About Me
In Feb 05 I came home from work numb from the knees down. After putting up with Dr's Daffy Duck and Donald Duck until 09/05 I saw a real Neurologist and was dx'd in 11/05 with SPMS. I am second generation, Mom had it, the dx said based on the 20+ years in the Navy and 10+ years with the Las Vegas Metro Police I must of ignored years of RRMS symptoms. I am an MS Ambassador and Activist for the NMSS Chapter of Greater Washington State. I start a new drug study program for Progressive forms of MS in 08/08 at Evergreen Hospital MS Center. The study is called Maestro. Had to stop Betaseron.
