...well, actually there is no giggle involved.
Because of the optic neuritis I have been experiencing, I was advised by my neurologist to have an MRI. I had that done last night and just got a phone call from him. He said that there are lesions on my brain and I will go in tomorrow to talk more about this with him. He did not say that I have MS, but that this most likely will lead to MS. I am sorry I don't have more information than that right now. I have a lot of questions too.
I had it all planned out in my head how I would tell people that there were no lesions, but I was not prepared to hear that I do. Curtis's response was, "It's sobering, isn't it." Yes, it is. It is hard to hold back the tears as I am writing this. This is life changing.
For your information, I am usually just fine. I have fatigue that seems to hit me pretty bad at times (especially when stressed), but normal day to day I get along just fine. It will be nice when my eye gets better, but for now my right takes over for my left and I have an automatic needle threader on my sewing machine (thank goodness for that!). I just had to get this news out and processed. Thank you all for your love and support. =)

I'm so sorry to hear that Sarah. Wow! Keep us posted. I will research MS and how you can lessen the symptoms and slow down the degeneration. I love you!
Ahhhhh! I am sure that is how you feel. Sorry! Keep us updated!
I am so sorry Sarah. We will keep you in our prayers. Keep us posted. I love ya.
Sarah, My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am sure that you are overwhelmed with emotions. I have a friend that has MS and she is very young too, and I can tell you, life goes on. When you are ready, I could also recommend a good book, it is a diet book, but I have heard it works wonders on MS. For now, see what your DR says. (((HUGS)))
That is terrible news. We will be praying for you and your family.
I just got this as a prayer request from Sharon. I will absolutely be praying for you and your family.
I'm sorry about your bad news Sarah. My prayers will be with you.
I am so sorry, Sarah! This is hard news. I'll definitely be praying for you!
