Good morning.
I was introduced to this site by another member here at a support group meeting a few days ago, and loving it. I am a single mom of a 14 yr. old son, and live near Ottawa, Ontario.
I was diagnosed in Sept. 2013 with what my Neurologist and I believe is SPMS. Although I've had attacks in the past....from flashing in the eyes, occasional numbness, to having Bells Palsy that lasted about a month, I still drive and am able to get around well (cautiously). For the last 3 weeks or so, I've started using a cane whenever I go out somewhere. It helps me feel more secure that I won't trip and end up on the ground. I prefer that, to hanging on to everything.
I'm currently not on any meds, but not in denial that the day may come. I think it's so important for us to connect with others who have MS. Feeling part of a group with people going through the same battles is so important for me.....for sharing info, stories, and hope. If I ever run into anyone struggling to find a place to connect with others who have MS, and they have a computer, I'll definitely tell them about this wonderful place.
Thanks for reading my story, and have a great weekend. See you in the chat room.
