Well, we certainly did get a lot of very interesting opinions, didn't we? They were all quite interesting and I really did read them all. Please understand that I will most likely ignore them all but they are appreciated.
"YOU" are what is important to me, "YOU YOU YOU" If this distracts "YOU" slow down your reading. What I say is not intended for "YOU" to quickly read at the stop light on your phone. My intention is always for "YOU" to read it slowly stop then read it again. Say to yourself "oh I get that now, I can maybe change something" "Or that is a way I had not thought of before" I have been playing this Relapsing Remitting ms game for a long time. In most things I take my time and reread them twice or more. I have eye problems so yes I understand that sometimes "YOU" can be distracting that is why "YOU" read something twice. If "YOU" have read my writings "YOU" will have noticed that I say a lot to newly diagnosed (Newbies) or people that are need some reminding that they are important, not just some waste to be pitied and ignored. I care about "YOU", I am here to help "YOU" to say to "YOU" that I care and that "YOU" are important.
When I was first diagnosed (Dx'd) there was a spate of suicides in our local ms family. I decided at the time that I did not want to go that way and how terrible it must have been for those people to have not had support, such that they did that. They must have felt really alone. I write and I talk to "YOU". "YOU" are sitting on the couch talking to me, we are discussing our fears our question our advice, and of course various embarrassing things that have happened to me and how I got through it. To perhaps give "YOU" some strength on a day when "YOU" need it. Not everybody has a Mother like mine or an attitude like mine. Sometimes "YOU" need to be reminded that "YOU" really do matter and count.
If this causes "YOU any difficulty my apologies, perhaps what I write is not something that "YOU" need to see. But and it is a big "BUT " maybe "YOU" are. That is the person I am talking to. "YOU" are sitting next to me, I am holding your hand, and I am there for "YOU' "YOU" are not alone, there is somebody else with "YOU" and I hope to say words that resonate and help "YOU" through that next five minutes.
I will not disparage your ms journey. If "YOU" do not travel with me I would bid "YOU" all success and safe journey. If "YOU" continue or start to read me then I capitalize and put apostrophes around the word "YOU", because if what I say resonates, then it is for "YOU" I am not lecturing "YOU" or belittling "YOU" I am talking to "YOU" and reminding "YOU" that in that moment with those words "YOU" are what is important. "YOU" nothing else, nobody else just "YOU", just "YOU".
Hmm, I really did not mean to say that much on the subject but I suppose it needed to be said. So take your Disease Modifying Therapy(DMT, wear your protective underwear and the other things that "YOU" need to do on your ms journey and live well. This is a liveable llness. Annoying and comfusing, but "YOU" can do this.
