I am a 39 yr old female, an only child married to an only child, first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis on Jan 27, 2007 @ the age of 35. I can no longer work due to this disease. We have 2 children,(3 if you count our 19 n half week old Shih Tzu) son is 21 and daughter is 19.

My husband, children and extended family and friends are my biggest supporters and are what gets me thru each day, especially my husband.

Even though I wasn't diagnosed until '07, I'd  been fighting this since July of '01 which was when I had my 1st episode.

I love to read and cook. I'm OCD about certain things.

My favorite quote is " take life's stressful situations like a dog, piss on 'em and walk away!" Don't remember where I found that quote but decided that was going to be my motto in life from then on. Life is way to precious to be stressed all the time over things you can't control.

God first, Family second and everything else last!
