Hi I'm Michelle Kaufman when I started in High school I develop migraines and went to neurologist he treated me for migraines after awhile I started with blurred vision and falls and numb he sent me to Presbyterian Plano hospital I was there for 2 weeks and they ran tests Feb, 2006 they diagnosed me with MS. I was very upset and deviated I had MS, I was dog sitting working at a vet, which I still do now but its hard to deal with having MS and a learning disability, but I stay active positive and do not let anything get in the way of disability. I have been diagnosed 1 year 1/2 . My family and friends and everyone has been very supportive and helpful. I have a cocker spaniel Honey who keeps me going everyday. I still live at home with family. I'm 28 single. I volunteer at hospital and soon starting to volunteer with NMSS. By the way NMSS and all MS organizations have helped and are perfect. I'm lucky to have such a wonderful support team, I truely appreciate all that they do. I take my dog honey for a walk every morning in neighborhood , I sometimes use a walker, When I was diagnosed with MS I was not getting out much but I was unsure and worried something would happen, But I then realize now that there other people with MS and other diseases it's better to be active and get out rather staying at home feeling sorry about myself and I also realized there are better days then others. I heard from my friend go out and move on with life don't let this bring u down, go out there live your life achieve your goals and accomplishments. He said u can do it as long as u have a positive attitude and do what u love to do helping others and animals. I have followed his advice and I am volunteering and working and staying active positive and having a great attitude You can do anything u put your mind to. Follow your dreams and goals. My goal was to find a job and friends and man, I have all my goals met. But I'm still looking for Mr. right still. working on that one. good luck to everyone. |
