My Name is James Williston Horne and yes I am just another Left Handed Sagittarian with M.S. I am 59 years old and have had M.S. since 1970. My first bout was when I was working at a lumber yard for a summer job. I started tripping on the piles of lumber and decided that it would be in the best interest of me to leave work for the day. By the end of the day I had driven home and could not hold down the gas pedal. Was admitted into the hospital that night and loss useage of both legs and arms became very spastic. About two weeks later I woke for the morning still in the hospital but I was able to move my right toe. Thru constant therapy and belief I was able to walk again and the arms lost the spactisity that they had. Kept working fulltime with no further problems except that I couldn't run long distances, I would keep tripping. 1980 was my second bout. My eye sight was that of a skipping movie picture. About two weeks later I regained full vision. Kept working full time and life was fine once again. All was well till 2000 approx. January when I started having a hard time walking again with it affecting basically only my right side. At that time I had a constructuion company which I had owned for approx. 20 years. I had to end the company and started working for another company a project estimator. I use a walker, wheelchair and hold on to alot of things. I am fairly mobile and sometimes I feel like Forest Gump and want to throw aside the walker and wheelchair but I know that will not happen. If you fall down you get up and go forth because nobody other than you will do it. M.S. affects so many different parts of your body from your head to your toes including your mind. So for those with M.S. have belief in yourself and you can overcome many obsticles that you thought you wouldn"t be able too. I have experienced many symptons from M.S. Depression, feeling useless, fatigue, mobility problems, vision problems, uninary and all other that go along with that, dexterity, confusion, dillusion (just kidding) . I have excepted it , live with it on a daily basis and have come to understand it by living with it for about the past 40 years thru good times and bad times.
I am still working pretty much full time. I stay fairly active and life is good.
 My stories are all orginal and I have always enjoy writing them. I will keep them coming as long as my mind allows it !!!! 
Thanks and have a good one. 
Just Remenber If You Fall Down Get Up  and Keep Going Forth!
