About Me
I spend my time trying to enjoy my life and ignore numbess, pain, etc. the best I can. I do not have a dx of MS because everything else has not yet been ruled out-and still have long waits ahead of me (& lots of money to pay where insurance falls short) for tests I am scheduled and waiting for. My sister was dx'd MS years ago (lives in a big city with more doctors) - and medicated - and still she is just one step behind in same symptoms I have accumulated over years. I went numb before her-then she went numb-I have bowel problems-she got bowel probs, etc. Wanting to know if it is WORTH it!@
