Ann Romney’s diagnosis came just before Thanksgiving in 1998 after she had been suffering the year before with severe numbness and fatigue, among other symptoms. The diagnosis came as a relief of sorts, because she wondered if she might have Lou Gherig’s Disease. She described her first year with MS as being horrible.
“...The first year of the disease is horrible, because you just can’t stand living with this cloud that’s over you and that’s sort of moved into your body.”
During Ann Romney’s first year with multiple sclerosis, she was a very sick woman.
“I was very sick in 1998 when I was diagnosed. I was pretty desperate, pretty frightened, and very, very sick. It was tough at the beginning, just to think, this is how I’m going to feel for the rest of my life.”
Ann has MS. She should have held a cushy job before her diagnosis, so then she could draw disability benefits, courtesy of the taxpayer.
Ann Romney can and does have domestic help. How they run their family is none of anybody’s business.
Don’t like Romney; disappointed he is the nominee. But Ann Romney shouldn’t be besmirched for living her life.
I have asked the mods to remove my flippard comment. I still think Mitt Romney is an evil SOB though.
I think we need to turn this right back around on the DEMS - are they so unfeeling as to attack an MS victim for not holding a second job? Talk about heartless!
