SHE WILL BE ABLE TO SHARE WITH OTHERS WHO SUFFER FROM CHRONIC PAIN.THEN THERE IS THE INFORMATION THAT SHE CAN REVEAL TO THOSE WHO ARE UNINFORMED .THIS WILL MAKE THE PATH OF PAIN BETTER FOR ALL OF US LIKE MYSELF WHO HAVE TO WALK IT EVERDAY.GOD BLESS,THOMAS
I think anyone with MS should openly share they have the disease and what symptoms they experience. Communicating is half the battle. I believe there are many people with the disease and they don’t know they have it. If information sharing could help catch a diagnosis early so many could be helped before major debilitation. I have Primary Progressive MS and I believe I had some form of MS for years and ignored signs and symptoms until I was diagnosed in June 2007. For years before, I was fighting some thing that was changing how I lived my life and I tried to daily cope with it.
Finally in 2005 I started seeing doctors to find out what was hitting me so hard. I owned and managed a very successful RE/MAX office in TX with up to 65 agents and I tried to keep going until I had to close the office in January 2008. My life as I once knew it was gone, but I am the new me. Day after day I learn more and appreciate more in a new and different way. I am blessed with family and friends who are trying to understand my disease and help me as they can.I also believe there is a higher power guiding my life!
