Calm down it will be okay

[RoyceNewton]

Calm down, have a cry. Wipe away your tears my sister\brother it will be okay, seriously. It might even be good, that depends upon “YOU”. A diagnosis(DX) of Relapsing Remitting ms(RRms) today is not all bad. Nobody can cure “YOU” but there are treatments to slow your disease progression,(it does progress, read that again) Disease Modifying Therapies(DMT). pick the strongest that “YOU” can take and take it religiously. There will be side effects do not be scared. I would be hesitant of any medicine that may kill me, but that is just me. It is your choice.

Do not expect to have it all together in a week, “YOU” most certainly will not. Do not expect to see incredible results within a week of starting treatment. Tone down your expectations. This is a life long chronic incurable condition. “YOU” like me will be buried with this illness in “YOU” I am sorry to say that to “YOU”, but it is the truth as much as “YOU” may not want tp hear it. I am sorry just being honest.

Having given “YOU” the bad here is the not so bad. This is today a very DOABLE disease. there is pain and fear but there also can be great happiness. I know of several women who have had babies, and are enjoying motherhood. I know of many couples that met, found love and companionship through having RRms. I actually now people who have had a very healthy sex life. I know of women who claimed there best orgasms have occurred since having RRms. So it most certainly is not all bad. Remember nobody can tell “YOU” how it what will happen the best they can do is say these things happen and they may happen to “YOU, or they MAY NOT, none of us are exactly alike so what happens to me may not happen to you.

Do your research into the disease, i recommend Dr Alan foster or Booster I can never remember. The msGym is a good place as well. “YOU” found this place and I have always found msAA people to be very helpful. Calm down wipe away the tears for a moment and try not to attempt to solve your life in one week.

I forgot. Get on Amazon and buy some protective underwear, Depends is my brand if “YOU” do not know what I mean. Bladders and Bowels can be messy with RRRms. The last thing that “YOU” need is to soil yourself in public, around the house who cares, walking out of the grocery store no way, protect yourself.

Sit back now and relax and have a think about how you want your life to be, then make it happen. Sorry you can not go back to life without RRms.

Great post! When you get knocked down, have a personal pity party, or 2, or 3, or as many as you want, beat up your pillow, cry, scream, whatever. Just don't forget to come up swinging afterwards and keep on keeping on.
