Unnumbered post Do not be scared 27 Feb 2021

Beloved ms family, especially "YOU" newbies (newly diagnosed) DO NOT BE SCARED. This illness that we all have is sneaky, it is a little different for everybody, but it is very LIVEABLE. Different, painful, embarrassing, yes BUT LIVEABLE. "YOU" can do this. Tears do not make "YOU" weak or giving up on the illness. We are all HUMAN, situations affect us all differently. How "YOU" live with your ms is up to "YOU", I make no judgement.

I WILL say often and loudly, we can not cure ourselves of this condition but we can modify it by taking the of the mane Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMT). Yes, some involve needles, cope I did and "YOU" can as well. Go for the strongest that "YOU" can legally get. Ocrevus, I believe it is called. Waiting to see what happens, is VERY WRONG. The damage that ms does to your body, happens to "YOU", nobody else. What might "YOU" like to lose, while "YOU" wait and see?

DO NOT BE SCARED, "YOU", will be okay. There will be challenges, but think a little and "YOU" will be able to blunder your way through this ms life. I have for 20+ years, and I am no expert in any way shape or form.

Royce (your ms writer and Brother)

YOU can cope with this challenge, honestly, YOU CAN

you do give lots of help for others but like you say and remind everyone it is different for everyone but it does help to read about how others do deal with it...so glad you are here for us to make comments to or to ask some dumb questions to ask our doctor about if we are having different things going on that we never had before ...yes we need to talk to our doctors but it is nice to realize we aren't loosing it by some weird stuff...thank you for making us feel at easy ...i have had since 2004 well that is when they said what was wrong we me ahhahahah,,,.. just like others we really don't know how long it has been around it just reared its head then ...ahhahaha...yes my life is different but ha it is still life ...love and happiness...take care and be safe....
