Mother of 6 beautiful children; 3 boys and 3 girls; 3 of whom are grown and gone. Underwent thyroidectomy due to Hashimotos that developed accutely (was told it was due to MS) and ended up hypocalcemic after the surgery along with it.  Since the beginning of the diagnosis process I developed an accute onset of Horner's Syndrome which is how I was diagnosed with demyleination with unseen lesions around the 1st order neorons; my condition was progressed to 'probable MS' and I decided that I'd had enough of being poked, proded and being a guiney pig for the endless meds they were experiementing on me with.  I took my healthcare back to my pmc who treated my symptoms and helped me get my life back as much as possible.  I still have MS; but am able to 'deal with it' much better without external sources playing with my chemical levels.  The most important part of remaining healthy for me is to live 'normal and that I'm completely surrendered to God's will.  The days I can; I do. Those that I can't-I don't.  I don't fret; worry or fight it; I roll with it and I do not let it define me.  I don't tell strangers or others that I have it-I don't focus on it.  It is something that I have-it is not who I am.  MS-saved my life; it brought me out of the dark and was how I found my faith again...
