And now you are not sure what to do.īut don’t worry. But when the worst happened, you couldn’t think. You hoped for the best and prepared for the worst. Regular doctor appointments, healthy eating and exercise became a norm. The day the MRI revealed your fate, you did everything right. I know you are asking how did I get here. Searching for an escape but being distracted by blurry vision, fatigue and foot drop. Staring out a keyhole, straining to see some light.

MS Madness makes us realize that with a sense of humor, we can survive anything.“When we dream alone it is only a dream, but when many dream together it is the beginning of a new reality.” ~ Friedensreich Hundertwasser Life with multiple sclerosis can be daunting, but Yvonne shares her giggles at the bizarre world she has unwittingly entered and the new perspectives it has given her on life.

Vonne deSousa's diagnosis of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis came with an insightful declaration from a new doctor ('MS sucks') and a brother's helpful advice ('You could totally get one of those handicapped parking plates now').
