This is no easy task trying to chose a DMD today. You’re already overwhelmed with your new diagnosis and now I need to decide with all of these options? Just as MS acts different with each us, so do the DMDs. I believe it’s important to feel comfortable with your neurologist, preferably a MS specializing neurologist, to discuss which DMD might be a good fit for you. Do your research, study the efficacy and safety data, if available, form your decision and make a list of questions to discuss with your neurologist. It’s important to remember that if your initial medication doesn’t work, you have many others to try! I did. The blessings of advancement!

As trying as this time can be, I valued the importance of a positive attitude as I strived to be the very best I could be. My family was watching. I never would expect any more from them then I do for myself. “What’s she going to do with what’s dealt her way, be it good, bad or indifferent? My true motivations as I embraced the next chapter of my life. Looking back with no regrets!

Thank you for posting this. Even though I had the privilege of being one of cheerleaders, this gives additional insight into the joy shared by two outstanding people. I look forward to cheering you both on in future races!
