Multiple Sclerosis - My Story - Part 1

My name is Angela and I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in October 2006.
I would like to share with you a new project called 'Flowers 4 MS', that I have created with the help of a special friend. Through the sale of these greetings cards, I hope to raise awareness and funds to aid research currently underway at The Multiple Sclerosis Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD and the Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX.

I view flowers as a symbol of hope, beauty and life and I feel they are the perfect representation of my dream, which is finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis and for all the rare neurological diseases that are so similar to it.
Flowers bring joy and beauty in very simple, but wonderful ways and they speak to everyones hearts through their beauty.

This is my story and the beginning of my MS journey...

Hi Angela!

In the video, at first you said you went to the doctor after you had a very big headache, even though you had other symptoms before, I think people should learn from your experience that when they feel something that is not normal in their body and that is pretty serious they should go to the dr. cause sometimes a disease can advance a lot and be more difficult to cure.

Keep it up, being positive helps a lot

Txs for the video

Good Luck!

Dear Jaime, thank you for coming and for listening to my story

I do agree with you and I do think that it's important to tell people to go to their doctors and tell them about the symptoms they are experiencing. In my case, my first symptoms came in the course of two months and it was when the headache came that I knew that something was wrong with me. Before then, for the two months, I really didn't think too much!

Thank you for watching the video and for the wishes!

Take good care

Angela

Hi Ruby,

I absolutely agree with you! Things that come from the heart are the ones that will succeed and all sacrifizes that they might require will always be worth it!

Grazie per essere venuta a scrivermi! Lo apprezzo molto!

Un abbraccio,

Angela

may I know if MS can cause death and how serious can it get?

[angelusa73]

No, actually I use both hands. I am ambidextrous.

My better hand to write with is the left one, but I know how to write with my right hand also.

If you are wondering why I move my hands when I talk...is because I am from Italy and I love moving my hands because they let me express myself better!

Hope I answered your question!

Have a good day,

Angela
