Just the facts and nothing but the facts madam. Was that not that from some movie.? I would like to say somebody but I can not remember his name. Like I would, I barely bother to remember anybodies name. I am rather lazy like that.
Okay, for “YOU” the facts my friend, this may hurt but I will tell “YOU” the truth whenever I can. There is no cure for our disease, Relapsing Remitting ms (RRms) Yes I can spell multiple sclerosis I just do not like to. RRms is much smaller than Relapsing Remiting multiple sclerosis. Silly but is a coping mechanism Just like DMT (Disease Modifying Therapy) or ABC’s (Avonex Betaseron\Betaferon. Copaxone) or Tec (Tecfidra) is. Make things smaller easier to handle and come to terms with. I do not start at 150 kilogram (300 pounds) weight at the gym. I start lower and work my way up. This is how “YOU” should handle your RRms. start slow and take every advantage that comes your way. Eventually “YOU” will learn how to manipulate your environment to make your life easier. This will be an ongoing process and “YOU” will make mistakes, your heart most likely will be broken. None of us are perfect or have perfect relationships. e are Homo Sapiens (hs) and we live in a far from perfect society. Not really sure I would recognize it even if I was in one. If somebody is or does, please let me know.
Anyway, on to the ugly truth as I said there is no cure. DMT is designed to slow the progression of our companion, not to cure it. Think for a moment, how can something be cured if it is not even known what causes it. STOP, read that again, and again. Has it sunk in yet? How can I, “YOU” expect anybody to fix me if they are not aeven sure of what causes my problem. Symptoms yes, causes sorry no not yet.
Twenty plus years and several opioid over doses I wish I could tell “YOU” differently but I can not. This is a life long condition, it will never go away, very sadly from my understanding it only gets worse. I am sorry, wow far to much apologizing today. That is our condition, BUT “YOU” can actually do a great deal to make your worsening slower, and this most certainly applies to all of us with RRms. I am not sure the other forms as I do not have them, nor really looked into them at all.
For RRms, check out the newly diagnosed (newbies) posts, I have written then apply them to “YOU” , “YOU” do not have to be new at this to find some inspiration and maybe some new techniques. It is quite okay to have forgotten things. It happens RRms or not. Just, never your spouses birthday, that is unforgivable.
Most importantly after you 100 percent compliance with you DMT instructions. Change your attitude to feeling weak to one of strength resilience and I can do this. Then “DO IT” read some philosophy books, I like Eastern techniques. Learn about diets, exercise, resilience. Read about prisoners in military camps. How did they get through what they went through. They are hs just like “YOU” remember they got through it, so can “YOU” Do it in a positive way of course. I do no want to hear about a mass shooting inspired by me No be positive, this is unfortunate but it is our lot in this life. Be good, be happy , be positive, take your medicine. Make your Neurologist (Neuro) happy to see how well “YOU” are doing. If “YOU’ are not maybe fake it a little, not a lot just a tiny bit. Let them be glad t6o see you.
