A LITTLE ABOUT ME
MY NAME IS BECKY. I AM 31 AND HAVE FOUR KIDS. TWO OF MY KIDS ARE SPECIAL NEEDS AND THE OTHER TWO ARE PRETEENS (WHICH MANY TIMES MAKES ME WONDER IF THEY HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS).I HAVE JUST RESENTLY LEFT MY HUSBAND AND AM ON A JOURNEY TO START A NEW LIFE.
I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MS IN 2007. SINCE THEN I HAD GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I WAS BED DOUND, BUT AN AWESOME ER DR DECIDED I WAS TOO YOUNG FOR THAT TO HAPPEN TO, SO AFTER A EXTREME MEASURE FROM HER, I AM NOW WALKING AGIAN (NO NOT PERFECTLY, BUT WALKING). I STILL GET WORSE AND WILL PROBABLY BE BACK IN A WHEELCHAIR BY THE END OF THE YEAR, BUT I AM HOPING THAT MY LIFE CHANGES WILL KEEP THAT FROM HAPPENING.
I LOST MY HEALTH COVERAGE 2 YEARS AGO SO HAD TO GO OFF MY COPAXONE (ONE OF THE REASONS I BECAME BED BOUND) I NOW HAVE INSURANCE AND CAN GET BACK ON MY MEDS, BUT NOW MY NEW DR WANTS TO REDO ALL THE TESTS BEFORE HE WILL PUT ME ON ANYTHING. tHEY ARE SAYING THAT MY MS MIGHT BE AT A POINT WHERE MOST WONT WORK.
