Not everything is RRms

No, most certainly not. Not everything happening in your body, every fear in your mind and ache in your body and life is Relapsing Remitting ms(RRms). Most certainly somethings are but no, not everything so there is no need to panic. Learn yourself, watch what “YOU” are doing. I know they are difficult to read but those warning labels in your medicine are actually there for a reason. I will admit to rarely reading mine, but whenever the chemist\pharmacist ask I have any questions I certainly do. I have difficulty reading the form, and they know what I take, how often and that I have RRms. So I ask, often. They also know I like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. When I have the time it is always fun to discuss our latest theory. Social interaction, always an important thing to have.

On the point of social interaction. This morning at the gym I watched two young ladies doing some leg work. I was not sure why and what they were exercising so I asked. I learned two new techniques that I can use. Of course, I will look them up online so I get the technique perfect, but I did learn something. I did not introduce myself or ask their names, only about the exercise. It cost me nothing I thanked them and wished them a nice day, being a little wiser, which is a good thing.

Of course, I am sore and tired but that is not because of my RRms. I am sore because I had not been to the gym in two weeks. A record for me as I go at least once a week for the last twenty years. My friend was sick and he drives. I could have used my scooter to get there, but I am not really comfortable on the roads anymore. Drivers in this city are crazy. Yellow does not mean slow down around here. It means to speed up. So no gym for a few weeks.

No, not every single issue is RRms reminding us that it is here. As “YOU” learn your body and your individual RRms “YOU” will recognize what “YOU” can and can not do. Let your body tell “YOU” this. “NOT” others and try it twice because RRms likes to make you think that “YOU” can not do things. It is part of its control over “YOU” that it likes to exert. Your strength always lies within your knowledge, of yourself, your medicines and of your illness naturally your determination and steadfastness help a lot as well.

the more knowledgeable that “YOU are the more power “YOU” have and that is a very good thing.

Not everything is RRms sometimes it is just plain laziness

Sometimes I think the MS hug is squeezing tighter, until I take Pepcid and it turns out to be GERD...still...sometimes it’s just hard to tell what the heck is going on...as long as my breathing is not compromised...I don’t dwell...I just busy myself or go to the gym...or better yet...hug my sweet grandson! Nice post RoyceNewton...🦋🌺
