in the scheme of things I write because I mostly enjoy doing it. What I say and do is because of the influences that I have experienced over my life.
When I was much younger, I heard a math equation that I always have tried to live by, and understand why I do as I do and say what I say.
Royce (aka YOU) is the total of all our experiences and the interpretation of those events. Ir really is a very cool math equation with lots of letters and the like but it is just me being mathematically very nerdy. Read it again three times. "YOU" are no more than all your experiences put together, and your interpretation of all of those events.
Fascinating when you look at it that way. I always have a choice, That Trigeminal Neuralgia pain I have at nights that the Doctor claims is sometimes suicidal, do I deliberately overdose or do I accept and understand the mechanics of the pain. For me understanding what I can of this disease and its variabilities allow me to cope. I certainly do not know every single detail about this condition, nor do I want to. I know just enough to scare me and enough to know I coped once, others have coped. So why can't I, and "YOU." My experiences say I coped once, I can again. I know that. And as they say, the first time is usually the scariest, after that, been there done that what more have you got ms, I "CAN cope"
It is all little experience. Break your Relapsing Remitting ms (RRms) life down into little pieces. The smaller that "YOU" can make your troubles the easier they are to cope with. Do not live your life by any persons standards or expectation. I say what I say as a guide for "YOU" to see what may be possible. Never as an order that "YOU" must obey. Admittedly I am a little anal about several things like Disease Modifying Therapy(DMT), but I am not forcing "YOU" to read Royce posts. "YOU" can always totally ignore my sage wisdom (sarcasm). Or "YOU" can let the idea ferment in your head, then modify it to suit "YOU" and your lifestyle. "YOU" do your RRms life your way.
I always say RRms because that is what I have and what I know, that does not mean that somebody else can not read my words and use it for a different condition, Just that I am talking more specifically about RRms. I do know something of the female side as I have access to an excellent first-hand source in the other room and I am not afraid to ask her girly stuff. Actually, why we are so close, our communication has no boundaries and very little sympathy.
So, if it suits "YOU" read it. If today or even this week "YOU" feel like sitting back eating chocolate biscuits, "YOU" do that. This RRms life is about "YOU" nobody else.
