About Me
Iam a 54 year old female. Moved to Ohio 5 years ago to be close to family. Was in totaly shock when dx, was never a sick person and always on the go. I am now stuck in home. Have difficulty walking. Both feet and legs are numb and have tinglys. Iam going to be trying the 3 days of IVSteroids and 12 days of predisone. If any one has any advice for me. I would be glad to hear it. Iam on Baclofin and Copazone for the last year. I was fitted with a foot brace on left leg. I now have drop foot. I try to keep positive but some days are harder than others,
