I was diagnosed with MS almost 10 years ago. It is a shock when you first hear those words however, it does not have to be an albatross around ones neck. It is a much more common disease then many realize. As a matter in fact my Dr indicated that some people go through their entire lives without knowing they have MS. For me, I get my infusion treatments twice a year and make sure I stay active. I am very blessed, other then some fatigue and and hand tremors I really don't have many noticeable symptoms.
