About Me
- Enjoying the Ride
- Before my diagnosis I had a Chemical Engineering degree, an MBA, and a promising career. I had an amazing wife and two wonderful children (still do). I had a nice house with a swimming pool, a big lawn, and a bunch of toys. I was living the dream. I enjoyed a variety of physical activities such as golf, camping, hunting…driving, typing, and dressing myself. Then one day as I was jogging on my treadmill I noticed that my left foot went slap, slap, on the treadmill, whereas my right foot smoothly transitioned from heel to toe, heel to toe. After a year of visits to an assortment of specialists, I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, a particularly disabling variety of MS. Twelve years later I sit here in my power wheelchair, dictating to my computer because my hands won’t allow me to type more than a couple of words. I can’t work anymore, and my wife now doubles as my caregiver. I’ve started this blog to help me pass the time while engaged in a productive activity- advocating for the disabled community, of which I am now a reluctant member. I am Mitch, and despite everything I am still Enjoying the Ride.
Hi Mitch,
ReplyDeleteNot much new here for someone that has followed your blog as closely as myself but it's always good to revisit your story and listen to your words of wisdom. Keep up your good work.

Thanks for the link to the interview, just finished reading it. I'm new to your site so it was new information for me. I don't have MS. I read about studies showing positive reactions to turmeric in regards to MS. Have you had any experience with that?
ReplyDeleteI do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.
ReplyDeleteI don't know who you are but definitely you are going
to a famous blogger if you are not already ;) Cheers!
