Somebody just asked about disability, I answered them but I thought I might tell “YOU” as well.

Guarantee 1. One day your heart will stop pumping blood and “YOU” will pass. Guaranteed, and that is the only guarantee “YOU” are going to get. I disagree with death and taxes, some do not pay taxes, or pay so little it is really of no consequence, read Bezos, Zuckerburg, me. Not because I am wealthy but because I have nothing to tax. Them, well they have really good politicians and lawyers working for them.

There is NO guarantee that “YOU” will be disabled because of ms. Google is telling “YOU” LIES. Firstly let us define disabled. Have “YOU” got one. In a wheelchair, she who must be obeyed was in one. I pushed it and she was unable to drive. Yesterday she drove to her doctor's appointment and then another 3 hours home. We do that once or twice a week and she has had ms 23+ years. Some difficulty with little tasks but certainly not bedridden wetting herself or disabled. GoogleLIED.

Ask a variety of people with ms who have been consistently on Disease-Modifying Therapy (DMT) if they are disabled or if they think they are. After over 20 years I most certainly do NOT think I am. Not by a long shot. There most certainly are things that I can not do. I no longer shot consistent bullseyes on the shooting range. I no longer run long distances or jump creeks. Is this because I have ms and am disabled or because I am out of practice and do not try anymore. I am old you know.

Do not despair “YOU” are unlikely to be bedridden and unable to control your bladder or Bowel. “YOU” likely have years of walking ahead of “YOU”. Prima ballerina or back up dancer for Madonna maybe not, but again Google lied. “YOU” with today's medicine are unlikely to become disabled, whatever that is to “YOU. Be sensible about what "YOU" do and how "YOU" do it and "YOU most certainly CAN live with this illness and live a long happy time.

Take your DMT consistently and do not fear disability. It very likely will not come

Okay, go back to the guarantee no. 1: I just had a backup generator installed because we were tired of the electric going out and the contents of the refrigerators and freezers going bad, but also the basement flooding because of the sump pumps don't work without electricity. And the power always goes out when it really rains. Now I have to work on a backup heart? Do you know of any good ones? I would want it to automatically transfer over, because my previous electric backup solutions required me to do so, and you know how that goes.

Not what you're looking for?
