A man, lets call him JOE, contacted me via internet. He constantly searches for treatments for his MS, while he was searching, he stumbled upon this web-site. Did some digging, and found my personal BLOG. He was diagnosed with MS when he was 28, he is 48 now, and struggles with his disease. I can relate to him in a very real, and scary way. He sent me an excerpt from his autobiography. It is touching, powerful, and sad. If you havn't struggled with the disease, or had a close one struggle with it, it may be hard to understand. But it doesn't take away from the reality of his writing.  

This is my story. I have Mutiple Sclerosis and I'll be darned if I am going to let that get in the way of my life ambitions.
