I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your cousin. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

MS is such a funny disease. It can be real active for a while and then slow down and then pick back up again. It's so unpredictable and you just never know what's coming next or what symptom is going to start up or stop.

Sometimes our brains rewire themselves and we're able to do things "normally". My right hand is severely impaired. According to testing, I should not be able to use it for much of anything. Apparently, I am 97% impaired with my right hand and I'm right-hand dominant. However, I use it just like a normal person for the most part - when the tremors are bad I can't do some tasks. So I do believe that our brains can rewire some things.

You have really had a tough time with your MS and I'm so sorry. I feel bad as you are so young, only a couple of years older than my daughters. I know this must be so hard on you being so young. I can only imagine what my girls would be going through at 23 and almost 22 and having MS. It saddens me to think of what you must be going through right now. I hope that once you get in to the new neuro they are able to help you so that maybe they can slow down the progression.

Hang in there Anya!
