 Thirty years ago, I was diagnosed with MS in the United States.
It was a sheer relief to know that I was sane and not dreaming all the telltale symptoms that subtly present; they had a name, and I could get on with my life, living it to the
full, now grabbing every chance that came my way.
I'm a laboratory technologist married with 3 children, all now overseas.
I drive a car with hand controls, which is essential for my freedom. I swim 1km three times a
week and do yoga to maintain fitness. I play bridge and teach English as a Second Language to keep the neurons sparking, in fact "life is a breeze"; but you have to work at
it.
