G'day my siblings. "YOU" and I are sick. We will never get better, no matter what we take or what we do. We have a choice to dwell in our sickness. To let it smother and crush us, grind us into the dirt OR, we can cry, brush ourselves off and start doing what has to be done to live. It is quite okay to cry as need be. To be forlorn and very unhappy. It is very okay, there is no time limit upon your tears. I give "YOU" complete permission to use them as you desire.
"YOU" are allowed to cry, "YOU" are allowed to be unhappy, to hurt. "YOU" have permission. "YOU" have been authorised. Make use of this permission, use it as long as 'YOU" like, there is no time limit.
When your crying eases a little, start making a very fluid plan for your very long life. Be aware that "YOU" now have a chronic, incurable illness. That does not mean your Relapsing-Remitting ms will progress to Secondary Progressive or any other type of ms. What it means is that damage will accumulate. The illness has a habit of attacking the same area, I do not know why, ask your medical professional.
"YOU" have a lot ahead of "YOU". Search for hope but try to be realistic. There is no cure. "YOU" will have ms for life. Try very hard to make it a good, happy life. It is possible..."YOU" just have to make the effort and choose sunshine over the darkness.
Royce (your ms writer)
I can not make the choice for you., The choice is yours.
