I woke up this morning.

Rather obvious I guess but it needed to be said. I may not have woken up. One day I won't, I hope it is a long way away, but I never know. Car drivers around here, I think are insane. In a hurry to go nowhere they need to, to do nothing they like, to spend money they do not have. Very strange if you stop get off the treadmill for a moment and have a look at it. Very strange indeed.

Part of this ms journey is really sometimes a gift, Bear with me, I am referring to us, the Relapsing Remitting people. "YOU" do recall that I know nothing of any other types, as I do not live them. As I get over the shock, conquer my fear, move forward and "DO" my ms I learnt about myself and others. I learn that I can influence how others see me even how I see myself. I am not that poor dirty beggar in the street. I am a strong determined and intelligent human being.

Yes, sometimes things do not go to plan. Events happen that would truly shatter anybody else, but I have learned "ME", and "MY ILLNESS". I have learned what I may expect and I am at peace, even comfortable with that. I may not yearn for the pain of trigeminal neuralgia the embarrassment of soiling myself or the annoyance of forgetting things, but I have learned, always learning. That these things may be part of my illness.

ms, maybe in my body, causing mischief but "I CAN I WILL and I do HANDLE IT, because I am ME". It may think that it has got me, but surprise surprise. This time ms has bitten of a little too much by choosing me to mess with. ms is doing all that it can to hurt me, but I will use every tool available to help stand tall for as long as I can. If I have to sit down that is okay. I will "NEVER SURRENDER" for I am me and I am strong, and "YOU" are strong as well. Give yourself some time, be kind to yourself and learn to bend, bend like the fields of BAMBOO. Do not be rigid and break at the slightest headwind. ms will throw mant headwinds at you over the long years of your life. "YOU" and only "YOU" have to face them, but be smart, be calm, be patient.

This today for "YOU" is a very doable illness. How "YOU" choose to face it will determine your quality of life, not so,e mischevious annoying illness. "YOU" have a lot of years ahead, make them the best years that "YOU" can.
