    • About Me

      43 years with diagnosed MS. i live with my ex, we are best friends. i have a daughter and 4 grandchildren, a son and 5 more grandchildren. our home is in southern mississippi. i have made friends here where i live. but, they filtered themselves away when i got ugly and stupid. there's just times i need someone to talk to. that's why i came here to people like me, hoping to find understanding and some support.
