So I have been really unsure how to post something like this. I am not even sure how to wrap my head around it. So I guess I will just start at the beginning.
So 4 yrs ago I was pregnant with the most exciting little arrival. I would get my daughter. All of this was quickly overshadowed with pain and confusion. I lost vision in my right eye. Lost feeling in my hand. And was in a lot of pain. At first the Dr.s thought it was the way Lola was positioned in me. I was told to ride my pregnancy out and it should all be over. After I had this Beautiful little girl I was blindsided by the fact that my symptoms didn't go away that they got worse. Lola was four months old the first time someone told me they thought I had MS. I didn't know what this was so I went on a quest to become educated. I quickly learned that this was something I didn't want but not wanting it wasn't going to make it go away. I became committed to not be victimized by this. The next 3yrs were full of ups and downs physically. More pain than I could have ever imagined possible. I got to learn that it was ok for people to help me. It was ok that my 6 yr old was holding my hand while I cried. There were times I could see my baby in her crib but I couldn't pick her up. I could stroke her hair but I couldn't feel it on my fingers. Those simple pleasures became so missed. I would lose my voice so singing to my children became impossible. This was not an easy thing to surrender to. I think one of the hardest things to surrender to was that at some point My husband would be expected to care for me for the rest of my life while I deteriorate with no control. That was hard. He didn't deserve this nor did my kids. As hard as it was I finally got as ok with it as possible. Enough of that. This week I went to the Chiropractor who had x rayed my neck. Needless to say he told me on Monday that he didn't think I had MS at all that I had a neck that was straight as a board with no curve. Basically I have no cushion so my nerves are all being pinched by simple activities which explains so much. My emotions have been all over the place since he said this to me. :" Could this be to good to be true" to " could i have spent the last 4 yrs suffering and there was an awnser" Either way none of that really matters. What really matters is where I am at right now and that's a good place I have someone standing in front of me telling me that Thur some work and maybe some pain and intense treatment I could be "cured" . Wow! that's all I could really say for 2 days. So here I am! I am going to do everything this man tells me to do and pray for my miracle. I think my lessons were learned. I wouldn't erase this part of my life for anything. I have grown so much in the last three yrs it not even describable. Being in so much pain can bring you to new places of understanding. And as much as I have felt like a burden on my family and friends I know that not only have I grown from this struggle but lots have. My kids for sure understand what its like to serve others.
So thats my news just needed to share.
