I am a 54 year old woman with Multiple Sclerosis who was working full-time until two weeks ago.  I am experiencing numbness throughout 2/3 of my body and have had to go on disability from work.  Steroid therapy has not helped at all.  I am afraid that I may not be able to return to work.  I carry the payments for the mortgage and healthcare for my family.  If I can't work we stand the chance of loosing the house and the healthcare.  I need help with getting to work and a way to be able to move around.

Another concern of mine is getting the devices needed to be able to function in my home.  The laundry center is in the basement and I cannot access it at all.  Climbing the steps to the front door is very difficult as well.

If anyone can help with these needs, I would truly appreciate it.

I was diagnosed 5 years ago with Multiple Sclerosis.  I am taken an Interferon injection weekly.  Two weeks ago I went into what the doctor called an "acute exacerbation".  A plaque is in the spinal column at T7-8 which is affecting 2/3 of my body with total numbness.  It is very difficult for me to walk because I cannot feel my feet.  I am worried about my family and my home due to the fact that I have been the main breadwinner for a couple of years now.  If the feeling does not come back, I don't know what we are going to do.  The doctor won't release me to work until I can feel things again.  None of the steroid therapy has helped so far.  There has been absolutely no change in these two weeks.  I am concerned about our financial situation.
