Hello. Just to be friendly. I was diagnosed in 2009 and have gone from walking,to a cane, to a walker to a wheelchair. I have chronic spasams ( which equals to pain) I have learned the hard way that you have to be an advocate for yourself, or doctors will steamroll over you. After two different hospitals and four different MS doctors I was fed up, but now I have a great MS doctor and a good general practitioner. It just took me ten years to get things right . I am 44and live in Central Kentucky. I now have Primary Progress Relapsing MS. I've been through the wringer! as I am sure a bunch of people have too. That's it for now.
