Unnumbered post Be calm and gentle with yourself 27 Sep 2020

[RoyceNewton]

G'day my beloved ms family. "YOU" need to hear it again, and again. Maybe the first time maybe for the hundredth.

BE CALM, take your time. accept your failures, rejoice in your achievements. This illness affects your body not just your mind. "YOU" are not bad, "YOU" are not being punished, "YOU" are not cursed. This is a human disease, "YOU" are human therefore "YOU" can get it. There are a number of treatments. They will not cre "YOU" and make it go away. NOTHING will, I do not like to say it because after 20+ years the same is true for me. We have this until we pass. Between now and then find things and ways to make yourself stronger. Things "YOU" had not planned for will happen, no matter how "YOU" plan.

Be gentle this is a rollercoaster disease, UPS and down. Ride them with strength, do not panic, do not give up on yourself. "YOU" can do this disease. It need not beat "YOPU"

Royce (your ms writer and brother)

Have faith and confidence in yourself. YOU can do this ms life

Thanks Royce. When I have a bad walking day I get very irritable. MS does me. My confidence goes out the window. Have faith? I am exercising blah blah blah, doing all the right things but my attitude sucks. Open to suggestions.

Good post, Royce! Always

I have my good days and not so good days. I try to not dwell on the latter... Keep Smiling

Thank you Royce. Your post made me smile. That's quite an achievement considering the fact I had to have a Covid test today.
