19 Aug 2023 Good Morning

[RoyceNewton]

G'day Relapsing-remitting ms (RRms) family. I hope YOU are having a good day, learning to cope with your newfound illness, especially if YOU are a newbie (newly diagnosed). YOU will be okay. Yes, it takes some adjusting, a few changes in plan, and a new outlook, BUT YOU can cope with this illness. Just slowly allow yourself. Easy to say but we do lose first spouses, maybe the second one is out there somewhere. Mine was, 20+ years after my DX (Diagnosis) I know where she sleeps every night, still. Your somebody might still be out there looking for YOU, as well.

Relax a little, find your DMT (Disease-Modifying Therapy), and take it per instructions. Accept it, and do not fight it. This is your life now.

Be well, and be at ease. This is a long journey we face, BUT YOU can do it.

Royce

Happy to say I did not "lose my first spouse"

What an awful thing to say, Royce😣🙄 especially to a newbie

[RoyceNewton in reply to starlight5]

we all face a reality, RRms can get worser is it fair to say that? I thought we were here to be realistic and as we can warn people of possible futures. I would rather be honest we are adults after all.

yes i am with my one and ownly but it has been really hard at times... yes lots have waked out on some ,it is so sad but some are not strong when it comes to living with someone that is disabled ...sometimes they are actually happier without that spouse for the stress of it is gone ...so don't give him a bad time for mentioning it ...i think it is some thing that they do have to realize ...hopefully it doesn't happened but this is to say that it does happen ...love and happiness really does help with living with this or any other disease ...take care...
