Hi Lisa.  I have MS and have had it for 12 years.  However, my youngest son was diagnosed in early Feb. and was gone due to complications at 27 in May 15.  Just 3 months later.  My daughter had it for about 8 years and asperated  in her sleep.  Now my oldest son was finally diagnosed but is already in worse shape then his brother who died at 27.  I personaly do not fear death.  Neither did my two children, how ever my son is. I believe it is because he has two son's who ador him and a loving wife. My children have watched me over the years and they are over joyed I am still here.  But they don't understand why there siblings are gone.  I have one other child who thank God dosen't show any symptons.  I am in bed 70 per cent of the time.  I sleep so much.  I do not understand why my children died so young.  I know age and the severity of it.  I just need to know so I can have my letters to each living child and my husband.  So that is my question Lisa.  I am 61 and am diteriating.  Looking forward to your response.
