Great job, Keri! I think is also very therapeutic to put things on paper (and out of your head). I've always wanted to write a book some time too.

I was hit out of the blue too, with almost complete paralysis. The worst part though, I must admit, was the botched LP that landed me in the brain trauma unit for a week, while everything else was going on too.

I think my docs did me a favor by saying only that it might be MS at the time because after that first major attack, I did fairly well in denial for the next 12 yrs. There weren't any meds (except steroids) available then anyway, so why know . . . you know?

Can't wait for the next chapter!
