| MY STORY My name is Tara. I am 37 with 3 children. I have been married for 16 years. I was Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in March of 2007. I had my first exacerbation that started in August of 2006 that kept me bed ridden for about 6 months. It has been a long recovery time and I continue to have flare-ups. I have to use a cane every once in awhile and I had a hard time dealing with that part of this disease. After a little "tough love" from my Mom and a glance of reality, I decided that using a cane doesn't have to be so awful... It can be FUN! |

| The past three years has been very long and hard not just for me but for many of my friends and family. I closed off myself from a lot of people not because I wanted to but I think it was just too much for me to handle and I was in a state of shock and when I talk about my illness then it becomes "real" and then I am faced with the reality of this disease. It is very hard to accept something that you have no control over. I am working very hard on the acceptance and struggles that comes with this disease. |
| I want to say Thank You to all my friends and family for sticking by me and supporting me through this journey. I know this is just as hard on all of you as it is for me. Every night I thank God for having you all in my life. |
| Some of my favorite quotes and inspirations that get me through each day "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow." Albert Einstein "The feeling of hopefulness sometimes comes from someone helping us. Think back to a time when you had lost hope. Many times we regained our optimism because someone gave us a helping hand." Catherine Pulsifer, from Poem for Hope |
| I was trying very hard to deal with the diagnosis. I was going through my own kind of depression. I couldn't stop crying. One night I was woken up suddenly with a word repeatedly going through my head and the word was Perseverance I couldn't get the word out of my head and I really didn't know what it meant. So I found the definition and I will share it with you. Perseverance Perseverance is demonstrated by those who keep going when the going gets tough, who never give up Ever since that night I have lived everyday trying to live by that meaning. |
