About Me
I am a 49 year old Mothercraft nurse. I have been happily married for 28 years. I have two children. A daughter 26 & a son 22. I also have a new grandaughter 4 months. I have had MS for 20 years but have only Known for 1 year. I am feeling good at the moment but do have bad days. My simptoms are not too bad at the moment. I am doing the MS walk in June in Sydney Australia. I had my first simptom 20 years ago, a Dr mentioned to my husband that he thought it was MS but he kept it quiet. I had simptoms again last year & was then diagnosed. I think it was a good thing he kept it quiet!
