I am not your doctor or your therapist. What I write are my words based on my experiences and my interpretation of them. I will ONLY write about Relapsing-Remitting ms, because that is what I have and what I would like to think I know a little about. If “YOU” have another form of ms I may talk in very general terms, but I do not have or write with any expertise on your condition. My writings are meant to suggest can alternative path that “YOU” may follow. They seem to be repetitive but this is a changing family. “YOU” may have read it and understood it before, but somebody else may be new (newbie) to the family or may need to read it again. Your choice, nobody rates me on how many followers or such that I have, let alone pays me. I am totally independent and bloody minded (Stubborn).
Having said that, I will say something. Sometimes I am WRONG. If what I write does not sound right to “YOU” get a second and third opinion. I bet I was wrong, seek professional assistance. This is not to say for everything pop a pill as quick as “YOU” can. I am very very pro Disease-Modifying Therapy (DMT) but am rather anti, anti-depressants. Of course “YOU” are depressed “YOU” have an incurable chronic lifelong illness, most people would be somewhat upset about that. I would strongly say, do you think that antidepressants are going to make that go away? Maybe getting some positive strength into your environment might help. An attitude of this needs to be done, sitting on my hands and crying is not helping me at all. I am not saying to “YOU”, never cry. I have shed more than my fair share, lots for no reason at all. Tears can be stress relieving do not fear them.
Take the strength and courage that “YOU” have found along your mslife path and wrap yourself in it. Make it a warm comforting blanket and when it needs to be a hard turtle shell that “YOU” can retreat into when “YOU” need to.
This is not a simple, easy 2 aspirins and a lie down disease, this is serious. Look at yourself and ask “AM I TREATING IT THAT WAY” Do not wait and s, move now. Waiting and seeing ends up hurting nobody, but “YOU”

Of course do nothing I might be wrong
