Happy birthday (in more ways than one)

[Lesleyt10]

Hi All - today is my 45 birthday.  Not only that it is exactly (to the day) one year since I was diagnosed with PMF.  My 44th birthday as you can imagine was pretty much a write off as were the next couple of months as I came to terms with the diagnosis and what that meant to me going forward.  However, I am pleased to say that although that happened, things really haven't changed for me over the last year.  I'm still fit and well, still working full time and still able to get out and about and enjoy time with my fabulous family and my wonderful kids. 

Although it is 12 months exactly since my diagnosis, this birthday has been very different for me.  It has already been full of fun and much more to come, I have been very spoilt and treated to lots of things by my family and friends, out for lunch today and over the next few days and out over the next few evenings. 

I know I am very lucky to be in this position and I send lots of love and positive vibes to all our MPN friends who are struggling at various stages but just wanted to let the newbies on here know there is life after diagnosis and it doesn't have to be the end of the world. 

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine.  I put a special order in for it

What a lovely positive post. A happy birthday to you Lesley. I am ET just diagnosed last year but i'm through the anxious time post diagnosis now. It's great to hear from people enjoying life. Reading this sort of post and similar ones from all MPM folks on this site makes you realise that life goes on and is for living. Putting your worries aside and living every day in the moment is a good way to appreciate the life you have. I am just sitting here on my day off from work with a cup of coffee looking out at lovely blue skies and birds in the garden, feeling content, enjoying the simple things and all warm and fuzzy..... no idea why!

Thanks for the positive post

Happy Birthday Leslie,  Like you, I was dx in my early forties with MDS but later confirmed as PMF.  We all have different journeys & events with these rare illnesses's.      At this point,  I'm still somewhat healthy but suffer from fatigue which I have learned to deal with over the years.   This will be my 26 year with PMF (calr+) and I relish every day and of course every birthday. The years went quickly, but I only remember the one day at a time. Good luck to you!

I'm also lucky to be in a healthy place just now & long may it last  

Hope you have a wonderful Birthdsy with your family X
