Hey, my name is Des. I am turning 30 this year and was diagnosed in 2004 with Relapsing Remitting Ms. I am from Ca, originally from Northern Ca, but have lived in Southern Ca for almost 3 years. I have been on Avonex for the majority of my diagnosis. I was originally on Copaxone, but had an allergic reaction to it. Over the last year I have had an increase with symptoms and presence of lesions. Overall I do fairly well with managing my MS. I have constant tingling and numbness in my right hand and arm and spasticity in my legs and every so often vision problems. Recently I have started developing migraines after my injections.
My home life is simple. I'm a Montessori teacher, teaching pre-school ages 2 1/2-5 year olds. I love being a teacher, but it definitely wears me out by the end of the day. My boyfriend, Josh, and I have been together for 10 1/2 years. We have a 10 year old Golden Retriever and a 4 year old cat. We love Disneyland, music, movies, beer and being outside. Some of my hobbies include singing, amateur photography, gardening and finding ways to be creative. I love checking out the message boards on here. It helps me remember that I am not the only person dealing with this stuff. I would love to make friends.
