About | My name is Cathy and I live in the Chicagoland area. I just recently left my job to focus on taking better care of myself. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 6 years ago and it has progressed. I had a very physical job however I found it difficult to perform my duties. I like being outdoors but I enjoy indoor activities more. My MS has taken over my life and I find it difficult to get motivated to do anything other than the bare essentials. I'm only 35 and I feel like I'm 55. I am married and have no children but I do have a few fur-babies. I enjoy movies and playing video games. When I do feel motivated, I put on my Ipod and try to dance. It's mostly in one place but it's something. I use to enjoy reading but find it more of a hassle and I don't know why. I'm hoping this is a good jumping off point to a better me. |
