blue sky background with sun and lourds - WELCOME TO MY MS FAMILY

Here is my story!

I was first diagnosed about 13 yrs ago. I’ve lost a lot in the process. My marriage is being tested every day, My MS has progressed in ways that I didn’t see coming. I’m turning 50 this year and I’m scared about my future. I don’t know who I am anymore. I’m stuck!  Every day I try hard to figure out what I want to do with my life and I pray that I`ll have an answer tomorrow. Part of me feels that I should do something related to MS, since I`ve been thinking, breathing and eating this frustrating disease. God help me!

 Wait a minute, He did this to me! Amongst everything else that I’ve  gone through in my life he just thought why don’t I give her MS and we’ll see how she deals with that! 

When I sit back and think about everything including my biggest struggle, MS, I feel that I’m getting stronger  and will be getting stronger day by day! What other choice do I have? The alternative isn’t to appealing.

Ciao,
