WORKING AND LIVING WITH MS

by Brian
(Mpls, Mn. Anoka)

TILL I HAD TO QUIT WORK...

MY STORY IS PRETTY COMPLEX.
I AM 49 YEARS OLD (AND) ABOUT NINE YEARS AGO I STARTED WALKING WITH A LIMP BECAUSE OF MY LEFT LEG. I WENT TO THE DR. AND I NEEDED BACK SURGERY. I AM OR WAS A TRUCK DRIVER, AND I NEEDED TO LIFT AND LOAD CARGO.

IT STILL WAS GETTING TUFF TO WALK PROPERLY AND DO THE NORMAL EVERYDAY TASKS PROPERLY. THE BACK DR. SENT ME TO THE FAMILY DR. WHO THEN SENT ME TO THE NEURO DR. WHO THEN SENT ME THROUGH A NUMBER OF TREATMENTS, OR TESTS TO THEN LET ME KNOW I HAVE
PROGRESSIVE SPINAL M.S.--AND IT KEEPS
GETTING WORSE.

I CANT WALK, AND LIVE WITH TERRIBLE DISCOMFORT EACH DAY. I DON'T THINK I WILL LIVE TOO LONG AS IT'S NOW IN MY BREATHING. AFTER ALWAYS WORKING AT TWO JOBS AT A TIME, I AM HOME AND CAN'T MOVE MUCH, BUT SAY TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH MS DON'T GIVE UP CAUSE I NEVER WILL.

BEST REGARDS,
BRIAN

Brian - I was feeling sorry for myself today because I cannot find a job with so many gaps in my resume; then I read your story.

YOU ARE A SURVIVOR!!! I can't imagine how scared you must be, but I can tell from your story how very strong you are and that has spoken to me. Hang in there and keep fighting!! That is half the battle with this disease -- how you handle it emotionally. It will add years to your life, I am sure.

I will keep checking on you on here and offer support whenever I can. Thank you for sharing your story!

Brian, just wanted to thank you for sharing your story with us. Also wanted to apologize for taking so long to comment on your story.

I sincerely hope you are doing well now. I'm sorry to hear that you were having so many problems with your MS. I know a few others who also have progressive multiple sclerosis and see how quickly they decline in health as well.

I admire the fact that you refuse to give up no matter what you are going through. Every moment of life that we live is worth living.

Thanks again for sharing.
