Since this is a Newbie thread I wanted to give a little background info. I have 5 amazing children, can't believe they came from me, and was diagnosed with M.S. at age 30. My symptoms started with a blind right eye, then progressively became numb from my toes to up to my chest all the way down. I figured I had MS and told me wife. She is great and I'm thankful for her. The MS I have is RR. My memory is causing me difficulties and I plan to reduce my private practice to working 4 days a week. I needed to get a wheelchair in the last two weeks because of right foot drop. I'm happy to read a lot of positive posts by people on NT. I love to read and play with my children. I was happy to have M.S. confirmed because it meant I didn't have a terminal illness. I thought it was a brain tumor because I've always had a very good vocabulary and keep losing words. I hope to enjoy coming here and all I can learn from you all.

Thank you,

Eric
