About Me: My journey began in 1994 with dizziness. After a MRI, Evoked Potentials, and Spinal Tap, I was diagnosed with MS. I then experienced numbness, weakness, spasticity, and optic neuritis. I used Copaxone for three years and then Novantrone. I stopped the Novantrone when heart tests showed some changes to my heart. Right now I am just treating my spasticity with Baclofen, and Carb Levo. I have walking problems so use a cane and a manual wheelchair for longer distances. I try to keep an upbeat attitude. I have a wonderful husband of 32 years and two grown sons and one daughter-in-law.
