    Life changed forever overnight

    By paule720  |  Posted August 13, 2012  |  memphis, 38135, Tennessee
     
    I was 29 years old. One day while sitting at my desk at my desk I experience back pain. i went to the ER, the doctor did an MRI which revealed I had MS but that wasn't all. The MS i had may have been developing silently over 10 years. It trigger something call transverse myelitis and permanently paralyzed me from the waste down. Since then i have an another attack which took a lot of ability out of my hands, and made me numb all the way up to my neck. This is a devastating disease, and it can attack anyone at any time, it is not hereditary.

    My life changed over night. I can not work anymore, and leading somewhat of a normal life is challenging. please support MS research.

    Thank you,
