One of the physical therapists that's been working with my mom and her broken shoulder (btw, she was declared HEALED today by her doctor...yay!) told me his cousin was diagnosed with MS about a year ago. She's 17. She'd apparently been having symptoms since she was about 7 or 8.

Her neuro told her she was the youngest MS patient he's ever seen.

Blew my mind when the PT guy told me that. I cant imagine being that young and being told you have MS. Apparently her MS is really bad. PT guy told me his cousin is already legally blind now and she walks with a limp (and possibly a cane)

I really hope that I see a cure in my lifetime. (would love for the cure to be the liberation surgery) I really hope I see a cure for MS before I become disabled.

I dont expect that to happen tho.
