Your story sounds so familiar. My MS symptoms started in 2000 as I look back. I was first diagnosed with carpal tunnel, then a pinched nerve in my neck, then sciatica from my three C-sections and finally MS in July of 2007. It was a stunning blow as a mother of three and a wife. Then I had to regroup for me and my children. I started Rebif the next month and had been taking it fine until I noticed bruises on my legs (not the injection sites) and severe depression. With children we have to acknowledge this diagnosis and keep going to the best of our abilities. I now have mobility problems and hopefully will be starting PT soon. I am a case manager for home health but am currently seeking a job that requires little to no physical activity for me. The field visits and the long drives are too much for me. Keep your head up and pray.
