multiple sclerosis symptoms: But, it wasn’t until 2013 that the North End resident revealed to her friends that the walk had more meaning for her than they first thought. "I said ‘The truth guys, the reason why I do the walk for MS, is it actually for me," said Mendoza, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Mendoza, 26, first experienced multiple sclerosis symptoms when she was 11, starting with a white spot in her eye, that soon progressed to severe vision impairment, along with numbness in her leg. Photo Store Lizelle Mendoza and her pals have been taking part in the Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries MS Walk for several years now. She said the symptoms would leave and then return ever couple years. It wasn’t until age 18 that Mendoza finally received a diagnosis of relapse-remitting multiple sclerosis. Mendoza said navigating the health care system was tough, as her parents are immigrants, coming to Canada from the Philippines. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
