"My hand tingled & my vision blurred"

 

This was from CNN Larry King Live

 

"I would say don't panic first of all,you know, There are thing's out there you can do. But for me I was devastated because I thought about my children. Would I be able to walk them down the asile? You know would I be in physical good enough shape to do that?

 

"My children are 9 & 6. And I've been diagnosed almost 10 years and my first child was 3 months old. I remember leaning over the hospital bed to get the spinal tap & looking into her eyes at 3 months old & I just started crying because I was just thinking to myself, here's this beautiful baby. And what type of image is she going to have of me?"

 

"Is this disease going to take my life now? Is it going to put me in a wheelchair? Or will she be proud of me? And those fears have since subsided becasue my children have grown up with me having MS. You know they give me my shot. You know so as long as they're not fighting."

 

"You know I remember laying in bed one noght feeling sorry for myself & saying,you don't know what it feels like to have this diease. And it was in the dark and this voice comes out of the dark and it gave me chill bumps because she said, you don't know what it feels like to lay on this side of the bed wondering if I'm going to wake up with the same man I laid down with, if you're going to be able to get up in the morning."
