Coming full circle

Hi everyone hope you are all keeping well anyway I have a story to tell you that may I hope give some people here a bit of hope. Anyway here it goes. As you may or may not know I was diagnosed back in November but a year prior to that I was constantly doing overtime because I wanted to achieve a dream of mine and that was to travel to Dallas to see WrestleMania live in 2016. Things were going well for it and I was so excited but then in December 2015 I started experiencing symptoms of MS. I brushed these symptoms off for a long time and I got through Dallas and had a blast but in Dallas I was an absolute wreck. I was exhausted, limping everywhere, had no use of my left hand, had no feeling down the left side of my body and just downright miserable and think deep down I knew the trip never went well which is why I wanted to do Orlando the next year. Unfortunately after getting diagnosed with MS I got put forward for Lemtrada and the treatment clashed with the trip so I had to cancel it which still irritates me to this day. So anyway after 2 rounds of Lemtrada; no new lesions appearing or relapses; all my blood work looking fine and spending the better part of 3 years coming to terms with MS and getting control of my depression and anxiety; I decided that it was time to make up for it all and I'm happy to say that this year I managed to go to New York and attend WrestleMania. I honestly had one of the best weeks ever and even though after 2 weeks off from coming home, I'm still absolutely exchausted from it all. I know I still have a constant battel with MS and I still have a long way to go when it comes to Lemtrada but I genuinely feel this has been in the end of one journey and a whole new journey has begun.

marcyg921 very uplifting story for a Friday. A number of things here, I lived in the States for 7+ years and visited 32 States, a lot of time spent in Dallas but New York was my assemble plants location, so I know how exciting these places are and am happy you got to see them. After much thought and indeed reading the post on this site, I have made an appointment with my MS nurse to book a time when I too will go on Lemtrada, I feel this may be the right time, we will see. Wrestlemania, well I know little except my Son love the Ultimate Warrior and the rest , no doubt things have changed!! www.wholesorts.com is my monthly blog, have a read and I wish you good health for the future
