About Me
I am 37 years old. I was diagnosed with RRMS in January 2005. At the time of diagnosis, I was going through the first exacerbation that I know of. I was numb from my feet to my mid section. I could not feel myself use the bathroom, and I didn't have a clue about what was happening to me. I fell down one day and for me that is no easy feat. I am 6'3 and for me to not feel my legs and actually fall is a big thing. From what I can remember, I remember not being able to feel my legs as far back as summer 2004 but I didn't have a clue why.
