Question of the Week
What did you know about multiple sclerosis before being diagnosed?
For me, it was very little. I didn't know if it was fatal or not. I didn't know the prognosis, or that it affects everyone differently. I knew a few celebrities had it - Richard Pryor, Annette Funicello, Clay Walker, etc. - but I knew nothing about how they were doing. I was terrified of the unknown. But the more I learned about research and treatments, the better I felt.
Comments
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. If asked, I would not have been able to tell the difference between MS, ALS or MD. I was certain that I would be one of Jerry's Kids after being diagnosed and was disabused of that notion an hour later at the book-store.
