Through the grace of Our Lady of the Roses, she has bestowed upon me a cure of sclerosis of the back and spinal column. I had been troubled with this on and off for seven years. Prior to going back to Our Lady's Shrine, I had worked for a personal injury attorney. I'd thought I would get the best doctors to take care of me. I'm going back to the Shrine.
Sclerosis is a curvature of the spine.
It's very painful. It can occur when you first get out of bed in the morning, and when you're reaching for a file, or working or sitting. I felt it almost all the time. Every time I got up in the morning, I would have to sort of move myself to the edge of the bed, and then get up. And every time I had to do everything related to a back movement, I would have terrific pain.
