Part 3 ish

[RoyceNewton]

Okay, I do not remember exactly all the parts and am far too unmotivated to look them up so "YOU" get what I write today.

"YOU" have your diagnose (DX), sorry to meet "YOU" ir really would have been better under different circumstances. I see that "YOU" are wearing protective underwear, Yes I am very big on that. After twenty years I can just shrug it off, it might take "YOU" a little longer than a day, that is okay we have time.

The Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT) that is a fun one, what do "YOU" pick what do "YOU" choose. My feelings are go for the strongest that "YOU" can afford and cope with. Remembering always that there are side effects. I think that potentially dying is not a side effect that I would be comfortable with, but I am me not "YOU" so "YOU" do what "YOU feel is best.

Okay, that was a decision and "YOU" made a choice, that is very good "YOU" will do that a lot along this ms journey. Remember in real life (IRL) decisions have to be made, "YOU' just get to do it now with really strange drug names.

Two challenging ones down, now "YOU" get to look into much easier ones "DIET", there is no ms diet, though I did sort of follow the "SWANK" diet for several years. Did not cure me, but it was healthy. I might suggest following a heart-healthy diet, Mediterranean comes to mind. I once wrote about choosing your words carefully. Diet is not something "YOU" do for a week to lose five kilogrammes/five pounds. "YOU" are going to be following a regimen for your health. "YOU" may not get enough exercise in your ms future, so eating healthy from your early days may limit other health issues.

People do not like this one, but I am a big fan of exercise. I like core work as it helps me get out of bed and stand straighter. Several times I have been glad that I could lift myself up an get out of bed. Being aware of how to fall safely has really cut back on the bruising. It is also very useful to know how to pick myself up off the floor in the grocery store, and how I need assistance. Not knowing how somebody can best help "YOU" can lead to extra injuries, something we would like to avoid.

Hmm, this is getting a little long so I think we shall start a new page, back soon.

Another beautiful day with ms
