Mother-of-two, Emma Tinkler, now 48, from Sydney, first experienced blurred vision when she returned from her honeymoon. She also noticed her handwriting was messy and a toe on her right foot was numb. Her GP checked her eyes and said the best-case scenario would be something wrong with her vision or, worst-case scenario, multiple sclerosis. “After eye tests and later an MRI, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis,” Emma tells 7Life.
“When my mobility was severely restricted and my functioning was to a bare minimum, it certainly taught me a lot — it taught me patience, to ask for help and you don’t really need to be in a hurry to get anywhere,” she says. “On the other hand, it also taught me that life is short and when great opportunities come along, grab them with both hands!” Emma says while medications relieve her symptoms, there are “no disease-modifying drugs” available.
