HI, MY NAME IF FELICIA. I HAVE BEEN HAVING SYMPTOMS FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR. SEEN MANY DRS WHO MISDIAGNOSED ME OR CALLED ME CRAZY. FINALLY I WAS REFERRED TO A NEURO WHO GAVE ME ALL KINDS OF DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.

STILL TESTING ACTUALLY AND HAVE NOT BEGUN TREATMENT. THEY FOUND LESIONS ON MY BRAIN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY 2 DRS THAT I HAVE CLASSIC SYMPTOMS OF RRMS. STILL WAITING FOR LAST 2 TESTS, EEG AND SPINAL TAP. I AM 41 YEARS OLD. HAVE 2 DAUGHTERS, AGES 24 AND 18.

I AM A GRANDMOTHER OF A 10 MONTH GRANDSON. MY OLDEST DAUGHTER IS A PROUD LESBIAN AND I AM PROUD OF HER. I AM A SURVIVOR OF CERVICAL CANCER, 3 BACK SURGERIES, A BLADDER REPAIR FROM A CAR ACCIDENT, VIRAL MENINGITIS, H1N1 AND NOW THIS.

I HAVE FAITH IN MY LORD TO GET ME THRU THIS AND CONSIDER MYSELF A STRONG WOMAN. I HAVE A GREAT SUPPORT NETWORK HERE AT WORK AND AT HOME. MY PITBULL, MALA GETS ME THRU MY EPISODES BY SLEEPING WITH ME WHEN I CANNOT WALK. I WILL BE JOINING AN IN PERSON EMOTIONAL MS SUPPORT GROUP LOCALLY SOON.
