My name is Susan and I was diagnosed in 1992. I was originally diagnosed as remitting relapsing, but the diagnosis was changed to secondary progressive in less than a year. After a short period of rapid progression, to the point of needing a wheelchair, I had very little progression for 10 years.
In 2003, I had another period of rapid progression brought on by some other health issues. I have recently lost the use of my hands, which has been worse than losing the use of my legs.
The good news is I have an amazing husband of 25 years that has always been there and a great support system from the rest of my family. They have made dealing with this bizarre disease so much easier than it should've been.
I try to keep a sense of humor and count my blessings every day.
