Hello everyone. I was diagnosed in 2011. It started with numbness in my right leg, then problems walking, it seems like everything happened overnight, now I use a wheelchair & numbness in both legs. I am starting physical therapy as I do not want to let this take over my life.

Hello rstokard, good that you starting therapy. What I tell everyone is as soon as possible keep physical active. Make your self move, walk, yoga,stretch and just move. Like they tell us about muscles; use it or loose it. Good luck.
