Sally

My name is Roni Lynn Lovelace (aka. Sally) ..  Mother of  4 Children  & 1 Angel in Heaven( My Beloved Joel David )  .. Having had a partial hysterectomy in 1997 i was told that in a year or so I'd Start going thro my Change of life ... So In 1999 when I was experiencing several abnormal things in my body , I figured wow It's started ...   Constantly Tired  to the point I had to sleep all day long in order to have the energy to go to work .. I couldn't see out of one of my eyes one  I went to the Eye Doctor , And he asked If I Had A Diease I said No  .. He Kept Me off Work for a couple days . I later learned it was Optic Neuritis . I continue to work having problems with My Menory , forgetting things that I had Known for years & having to be reminded daily ...Stumbling & falling over things on a regular basis! Numb tingling in my face .. so I went back to the Doctor & he Started a series of Blood Work to establish weither it was my change or not .. this Continued for Approx. 1 1/2 years .. I was so frustrated because there was no sign of this .I then changed Dr.'s and I was Treated With a variety of well wishes and told to drink protein drinks ! After about 6-8 months of this and Nothing Was changing but only getting worst.. I left & then In was in Aug. 2002 I couldn't go to work so many things & no answers , I made an appointment with another Doctor .. As he came into the room I proceeded to fall Apart and tell him I thought I was Crazy , cuz I had been under Doctor  care for so long & nothing seemed to be wrong .. He looked at me and said You are not Crazy and We Will find out what's going on with you .. After Several Tests ,  Blood work , EEG & then An MRI .. I had my Results ... He Said I can't Tell You officially because I'm not a Neurologist but you do have MS , Wow I thought the World Stopped .. No Way .. Not Me .. He made an Appointment with a Neurologist , after he performed a Spinial It Was Definate .. He told me I have MS  and But me on Rebif Injections .. I was on Rebif from  October 2002 -Nov. 2004 .  And I stopped .. Rebif did not work for me as it doesn't for all people and I was Sicker on so I figured If there Is no Cure for MS , Then I'll at least have a better quality of life ( Or so I thought ) Since that time I have gone to 2 other neuro's ... Last Nov. 2oo9 was on Nothing for my MS .. I Came To People With MS , And As I Listened Asked Question's & Researched  I was so then Ready To Take my Life Back !! Set Up an Appointment at A Well Known Neuro In Lower Michigan ( I Live In Northern Michigan )This is my 4th Neuro  And Hopefully my last ,He Reviewed My MRI's & Performed His Own .. Put Me On Copaxone In Aug. of 2010.. I had an Appointment as of last week , no Severe Reaction's & so I'll continue on Copaxone .. I'm Ever So Very Greatful For People With MS , As My Life Is Being Re-Gained Thro The Love & Support I've Received .. Making Me A Better Mother & Woman  I do still walk So I'm Very Thankful for this Fact ... And Have A Message To Convey , Education Is Sooo Very Much Needed & That People In this World will Understand !! Knowing Is Half The Battle .... To Be Continued !!  Warm Wishes To All For The Very Best You Can Be ...... Sincerely , Roni-Lynn Lovelace (aka) Sally   :  )
