Only 18 and Living with MS

by Stephanie
(Pueblo, CO)

I am 18 years old and was recently diagnosed with RRMS. According to my neuro, she says I have had it since I was younger. I have lesions on my brain and they cover my spine.

I mainly have a tingling or buzzing in my hands and feet and I get frequent migraines. I lose my balance at times and can also be forgetful. I am still working on recognizing my most common symptoms.

I'm still working on getting treatment. It is complicated with the insurance companies. It has placed a turn in my road of life.

Going off to college was my main goal as an 18 year old and it still is but I have to be more aware of what I am doing. I do not want to have a flare up while away at college.

My MS has luckily not progressed into something as severe as what other people have. For the most part I can live my life as normal while taking some precautions for my health. Fighting MS will make me stronger!

Read your post this morning regarding your recent MS DX. I've had RRMS for almost 30 yrs, and have learned so much about staying in remission, (10yrs now). I use as few drugs as possible. I now only take one drug specifically for MS & cost is below $100.00 per month.

Have never done steroids & have developed an alternative method which works. Several key nutrients, careful diet & regular exercise.

Complete details may be found online @ my website...MSalternitiveFIX
