MS hit me right out of the blue. I went to bed one night as usual and woke up next morning to find that I was seeing double. In that instant my life changed for ever. I was sent for an MRI scan the results of which showed that I had four areas of damage on my spinal cord. Although the Doctors knew that it was MS, I was not told it was until I had a major relapse almost 5 years later, even then they said that although it probably was MS it could not be confirmed until I had a second relapse which I duly did have. I was in bed one morning and felt a cramp in my leg and then within 90 mins it felt like a line had been drawn down the centre of my body with no feeling of any kind on one side of it. The Doctors told me that ' hopefully I would recover' and after about 4 months I started getting feelling back again but it never came back to anything like it was. I was told at the Hospital that they (at that time), didn't have any information they could give me about MS and that the best place for me to get any was the internet. I was not even told that in the same town that the hospital was in there was a local branch of the MS Society. I wrote to as many places that I could find to get as much information as I get about MS. Then something happened that turned my life from upside down to right way up again......I met other people who had MS. I was able to keep in contact with them using the internet just as I had used the internet to learn about MS. It has felt like I have been travelling along a very dark tunnel for a long time and I can now see daylight again. Thank you all so very much for being there.  Now You See Him...  Now You Don't ...
