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 :
