Kim, your story was shared with me this morning through a dear friend from church. Reading through reminded me of exactly how i myself felt/feel. I am 29 yrs old, a single mother to four (2sets of twins) and diagnosed Sept of 2013. Like yourself a workaholic. I havent been back to work physically since but God has given me the resourses to start my own business. As i write this out i tear up with happiness despite my cognitive impairments i deal with. I have come a long way being paralyzed , sight going and could barely speak much less swallow even water. My faith has grown massively because of unforseen things had occured since my diagnoses but thats another story. I am excited to start my own foundation by spring 2015. Its a shame that this illness/disease is not talked about amongst caribean background. A taboo i guess you could say.
My prayers are with you and hope that you stay strong. Thank you once again for sharing your story
