    MS since June 27 2010

    I am 55 just recently diagnosed. My neurologist and I have been watching lesions for 20mo. But he thought it was scaring from migraines. My symptoms were memory, cognitive issues, and vision. Not until I got up to go to work and couldn't feel my left side was I diagnosed. Now I feel like I am in a nightmare. Since the relapse my fatigue has worsened and organization is off the chart.
    I have 3 adult children, 30,28,20. My husband died 3 years ago. My parents 4 & 2 years ago. To say I'm going through changes is an understatement. This outlet helps me. I have learned a lot from everyone. I am taking Copaxone. Hopefully in a couple more months I will see some relief.
    I like to read and scrapbook. Both of which I have had to slow down and not do so much. I am still working although I have missed 3 days in 6 weeks because of MS. Don't know how that will pan out. I am going to take a driving test with a disability trainer. Don't know when just soon. That might me the defining moment for me. Good luck to everyone out there with MS. I am going to forge ahead even if I am a little discouraged right now.
