G'day Sisters and Brothers. It will be okay, honest. No, YOU truly will be. Sit down, take a deep breath or three, have a sip of tea or coffee or water and pull yourself together. This will not pass, do not be fooled by that BUT it CAN be managed. Read it again and again, memorize it. If there is one thing that I want YOU to learn from me, is that YOU and I can manage this disease.
Neither of can cure our Relapsing Remitting ms (RRms) but everyday in someway we can manage how it affects us. There are many RRms medicines available today, taking one exactly as it is prescribed is a really good way of doing something positive for our RRms. Giving YOU some control over your situation. It is NOT a cure, there is NO CURE but it is something. I would recommend taking the strongest medicine that YOU can legally get. There will be side effects, this is medicine after all, but YOU can learn to cope with the side effects. Do not make excuses, do NOT fall for miracle cure scammers, go to a reputable national ms website and read their suggested options for newly diagnosed (newbies) for that is what YOU are, and will be for several years, and that is okay.
IT WILL BE OKAY, YOU WILL BE OKAY, JUST ADJUST TO YOUR NEW NORMAL AND TAKE YOUR DMT(Disease Modifying Therapy, and try not to fall for scammers. YOU will, most people do, I think I did, the wife did. Yes she has RRms as well. We are an RRms family.
Today, take this away. YOU can live with RRms. It means changing things, honestly most everything BUT YOU CAN do this. Believe in yourself. YOU are very much capable, just take it slowly, one day at a time. Except your DMT, start that today if not yesterday, the earlier the better. YOU will be on it for the rest of your very long life. The stats I have seen suggest we should live into our eighties depending upon or country so take your DMT and live those years to your best.
