Learning My New Way


I knew something was going on but my symptoms were so inconsistent that I brushed it off. As a single mom, working full time, teaching fitness classes and running several times a week maybe I just needed a little break, right? Wrong! After cutting back, my symptoms became worse and more frequent. There were random times when I would get really dizzy or feel like electric shocks were shooting through my body.  I also kept getting extremely exhausted during my runs.  Then one day last September, my leg went numb and my eyesight started to blur.
