Kathy introduces herself and describes the multiple sclerosis symptoms she experiences.

Kathy:
Hi, my name is Kathy Simpson. I am the author of, “The MS Solution: How I Solved the Puzzle of My Multiple Sclerosis.”

I had all the traditional symptoms of MS. We all have them to one degree of severity or another. I had chronic fatigue; that’s the worst. That’s ubiquitous across the board with multiple sclerosis. I had chronic pain. I got to the point where I could hardly walk; my back and leg were just incredibly painful. I had breathing problems, swallowing problems, hearing problems, vision problems, and then all the ones that you hear about that aren’t quite as significant, but are very, very traditional, which are hair loss, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, everything that you can think of, I had.
