...Also, I feel guilty!? Yes, I am twelve years old and my mother was diagnosed with M.S before I was born. She has been diagnosed with it ever since she was 26 on June 12, 1987, and now she is 47. Her doctor said that if she had children, her M.S may get worse and it could be passed onto the children, but she made that risk.

Her M.S has gone terrible. She must always have somebody with her to help her. She is paralyzed and the blood does not flow through her legs, causing it to be purple. My brother's friend, Seth Greenburg, had a mother who had M.S, and it turned so terrible, she died just about a year ago.

My mother's M.S is horrible. She is always in a wheelchair or scooter and cannot move her legs at all. Will she die as well?

Also, I feel very guilty being alive. Her M.S got worse just because I am alive. I wish she didn't make that risk, because it is my fault.

What frightens me the most; will I get it too?
