maintaining is accomplishing

[Sandydemop]

I doubt myself. This morning was unusually hard with the cold and wet weather, even though I did not go out. It was difficult to get started this morning. But I am not special. Everyone has something. this is the thing that I have. Life goes on. When I exercise I feel like i am accomplishing something, even though it is small. My body is a little looser than when I started. Maintaining my strength is progress.

thanks Midgey_Midge06 I heard it somewhere so sharing it. Don't feel that way all the time. But it is a lot of work maintaining, right?

Been where you are. Fought for what seemed like forever. (Many years) But don't stop fighting, and trying to undo this thing we have. Look at my posts over the years. If you don't give up, keep fighting, make changes in what you put in your mouth, keep on pushing yourself as I did for 5.5 years with a cane, you can do it too. My neurologist, now just one, which I see at most once a year anymore, told me that what's happening to me, past relapses,... is not that unusual, for those who really try. It takes time, but it happens, with much effort.I just did a survey, from what I figured out was from a drug company, on spasticity and M.S.,

the symptoms list, shorter than the one in my neurologist's office, but again, I checked nearly all the have symptoms. My "gifts" from 23+ years of M.S. But now I walk 10K steps a day, no cane. Shovel snow myself, and for my elderly neighbors. And, I won't stop fighting this thing.

Even a few things doc's said they never get better, like deficits from 7 bouts of optic neuritis, gone! Don't give up. Fight it. Do everything you can do.

My advice I give, eat mainly fruits and veggies, with lean meats, fish....and by all means, stay away from processed foods. If you pick up something with ingredients you don't understand, can't pronounce, it's probably not going to kill you, but it probably is keeping you from fighting this thing, as well as all the many other auto-immune diseases that are growing and growing. Call tomorrow day 1, plan today what you are going to do tomorrow. And start doing it. It will take a very long time to see any results, but I'm not the only one who has done the same. Sorry, no pill, shot, infusion, hyperbaric chamber treatment, vitamin xyz, will do it.

But, I love to tell others what worked for me, and others I am told.

AND YES, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE!
