the left). My wife of 16 years was diagnosed with MS recently.(grew up 2miles apart). I have a 13 yr old daughter who now has about a 20% chance of "catching" MS "Don't ever,ever, ever Quit" Winston Churchill
