My sis - she turned 48 on February 18th. She was close to 30 years of age when she was diagnosed, and had no symptoms for two years. The symptom that led to her diagnosis was a bit of "fluff" on the end of her eyelashes that she couldn't get rid of. Of course, there was no fluff, it was optic neuritis, which is a common indicator of MS.

Acceptance of this has been extremely hard...acceptance, to me, has nothing to do with LIKING a situation...it is just knowing that what is, is.

I fought for so hard and so long...and I got enough calluses on my head from banging it against the brick wall that I had to stop.

I believe in a Creator and in Miracles, but my sister doesn't seem to be in line for one.

In any case, it's out of my hands.

Thanks, Lut!

I smile at your mom wondering why all the flags were flying when she was in the hospital to have you! Does she get teased about that?
