What RRms requires of you.

It is a little different for all of us. It is an individual request, but so is life. What works for me may not work for "YOU" The images I try to paint in words may just totally bamboozle you. Or they may appear as clear as day and make perfect sense. They may be the piece of the puzzle that completes your picture and brings a smile to your face. This is very good, and I am happy for you, on the other hand, "YOU" might just see my name and say that bloke is crazy where is the delete button. This is not bad it just "IS". Not everything that "YOU" see or hear in life is perfect for "YOU" or even suits your circumstances. "YOU" must make judgements then decisions. I intensely dislike needles, but back in the day, Interferon Beta 1b (Betaseron) was the only Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT) available. So my choice was to suck it up or... and or was not really an option. Two of my strong women in my life quickly vetoed that option. So I gritted my teeth and bared my bum for several years worth of needles.

A choice was made, and consequences followed. I got a DMT, my RRms slowed, my life continued. Not as glorious as I wanted, but it continued nevertheless.

Your choices determine where "YOU" are going — left or right or straight ahead over the cliff. This is your RRms life; these are your decisions. They are not hard they just have to be made. Choosing a DMT for yourself is your starting point. That is the first one, and after that, they are a little easier to make, "YOU" did it once why not again? Fill your internal treasure vault with items of strength and success. Do not focus on what "YOU" can not do anymore. Focus on what "YOU" can do, on your successes. "YOU" will be much happier and fulfilled that way.

RRms is a very long path to walk. There are places of intense fear and darkness. Steel yourself against them and keep walking. There can be brighter places ahead. Not chirping birds and sunshine, we are technically chronically disabled, but it does not have to be doom and gloom and endless pain. Pull your shoulders back, straighten your hair and put your best foot forward.

Of all the things that "YOU" can do, RRms is one of them. Today, tomorrow and for the rest of your days. Be strong and believe in "YOU"

I admit, in some of your posts, I get lost. My MS journey has been short, from "not sure of stage" in July, 2016 to RRMS, Dec. 2016 to probably Secondary-Progressive MS (SPMS) October 2018! I am very grateful for all of my life before MS, very, very active to feeling like a sleepy slug at times. I've overcome the slug feeling and become more active and now I am just a person living as well as I can, except I have MS.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Please continue as you have. You give me food for thought and make me think more in depth. MS is certainly an individual disease we all share, which makes us family in many ways. We can each contribute positive thoughts and information to help each other!
