That was over 30 years ago now, and I want you to now that I'm still doing OK. Yes I have better days than other, but I only gave up work 18 months ago, and that was more because of a cancer diagnosis than it was to do with MS.
Welcome again to the site; it's good to have you with us.

Koala77, thank you for your message (well in fact, thanks to all of you for your welcome messages, this site is just awesome.. sometimes we feel so alone with this stupid illness, disease.. whatever they call it). Anyways, I was going to say that my first attack was also brought on by childbirth, seems that many times trauma will bring on the first attack. I'm happy to see that even 30 years later you are doing ok.. but sad to hear that you are battling cancer.
