Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Relapsing-remitting MSI was diagnosed in July 2004. I had been working as a Physical Therapist at a hospital in Newport News(about a 20 min drive). You would think I would have known I had MS but my symptoms were so vague and so like so many other symptoms of other diseases, I did't have a clue. My cognitive deficits were so great I actually thought I had Alziemer's and was relieved to find out it was "only" MS. My husband was the one who diagnosed me on Fri.July 23 2004 when he took me to his work and did an MRI.
