Wow - been awhile
Last post was in May. I turned 43 in June, met a great guy and we live together now, have a black hole in my brain, irrespective of the meds, and I am progressive. I can add more later; now I have to go.
My name is Cristen and I am in my early 40's. I was diagnosed in 2008 with MS and my life changed in ways I could never have imagined. For the first 2 years I was in denial and went on as if it were "life as usual". Then I was given an opinion that was incorrect after a cognitive test. I was angry at the time but it turned out to be a gift. I am determined to continue on with my life. I will take the LSAT on June 7th and get the highest score I can to get into DU with the most scholarships.
I met my diagnosis with relief and dread; but now I know I can. I CAN!!!
