I choose this title as my first blog title because the story that brought me here was a long and winding road.
It all started in April 2006 when I was out for a daily walk and became numb on my entire right side. Though it only occurred for a minute it felt like forever. From my head to my toes I was numb and could not move. I was so frightened I didn't know what to do. Once the numbness passed I kept walking but I had so much pain in my head, eye, and leg. All on the right side. I had just gotten new glasses the day before so I called the eye doctor to make an appointment. She ran some tests and her first thought was that I had MS. She referred me to a medical doctor at the county clinic because I didn't have medical coverage. When I visited the doctor they never did any tests they just put me on medication for depression.
Tune in next week for what happened next.
