Hello and welcome! You found a great site! I know that it has really helped me in my darkest hour.

You know, this darn disease affects everyone differently, so you never know. I felt like crap for years before I was diagnosed, but it also took me not being able to breathe in order to truly admit that I had a problem. That was the scariest time of my life. Granted, it took a long time to finally get to that point (in fact, my face was frozen in December - frozen) ...........

I was scared all the time, but talked to my neuro and he assured me that the breathing problems (in my case) would not hit like an ashtma attack. In fact, he said that I would feel weak, tired and all of my other symptoms would appear before I would have problems breathing again.........I took great comfort in that!

Are you OK? How are you feeling?

Hang in there!
