Multiple Scerosis (M.S.)Tattoo

I was a biology teacher. I loved science and wanted to share my passion with students to get them excited about science. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis early in 2009. The one major attack took place Christmas eve 2008, which was also my son’s first Christmas. M.S. has changed my life and I think for the better.  Most things have become more difficult reading writing and comprehension, walking and a slew of other things which has made teaching something I had to give up. But now I get to spend time at home with my two wonderful boys. I recently got a tattoo of a neuron. With the help of a image I found, my knowledge of M.S. and Biology, and a wonderful tattoo artist I thought this was a perfect tattoo for me. I think human cells are beutiful and show how God makes even the smallest part of us beautiful. It’s just a part of what makes me who I am and even though it will M.S. will always be a part of me it doesn’t define who I am and can be shown as a beautiful image that only adds to the strong person I am. We should embrace the diseases and hardships and wear them proudly. So here is the tattoo of my M.S. cell.
