Hi, my name is Christine and I'm a 44 yo mother of 2 girls. I was Dx 14 years ago this month, starting with a very bad case of optic neuritis, both eyes, when I was in grad school. Such a scary time, but I was ushered through the university medical system swiftly, went on to graduate, and it left me so grateful. I have always thought of my M.S. as a gift...because it reminds me of what I *have*, not what I *don't have.* It also made me look at everyone and realize that we never know what path another person walks. Never. Sometimes we guess, but that may not be remotely close.
For the past 14 years, I've gone on to be married, have 2 babies, been on and off interferons in the process, had exacerbations and steroid treatments, new symptoms, and one thing I *know* is that even after 14 years, I still have questions and don't always understand this disease.
I've been on this site, off it, life is crazy...I've moved a lot in these 14 years thanks to my husbands work! But I'm hoping to connect with people again. People who get it, who understand, who may share the same questions or have answers.
