Misdiagnosis is common with Multiple Sclerosis. | World Pulse
I knew this to be true, i started tripping a lot and was told i had sympathetic nerve distrophy in my foot, going years to Physical Therapy, spending all kinds of money, until one day my PT gal said, has anyone given you an MRI? I think you could have MS. What a relief when they sent me to a neurologist and he told me I had Multiple Sclerosis. For four years i knew something was wrong. The weak right leg, the feeling vibrations in the feet and around my middle. And the fatigue and heat intolerance.
I was so happy to finally find out what was wrong with me. Then comes the fear. Then came the time for me to go online and discover just what MS was. I had, have the Progressive kind of MS, where disability continues, with no relapse, no getting back what i lost. I have two muscles that are paralyzed in my right leg, which explained the drop foot and falling all the time. They made me a foot brace that helps me walk without tripping.
I have to avoid the heat, I have to slow down and take naps to "Refill the Cup". Stress is like a packman in my brain, eating away at my nerves, the nerves that control my leg.
But i was able to retire at 53, and one day when i was cleaning out my closet, i found my journals from the early eighties when I first moved out to Oregon. I lived like a nomad, in the Wallowa Mountains of Eastern Oregon with a group of foresters who did timber inventory for the forest service. I started reading the journals and started to chuckle and decided that I would write a book, which I did. Actually three books, "From the Waters of Coyote Spring", "Felix and Eve" and "The Arrangement" which are all in one paperback book called "The Eve Chronicles" by Diane DeVillers aka (SmartyPants).

Women at non-profits make less. Once again women get the short end of the stick. | World Pulse
Women in non-profit company's still making less than they should. American women can elect a female President and get wage equity. 76 cents on the dollar, my montra, but why are we still making less than a man doing the same job.
Women need to unite and vote for a woman President. Could women do any worse?

How Multiple Sclerosis changes as you age. What to expect. | World Pulse
People with MS live only seven years less than the normal person, read this article about how we age and how our symptoms progress or remain stable. No one knows how their MS will progress, but certain things may happen as you age. Things like increased balance issues, problems with fatigue.
