My DX came as a big shock to me, as my first sign of anything wrong was the loss of my sight in my left eye in January 2005.

This happened overnight, after spending what seemed like hours at hospital, I was told they thought it was Optic neuritis (ON) for short.

I had no idea what this was, and no idea it could be linked to MS.

Had further test's at St Thomas's hospital, in London, including a MRI scan. A Lumber Puncture at Northampton in March 05.

I was told in was MS on my daughters 6th birthday the 20th April 05, the whole process has taken less than 4 months.

The company I had worked for 12 years for decided my services were no longer required, so I become a Housewife.

ON attacked my eyes so bad over the next 12 months, I am now registered blind.

MS will never stop me doing what I want as long as I can
