Hi my name is Sue, I was diagnosed on November 1st. 1988 A month before my 24th birthday. Happy birthday to me, well I am grateful because my son was just two years old and I worried that I wouldn't be able to enjoy him and I was so afraid to have another child but my daughter came nine years later and I was blessed to be able to enjoy time with them,
I've had a few hospitalizations in the beginning due to different symptoms then a few in the psych ward due to depression I didn't let that stop me from doing the best I could for my kids,
I've been on Copaxone for a while now I remember when we had to mix a vial of water with a vial of medicine before they had the auto inject, I don't like it but my doctor feels that it's a safe medication compared to the new ones that are out now.
I am now going through a divorce after 21 years of marriage but I believe it was the best decision I made, my daughter is 18 years old now and thank God she just graduated high school as an A student with an advanced diploma wow what a blessing!! She starts college in August and I could've asked for a more loving caring daughter then her.
Since my divorce I was hospitalized twice because of the stress and its physical effects on me, the heat and humidity here in New York has been affecting me so much, I've been stuck at home since last month because I can't walk or even tolerate the weather so that kind of depresses me because I love being outside feeling the sun on my face seeing friends, going shopping, walking even if I have to use my Cain, but I am grateful I know it could be worse
I know we all have our crosses to bear it sometimes I guess I need to vent because no one understands us like we do and I don't want to go back to the despair of depression, so that's why I'm here I'm usually very optimistic person but I guess I'm getting cabin fever sorry...
