I've been quiet here lately, because my MS most certainly has not been quiet. A few weeks ago, I had a major MS attack. It's only my 3rd major attack in the 13 years since I've been diagnosed, and only the 2nd major physical one since I was originally diagnosed while battling optic neuritis. So what happened?
