About Me
I grew up with my mom, just the 2 of us. She was diagnosed with ms when I was 4. I always read that ms was not hereditary, so I never was worried. I was diagnosed myself in jan. 2001. I was wrong, it IS genetically susceptable I had a 2% chance of getting it they said. That is my wonderful history with ms. I am happily married, with no children. I would love to have them somedsy, but my doctors suggest waiting until I get my ms under control. I agree, but it sucks for me and my husband. I feel lucky that he would even want to have a child with me, but the time will hopefully come!
