GGBEE
 MY NAME IS GINA AKA GGBEE.I WAS BORN IN WASHINGTON STATE DECEMBER 4, 1976. I MARRIED MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND JOHN, MAY 11, 1996. WE HAD OUR FIRST BABY RACHAEL, AUGUST 6, 1996, BUT SHE PASSED AWAY JUST TWO SHORT WEEKS LATER, DUE TO PREMATURITY. WE WENT ON TO HAVE FOUR MORE BEAUTIFUL KIDS SOON AFTER. TIMMY, JUSTIN AND TWIN'S, MCKAYLA AND MCKENZIE. WE MOVED TO ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, DECEMBER 7, 2001 AND HAVE MADE THIS OUR NEW HOME. IT WAS A WONDERFUL LIFE CHANGE FOR US ALL. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND STARTED BETASERON JANUARY 1,2008. WE CAN DATE THIS ALL BACK TO AROUND 1997, THE FATIGUE PART. I HAD MY FIRST BOUT WITH OPTIC NEURITIS IN 2006, WHICH DOCTORS TOLD ME NOT TO BE ALARMED WHEN I READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT IT, BECAUSE M.S. WILL POP UP. WHEN I READ THE SYMPTOMS OF THAT, I HAD QUITE A FEW ON THE LIST. MUCH OF WHAT I HAD ALREADY COMPLAINED ABOUT. I HAD AN M.R.I. WHICH SHOWED NOTHING, SO WE WEREN'T TOO ALARMED. UNTIL, ONE DAY, MY FACE FELT ON ONE SIDE, LIKE I JUST GOT OUT OF A DENTIST OFFICE WITH A SHOT OF NOVACAINE IN IT. AGAIN, ANOTHER M.R.I. WAS DONE AND I HAD A FEW LESIONS CONSISTANT WITH M.S. A FEW MORE THINGS WENT ON WITH MY VISION AND I WAS DIAGNOSED. I JUST HAD MY SECOND BOUT OF OPTIC NEURITIS JUST LAST MONTH AND WAS ON I.V. SOLUMEDROL FOR THREE DAY'S. I DIDN'T WANT TO ACCEPT THE FACT I HAD THIS DISEASE, UNTIL I WENT "BLIND", AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME AND THAT THE HEAT AND SO ON WOULD MAKE IT WORSE. HARD PILL TO SWALLOW. BUT, NO OTHER EXPLAINATION...... I PLAN ON JUST BEING "ME"....I WILL ALWAYS BE THE SAME MOTHER AND WIFE, WITH JUST A FEW MORE ACCOMODATIONS. MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS WILL "NOT", CHANGE ME...IT WILL JUST CHANGE THE WAY I MAY DO THINGS A LITTLE "DIFFERENT".... GINA.... |
