About Me
Hey All! My name is Kate and I just turned 26 years old this past September. I was officially diagnosed right before my 24th birthday, however I have had symptoms since I was 20 years old :( One beautifully sunny 90 degree day, I woke up and fell back down. The left side of my body became paralyzed during the night. My left eye drooped and the corner of my mouth drooped. On top of this I had lost my balance and had double vision. After going to the hospital, they admitted me. Two weeks I was poked and prodded and finally almost 4 years later I was finally diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting MS
