Here's my story!
It was a year and half ago, i had just moved into my new beautiful home and was super excited to decorate for the holidays!! I stepped outside to grab something and while walking to my car and suddenly my vision went double and then came my legs. They just came numb. I remember thinking maybe Its just simple or maybe I just had a tingling sensation and maybe I'll get better tomorrow.
Instead it got it got worse. I was weaker than weak, I couldn't walk and half my body was numb. I remember punching my legs to get circulation and thought now how am i going to get my coffee! In all seriousness I had no idea what was happening it new there was something wrong.
After four months of testing it came down to two things: brain tumor or MS but equally bad in their own ways. I remember my brother in law rooting for brain tumor because that could be fixed or cured. I was so worried but didn't tell anyone about what was going on other than a few friends and Alex in my family.
Then I got the call.. immediately schedule an appointment with the neurologist. I knew something was not right.
Dr. Bajwa sat me down and broke the news to me. I was officially diagnosed with Relapasing Multiple Sclerosis.
MS has changed my life.
I wasn't ready to tell my family- I had to cope and accept my new life. We also just had a big loss in our family with Chacha passing away that finally everyone was getting better and I just couldn't break the news to my family.
what I would give to be just half the person I was before I got sick.
To not have to be tired all the time, to not lose my balance stepping into a car, to not have to use the bathroom every five minutes, to be able to walk a mile without getting tired, to not worry everyday and might if I will be able to walk the next day or be able to see anything.
It's hard for people to understand what your feeling and experiencing because I look normal on the outside (with the exception of my weight gain but now I'm sure everyone understands why) on the inside my body is slowly giving up.
MS really does suck, can't perdict what's next and can't even predict the next five mins!
IM READY NOW - no more MSing around.
I want to raise money for a stem cell treatment in California that could help me get better. The success rate for patients with MS is high!
I know everyone has their own set of problems and probably worse than mine but I'm at my worst and I want to be normal again!!! I want to watch my niece grow up, I want to walk around my beautiful neighborhood, I want to have my own kids and be able to see them. I want to participate in this stem cell treatment. I would love donations to help me. Every penny counts.
no more MSing around.
