About Me
I was first diagnosed in 1993 with rrms and now have progressed to SPMS. My Dr still lists me with RRMS because Insurance will not offer the same coverage if I am officially SPMS. All I can say to that is Get Real. I get depressed somedays to the point that I just don't want to be here. Medication helps me but I take a lot. I am more and more behind on paying our medical bills and it causes strain in our marrage. I still work, I am 56 years old, male, and love my family very much! My one thought that stays with me and is totally unrealistic- I wish I didnt have ms! More…
