From the Top

Hey guys,
    I am hoping I will not make people bored. My name is Corrie. I am 26 years old and I have a 6 year old son.

I am creating this blog because even though I have an epic amount of support this journey is still hard. I am hoping that by sharing I will not only be able to express myself but I will also be able to help others in their journey. I have a lot wrong with me. Mentally I am sure not much is right and physically it seems a new part of me begins to fail each month. I was not always like this. So, where do we begin? Let's just start from the top. I grew up in a pretty loving home my parents did divorce but it was not horrible. I was always so clumsy... broken bones, burns, cuts, and if it's sharp and on the ground you bet I will find it. I don't remember the pain. From any of those incidents. What I do remember is being rushed to the ER and surrounded by people I loved. I figured I would grow out of being clumsy and figured it was all normal. When I was 6 I was playing at a construction site while my dad was working. I slipped and hit my back on a rock. I peed myself from the fall... I had my friend Justine walk home with me and I never told my dad. I had back pain after that and still have back pain. I am not entirely sure if my herniated disk is related to that...but I have a herniated disk. I remember being obsessed with babies. I always wanted as many of them as I could have and I looked up to my Memaw for her brilliant mothering skills. I was smart growing up I hit a few gifted classes and got noticed by Johns Hopkins University when I was in elementary school. As I got older I was punctual, caring, and well learned in Adulting. Or so I thought. I worked hard on my credit and did my best to ensure that things would go well in as many controllable aspects of my life. I had my son in 2011 when I was 20. It was a rocky start but I was overjoyed by his existence. I managed to get My Associates of Arts in Business.  I am now struggling through my Bachelors of Science in medical administration. Why is it all the sudden a struggle? Well about three or four years ago I started getting tired much more than normal. I also began having crazy periods. then two or three years ago I started losing sensation in my feet which is now working its way to my chest. My face went numb on the left side and I could not control the muscles in my face. I went to the ER they thought maybe I had some sort of stroke. I was there for four days. they ran all kinds of tests. At the end of it they said there was a high chance I had Multiple Sclerosis as they found lesions during an MRI. The issue with my face was most likely from complicated Migraines. At least that is where it all started.
