So, my friend, Joy, was just diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. This was surprising because Joy is only 19, and this disease usually isnt seen in young people. The doctors say she will probably have about 2 episodes a year, no telling how long they will last, until the disease progresses and gets worse. Eventually, the disease will take over her body, and she will no longer be able to walk or use her hands. She is currently in the middle of an "episode." She is completely blind in her left eye, and has limited vision in her right. This is only temporary, but we dont know when the vision will come back. And once it does, it could disappear again at any time. MS does not have a cure, but there are treatments that can lessen the frequency and severity of the episodes. The docotor wants to start Joy on a course of treatments. Unfortunatley, Joy has no medical insurance and the treatment would cost $18,000 a year. Please pray for Joy. She is very scared and feels very isolated at this time. Thanks for the prayers!
