msa and me

In 2002 I was 47 and playing competitive tennis twice a week, running 5 miles daily, and swimming a mile weekly. Today I am confined to a wheelchair, I can’t walk, I can’t stand, I can barely speak, I get uncontrollable shaking, and am incontinent. MSA controls my life. That’s the bad part. The good part is my faith in God and my marriage. I’m fighting as hard as I can. I’ve remodeled my home to make it more user friendly, and I have a great circle of love surrounding me. I would be happy to share more experiences if you’d like.
