Hi! I'm Monica. I am a 50-something former elementary school teacher, fur-mama, heritage home owner, and lover of antiques, good tea, and books, now living with secondary progressive Multiple Sclerosis.
When I started Life By Design...Not Diagnosis in 2010, it was called My Road to Liberty, and I envisioned it as a public journal to document my experience with the experimental CCSVI (Chronic Cerebral Spinal Venous Insufficiency) treatment.
Despite my best efforts at the time, my MS symptoms were worsening. And so I made the decision to try this experimental treatment and record my experience.
