M.D.

Shira, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the large amount of time you patiently and kindly spent with me on the phone today, answering my questions in detail, offering support and information, systematically dismantling so many supposed "truths" and reasons for denying me what is mine, as proof that I cannot possibly be telling them the truth and making light of the multitude of symptoms which have robbed me of my life as I once enjoyed it.

You, Shira, as well as David and Wendy together, have given me the greatest gift of this past year.............the gift of hope!!!.........of hope that I just might someday have the necessary resources to move forward with my life in pursuit of a new passion, whatever that might be.............of hope that I might have the resources to find a healthier state in which to live out the remaining decade of my life.............of hope that I may be free to find some way of finding a supportive family doctor and specialist who can truly help me................of hope that I won't have to look over my shoulder constantly for surveillance cameras which misinterpret my every simple action..............of hope that I may soon be free to be me once again, regardless of my disability.

So thank you Shira with love!. from my perspective that was a chunk of telephone time (and the investigative time behind it) which was worth its weight in gold!!! It was a wonderful Christmas gift and a great way to end my roller coaster year!! I feel honored to have found you all.

Facts & Figures - Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the nervous system degenerates. Inflammation causes myelin, the substance which insulates the nerves as well as helps conduct nerve impulses, to disappear. The afflicted individual experiences progressive interference in their nervous system function. Speech, walking, writing, and other activities may be affected.

The first symptoms of the disease may be visual, including blurred vision and colour de-saturation. Limb weakness may also be another early sign, as well as muscle spasms, numbness, and speech impediments. Many individuals experience mental symptoms such as memory loss, decreased concentration, and the inability to perform tasks in succession. Some individuals experience a pattern of remission and relapse of symptoms. Others experience a continuous worsening of symptoms from the onset of the disease.

Fact: Experts estimate 55,000 to 75,000 Canadians living with MS.

Fact: About 70% of individuals with multiple sclerosis experience partial or total remission of symptoms early in the disease.
