Good day, Relapsing-Remitting ms (RRms) family. I hope the day sees YOU well and happy, at least content. I should be exercising but YOU are more important, perhaps some exercise throughout the day, writing and coffee first.
Okay, let's paint a picture. YOU are standing at the top of a very steep mountain top, YOU look around and the view is magnificent, YOU can see for miles and miles. You notice a noise behind you and suddenly an almighty shove. You can not catch yourself and YOU are sliding down the very steep hill.
WELCOME to life with RRms. YOU can not stop yourself, YOU, like me are on a downhill slide to who knows what.
Now. YOU have a series of choices to make. Are YOU, going to do something to slow yourself going downhill, or are YOU going to do nothing, Your choice, it is all your choice. Remembering nobody can cure your RRms, merely slow down your speed a little, but we all are going downhill. Cry as much as you need to, kick a hole in the wall, but YOU are human, this is a very strange human disease and YOU, like me have it.
Start making choices to slow down your slide. Choose a Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT), clean up your diet, no need to give yourself more problems later on. Exercise, stretch keep yourself strong and limber. If YOU have managed to do these things YOU are on a good start. YOU will. hit rocks and bumps along your slide, hopefully, YOU can avoid some of them, not all, but some. This is a downhill slide we are on, we cannot get off, but we carefully can slow down the pace of our slide.
On your slide take time to look around. There are many interesting, dare I say wonderful things to see and experience. I would never have met she who must be obeyed without RRms, would not be as close to some of my family or as far away from some ith RRms not in my life. Yes, there are good bits as well as bad. Learn from all of them. Some things have a lesson some maybe not, but never stop looking at your situation. can I learn something here, what is the lesson to learn? I suggest learning from RRms. Do not look at it as a horrible curse afflicting YOU, perhaps more as a learning experience. If not for YOU then for your family even others.
Be at ease with your RRms, constantly fighting for 20 30 40 years I feel is a little difficult. Look at your RRms not as a curse and a monster but as a sneaky trickster trying to upset YOU whenever it can.
Look to make RRms as inconvenient and a nuisance even boring as quickly as YOU can. It will be better for YOU in the long term, so choose well.
, and your happiness in the long term is the goal.
