I am a 38 yr old from IL. I have 6 kids ranging from 8 to 21yrs old. I was dx April 7th 2009 after having vertigo, back problems, numbness and finally optic nueritis. All within a matter of a few months. But can look back atleast 4yrs at other symptoms. I have already tried Avonex and am now on Copaxone and they anded Cellcept as well. They say that my ms is being very aggressive and they have to be aggressive with it. They are trying to get it into remission. I was a service tech working on cars for a living before all this happened. I have to say it has overwhelmingly changed my life. My Dr. suggested I come here in search of answers and others that share my situation here in life. I refuge to just give up and lay down but I sure could use some help to hold me up. thank for any feedback, comment, suggestion, anything.....
