Keep the attitude, but adjust your physical expectations of yourself at the same time. Everything in moderation . . .

I was/am SO LIKE YOU ARE SAYING about yourself. But, also, listen to Cheri. For me, her point was well taken a few weeks back. I have ALWAYS bulldozed my through everything, for the past several years, before I new I had something that needed to be dx'd. I literally about killed myself. This has been quite an adjustment for me.

I have not, and will not, just cower down to this MS. But I have had to become realistic. Because, for me, I had to admit that it is not going away. But it is also not going to be the death of me.

You have such a great attitude and I'm not sure what where in the disease you are. So I don't want to sound negative. But, just to say, along the way... BE KIND TO YOURSELF... REPRIORITIZE WHEN AND WHERE YOU NEED TO... and STILL you can be the one to rise victorious over the MS. You sound like a great, strong lady.... you definitely will not let it get the best of you.... But don't let YOU get the best of you, either!!! Just make gentle adjustments as needed!

I hope this helps, I wouldn't want to come off negatively for you. Take care of your self! You have a lot of wise folks here at NT to help!

If it would help, the following address is to the "Crumbling" thread I posted, that I got a lot of help on from Cheri and a lot of other wonderful people here.
