Relapsing Remitting ms (RRms) is up to YOU”, nobody else but “YOU”. I am not suggesting that “YOU” gave it to yourself or that somehow “YOU”” caught it by jumping into a cold pool or any such silliness, I was actually told this by an evil mother in law long ago. Maybe on a more spiritual level it was decided that in this life “YOU” would get to learn about living with disability but that is another conversantion. One which I will have privately not in a group setting, at least not today. See I actually do not tell everybody everything all the time.
Anyway back to the topic. RRms is up to “YOU” How “YOU” choose to live with it, the Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT) that “YOU” take the lifestyle choices that “YOU” live with day to day the outside influences that occur in your daily life are up to “YOU” At any point “YOU” can change them and make them more wholesome and happier . There is a lot of ridiculous ugliness in the world today, I do not see a need to subject yourself to it. I have said wear your protective underwear. You may never need it and I certainly hope that “YOU” do not, but why subject yourself to the risk when “YOU” do not have to. Ever thought how “YOU” might feel if one day if “YOU” walk out of an air-conditioned building into a warm outside and your bladder decides to let go. Five minutes earlier “YOU” did not need to go, then. Make your choice, do I take a step to protect myself or suffer the consequences, am I even mentally strong enough to suffer those consequences. This a wild variable chronic condition. There are consequences to decisions that we make. I am suggesting that slowing down a little and thinking first takes practise but it may become your longterm friend.
Nobody can “DO” this condition for “YOU”. It is all yours so start by making decisions that will make your life easier. Perhaps not easier but at least not as hard as it can be. The less that “YOU” pay attention to your ms the worse it may be in the longterm, and the person who suffers is, guess who. “YOU” That Neurologist (Neuro) that says lets wait and see will never take the pain embarrassment suffering away if it ever strikes. Be smart, be your own advocate, do things to make your life more liveable. There is no need to sit in that cold dark corner crying, just stand strong and make decisions for yourself. Accept others advice, rudely ignoring people is never polite but make your own mind up. Do what is good for “YOU” and if “YOU” do not know what is good for “YOU” ask, and keep asking until “YOU” get an answer that “YOU” can live with. After all it is your life, your decision.
