Hi
The first I noticed anything was wrong was in August 1967. Then lots of things were wrong. I saw several doctors but nothing was wrong. In those days they did not diagnosis MS until you had several remissions. By that time you knew you had a very vivid imiagination to come up with so many problems. I was a special education school teacher. There is something about having something wrong with yourself that makes it lots easier to understand problems of others. That made it a great help in teaching Special Education.
In 1969 I had left mChicago and was living North of Chicago. The school Nurse suggested I see a neurologist in Elgin, Il whom she thought was real good. I saw him and got a Diagnosis. It felt so good to find out I wasn't crazy after all.
I saw him for about 10 years. Then I just stopped. They weren't able to help anyway.They didn't know a lot about MS at that time and the only treatment was ATCH. I had many exerbations and remisions. When I went into remission I never went back to quiet as good as I was before but it was better.
Now I haved completely lost my voice and have a lot of trouble breathing and eye problems. I see a neurologist today to see if anything can be done about that.
I know I've rattled on a long time so I'll see you allo later.
