My nams is Brittany. I have had MS for about 5 years now making me 25 and truly feel blessed to have the disease. It has affected my vision so I like to say that it changed the way I see things. I no longer take simple things for granted and I enjoy life more now that I know I can wake up and not be able to do the basic things I have always done. I like to think that God granted me with MS because I am a strong person and I refuse to give up no matter what happens.

 

From losing my ability to walk, going blind in my right eye, having my cognition affected and going completely numb on the left side of my body, I can finally say that I know what doctors mean when they ask if I had a relapse in the past.

 

I hated that I had no one to talk to when I was first disgnosed, and I never wish that on anyone so my purpose in life is to ensure people who have MS and have questions can ask someone on www.msdivas.com.

 

I have always wanted to make a difference, and even if I can help 1 person, thats 1 difference made.

 

I have amazing support from my family. I am marrying a huge "fan" both of me and MS in  December 2010. My puppy is adorable.  And I go to medical professionals that I trust and can talk to about anything. All together, I know I will be okay.

As I like to say, I am an AmBomb"Bad-Ass"ador of MS. =)
