Your life with Relapsing Remitting ms (RRms) is up to “YOU” Perhaps not every part of it. It is a chronic progressive incurables illness after all, but the really important part is 100% totally all YOU. Not the disease progression what it may or may not do to your body but how “YOU” decide to handle it. Read that bit again. How”YOU” decide to handle your diagnosis (DX) of RRms is up to “YOU” “YOU” can certainly ignore it, quiver in a dark corner crying why me I can not do this. Or “YOU” most certainly can take the option I have preferred over my twenty plus years, and that is okay ms what have you got next I am ready for it bring it on. Maybe not quite as gang ho and silly but do “YOU” see my point?
I do not know why I have this illness or how I got it. Nobody can tell me exactly what to expect next, but I, and “YOU” most certainly can say in our heads. I have this and I will “DO” this. I will not be broken shattered swept into a corner and ignored. Things will happen to me, bad things painful things. Abilities will be lost, but I and “YOU” will come out the other side. Battered and bruised but that is what this illness does. Yes, most certainly a little worse for wear but still strong and believing in myself that I “CAN”. Others may not believe me, but within me and “YOU” burns a fire. A fire that warms gives me strength and lights the way along our lifelong path with RRms.
Is that not a much better way of looking at life with this condition? I do not know how or why I have it but I most certainly know that I and most certainly “YOU” can cope with live with thrive and have a long life with this condition. Under no circumstances are “YOU” beaten, bruised and a little shocked but never beaten. This is only RRms it is not as if it is fatal. There are proven treatments. There are lifestyle techniques there are things that “YOU” can do to minimise it. This is most certainly is something that “YOU” can do and of course I strongly urge “YOU” to do, and do well. After all it is your choice your life,
