I’ll Run Again in Heaven
This is an excerpt from my e-book about my life with multiple sclerosis. In the past year my MS has taken my balance and walking. But life is still good and with the help of the internet I’m making a good living.
When I finally went in to see a neurologist in 1991 I was unsure what the heck was wrong with me. I had blurry eyes when I jogged, numbness and tingling on the right side of my body, I was having trouble urinating, I wasn’t sleeping too well, I had a slight limp and a myriad of other problems happening to my body. What could be wrong with me I asked? It had taken me a year and a half to get in to see an optician and it would be another 3 months before I finally had the diagnosis I was looking for.
Believe it or not by the time I got my diagnosis I was actually relieved that I had multiple sclerosis! I didn’t know what course it would take but at least I had a name for all the symptoms that I was experiencing. I also knew that I didn’t have something more serious like a stroke, cancer, ALS, or any other “major” problem that can kill a person. I had been on a roller coaster ride for over 18 months wondering what was wrong with me but now I finally knew!

Excuse me, you were saying you didn’t have anything serious like a stroke, cancer… Where is your head? lol. I had a stroke 17 years ago and since then I have learned to walk,talk, read, write etc etc. I’ll be coming and doing some more reading here later on. That was a good article, made me laugh and think about other things I could be doing to a living.Thanks.Love & light to you.

Hi Jon,
I’m having some of the same symptoms but trying to get a diagnosis is almost near impossible. I can appreciate your “roller coaster.”
