I am a 58 year old widowed since 1992 I have 2 sons. Bryan and Brad and 5 granchildren. I work a part time seasonal job. I was DX'd with MS in 2000, when I developed drop foot. I became very afraid but then snapped out of the poor me stuff. Since Bill died I was working 2 jobs taking little time for me and my health. Most of the time I was so busy I forgot to eat, I wasn't sleeping well. When I was told about the MS they said, stress from the unexpected death of Bill was most likely when the MS started. Since 2000 I started to take care of me!
