About Me
I am a 38yr. wife(of 14 yrs) and a mother of 2(Tesha = 16, & James Jr. = 12). When my son was about 2, I started with pain and spasms in my mouth(only left side), family dr. said (by phone cause he would not see me) TMJ. I later started having pain in my right hip & leg, ER dr. said SCIATICA, I got steroid shots. Then in early 1998, I got what the ER dr's called Bells Palsy(left face fell, slurred speech, etc) - I got the "Z PAK" but I still cannot smile on the left side. By Sept.98, I was having stiffness & spasms in my left arm/hand. I soon began with seizures, and I got "poss. MS"/3 dr's
