Viera and her husband Richard Cohen are featured in an article in AARP magazine. He was first diagnosed with MS in his 20's and is now Secondary Progressive. Excellent article in how they manage their life, what physical issues they face now, and how they have learned to live with MS. In it they talk about SPMS and the cumulative affect of nerve damage over the years. I found the article to be enlightening, helpful, and hopeful. The magazine should be available at your local library, from a friend or parent, or maybe even on-line.
Holiday greetings to you all and may your New Year be filled with joy and peace.
I saw them on Anderson Cooper's new daytime talk show, and I loved them. Not painting a rosey picture of MS or his 2 bouts with cancer. So down to earth and really inspiring to know someone can love u even if u have ms, my husband has been trying to convince me and I'd say "I love u " but I always felt I was.... in a way.... almost duping him with love, or using it to make him stay with me...guilt or sumthing. Now I must say I get it. He helps me BECAUSE we love eachother,eyes wide open.
