Hello fellow MSers! My name is Jil (yes, one "l", that is not a typo) and I discovered MS World a few months ago but did not post an introduction. I am 50 yrs. old and I was dx with RRMS in '97. I have lived a pretty active life (raised 6 kids, taught PE) until 3 or 4 years ago when I progressed to the point where I had to quit my job and became less active.
My hubby (of 31 years) and I are now grandparents to 4 (and 1 more on the way) and since all of our children live nearby we get to see them quite a bit (I joke that I am a stay-at-home-grandma).
I am thankful to have a very supportive and helpful husband, but I struggle with figuring out what I am supposed to be doing on a day to day basis.
I recently began attending a Bible study and have been able through that to make some new friends, including a woman like me who has had MS for pushing 2 decades!
Oh, and I should mention that I have an older brother who also has MS. He and I recently went on a failed Tecfidera "journey" together - lol!!
I have been happy to join MSWorld - it has been a valuable source of information. Even though I have had MS for a long time, in some ways I feel like I am just starting to realize what that means
