About Me
I was diagnosed in 1999 but my docs think I have had MS since I was 10. We just discovered that my primary lesion seems to be located in my cervical spine. I have a lot of symptoms indicative of spinal cord dysfunction. Like I have trouble walking. My legs are quite the showmen-they stop working, crumple, or start shaking at the most inconvenient moments...quite embarrasing really. I have a great support network and am very lucky in that regard. If I were going to describe myself ...hmm...try a crippled Mary Poppins. Spoonful of sugar and all that.
