Determined, aware, refuses to let MS lead my life. I work part-time as a psychotherapist, I play the violin in a weekly chamber group. I have lost many skills for now due to MS, like skiing, hiking, and generally being physical in an athletic way. I can be have serious suicidal ideations when I feel terrible, but would never act on them, for I have three delightful children and a great husband. As the saying goes, it could be worst!
