Hi there, my name is Lisa, and I live in Reno. Nevada. I'm 54 years old, and I was diagnosed when I was 40, my worst symptom is my vision, which is really poor. I can't read a book or drive a car. I also have pretty extreme incontinence. Both urinary and fecal i also have some cognitive issues. And I walk with a cane. I feel really lucky because I don't have numbness. Tingling, spasticity, pain.
