About Me
My name is Brian and I was diagnosed with MS on 10/05/2005.About six to eight months later it turned to PPMS.The neurologist who diagnosed me says he's never seen anybody progress as fast as I did.Since my diagnosis I think i've developed every symptom,plus some.Even though theres nothing I can do for PPMS I take it one day at A time.I try not to focus on it much,just my wife and kids.The thought of it being there is always in the back of my mind,but honestly what can I do about it.I was handed something that my Dr. told me would evntually blind and paralyze me.Like I said,one day at A time.
