Every single day is a new day in your life with Relapsing Remitting ms (RRms Obvious , but very true. Do “YOU” know what that means. It is a new twenty-four hour period in which “YOU” get to make choices that will make your ms journey easier and better in some way. It is a twenty-four hour period in which “YOU” get to learn more about yourself and this affliction that we have. It is a twenty-four hour period in which “YOU” can make so much occur, or nothing at all. That is your choice. Life is full of choices and RRms is one of them. Not that we do or do not have it but the choice as to how we live with it.
There is certainly time for tears hurt fear and anger, but there is also a time to let those negative energies go. Not all of us can let them go totally. Many of them will be pushed back further in our mind. Not front and centre every day. That is okay we are only human. I am scared that Trigeminal Neuralgia will come back one day, it only works for five years between surgeries and there was a limit on how many surgeries that I can have, but ask me exactly when I had the surgery, I do not know. I can not even give “YOU” the year. It just was because it is. A nonsense statement for a nonsense affliction.
RRms does not have enough power over me to control every aspect of my life. What it does have influence over, is what I let it because it makes me stronger and gives me purpose. What I do not want it to have control over, I find tools and techniques to weaken it. I take my Disease Modifying therapy (DMT) because it weakens RRms hold over me. It keeps me on my feet and at the gym. These are good things and though I intensely dislike needles I still did them to keep me on my feet. I am at my standing desk typing this, on my feet, thank you very much DMT.
RRms is a challenge, but there are usually ways that “YOU” can make a choice to just do a little better, choose to make your internal fire burn a tiny little bit stronger. There is no reason for “YOU” to sit in that dark corner weeping for years. Make a choice to go outside, enjoy nature and live with your RRms. There is always a choice to be made. Think of yourself, and perhaps somebody else and make a choice that “YOU” can be proud to say was yours.
