My name is Missinda. I was diagnosed on September 27, 2012. Looking back on my records my neurologist realized I have had this for over 10 years. I also have narcolepsy so he was focused on getting that under control.
I am a single mom of three teenagers two are still at home. I go to school full time and graduate in May. I also work full time and raise my 3 month old granddaughter. My plate is way too full!
I went into an exacerbation last weekend, and it feels like my world is coming undone. I am so close to accomplishing some of my life long dreams and life was falling into place for the first time in a long time and then... I am so frustrated and overwhelmed by it all. It is to the point that I will experience something medically and look it up only to discover it is another MS symptom.
I have no family and no help except my children. actually only 1 of my children helps. One refuses to accept that there is anything wrong with me, and the other is autistic and I really don't think he gets it. My youngest daughter is the one stuck with it all and I feel so bad for her cause it just isn't fair for her to have to take care of me yet. So I feel very isolated and alone in this battle.
I know I will make it through it and that right now it is just harder than usual. I just wish it wasn't as hard as it is. I am normally a very positive person who doesn't let anything get me down. But, right now I am having a very difficult time being that person.
