Newbies part 3

Well "YOU" have gotten through the challenging part. " YOU" know now to protect yourself. Wear your underwear in public and to religiously without fail, to take your chosen Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT) That is pretty much it with Relapsing-Remitting ms(RRms) The rest is learning a few new techniques that "YOU" may have never thought of.

Your diet, there is no ms diet, just eat clean and healthy

Exercise, I do core work so I can stand, sit straight and get out of bed.

Stop smoking and drink a little less. Basic behaviour that we all should engage in.

Start strengthening yourself for the mental game that ms is.

Come to terms that "YOU" are now disabled. What "YOU" used to do "YOU" can no longer or more likely it just takes "YOU" a little longer to do. This is not bad, it just is. Go easy on yourself and accept this. At 3 am when "YOU" can not sleep and "YOU" hurt in strange places, being at ease with yourself will take get "YOU" through the darkest of moments.

There are moments when "YOU" are scared and hurt. This is our life with RRms. Some will say fight, I understand this it is what some need to do to cope. I would suggest managing your RRms. It takes experience to know what to do and what not to do. Be gentle with yourself and listen to those experiences that tell "YOU" that what "YOU" are doing is not the wisest of things. Start reading about RRms, ignore the scary bits. That may never happen to "YOU" The achievements and successes make them happen to "YOU. People will come into your life and help "YOU" Others that "YOU" never expected will leave "YOU" In sickness and in health does not mean what it used to. Yes, I got sick and divorced within a month. It hurt but "YOU" always have to move on. Take time and find a way through. This is our journey, we can be carried for a little while, somebody can hold our hand and walk with us. "BUT" this is our journey, our lessons to learn our successes to be achieved. So slow down and learn what "YOU" have to, listen to what "YOU" need to and move along your mslife journey.

It is not impossible it is merely RRms, "YOU CAN YOU WILL YOU are DO' your ms" this today in 2018 is a very "DOABLE" condition. Have a cry but do not despair too long, it really is "OKAY". If I can "YOU" certainly can because we believe in "YOU" even when "YOU" do not.

be kind to yourself and others along "YOUR" journey

As always good advice. Learning to be kind and forgiving to yourself is huge on this journey. I've been learning this the hard way but being kind to self just makes the journey a little bit easier☺️
