My
name is Judi Lecoq. Multiple Sclerosis is my little companion, unwanted
but it will not go away. I want to tell my story, I am compelled to
tell my story. And this is why, when Stan so kindly invited me to write a
column for www.MSnewsChannel.com I agreed.
I used to walk normally, even run. I used to play guitar quite well. I used to wear high heels. I used to run a business.
In
1997, after a bad fall, an MRI revealed a lesion on my spinal cord. A
spinal tap was recommended to name this thing called Multiple Sclerosis.
Guess what? I was relieved to finally know why I was always fatigued
and terribly uncoordinated. Oh, let’s not forget the really embarrassing
stuff which had been going on for 20+ years. So when the Doctor said
“You have Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis”, I said “YAY….what,
WHAT?”
