Denial, non acceptance, head in the sand

I think that everybody would be very correct in saying that I do NOT have this issue. Never have, never will. Annoyance yes, I still occasionally wish for a hard long lasting erection, but I am pretty sure that those nights are a thing of the past. Long ago past, but my memory still sort of works and I can remember what it was like. At least sort of remember and I can accept that.

I am really unsure of why when an individual gets a diagnosis (DX) why “YOU” would ever be anything less than. “Okay I know what is wrong, now, I can not fix it but how do I live with it WELL?” I assume that is the sitting in the dark corner crying or turning facing the world pulling your shoulders back, straightening yourself and striding down the path of somebody traveling along a multiple sclerosis(ms) life path.

I do not and never have thought that denial non acceptance head in the sand is the way to go. “YOU” have ms “you “ have been tested “YOU” have been diagnosed (Dx’d) That is unfortunate and “YOU” can consider yourself unlucky but this is where “YOU” are, these are your facts and your lot in life. NOW go forth and make the absolute total best of your remaining many many years on this earth. Time is not on your side to to be embarrassed or ashamed. I might ask why are “YOU” embarrassed or ashamed? Is being like me that bad? I think perhaps “YOU” insult me a little. I lead a very good life, I like to think I have friends. One or two I have actually met in real life :-) I would be even willing to offer “YOU” a virtual hand of friendship.

I understand that not everybody easily copes with this DX, but I will say now and again. This is a doable condition. Yes, you have ms, bu there is never a reason for “YOU t”o let ms have “YOU” Your being ashamed and embarrassed is letting ms have “YOU” think about that.

Cry your tears, kick the wall, yell why me get it out of your system and just start DOing your ms life the best way that you can.

We are indeed blessed in that we have so much available to assist us in living our life that best that we can, despite our 'ms' diagnosis. :-D

Despite or in spite, I use both these phrases to convey my thoughts to paper. 'ms' is there, and everyone should do their best, to live as best that can. :-D
