Interview with my Dad, David

What did you know about M.S. before you were diagnosed?

D: Nothing really. When I was diagnosed I asked the doctor if it was was Jerry Lewiss kids have (Multiple Dystrophy)


How did the diagnosis affect your life?

D: On a positive side it showed how many people cared for me and helped me.

I knew I wasn't feeling well so it was a relief to know what it was and that it could be treated.


What symptoms do you have?

D: Tingling in my feet, fatigue, loss of balance


What has your treatment been?

D: I take 2 different pills everyday. I get infused with a drug once a month. The drug keeps the progression of the disease down.


Since you have gotten treated have you felt better?

D: Yes. I probably have more of a variety of symptoms now but less severity.


What are your hopes for your future with M.S?

D:To stay stable and hopefully they will find a cure. But I will be content if I stay the same. I can get through it.
