About Me
My first husband, father of my daughters had MS. My youngest daughter, now 33 years old, has battled MS for 10 years. It was too unbelievable for me to have it also and I was in denial for quite a while. (my first husband and I are NOT related!!) His mother and his sister had/have MS also. I've lived with this disease in one way or another for all of my adult life!
