Well said Cindy and everyone. My answer is "Ditto".

When I was first dx'ed I saw it as a blessing. I was working full time and going to school at night. I was burning myself out.

MS has allowed me to take a step back and pick and choose what I want to focus on. It has taught me to say NO and not feel bad or guilty (most of the time).

Not working has brought me to crochet and sudoku puzzles, both which have kept me calm and distract me from my pain for a moment.

All of you have been the best "gain". I feel less alone and know that the most bizarre sx to me, is felt by someone else somewhere in this great big world. One day I hope to meet a whole bunch of you too.

Life is good!
