I think the problem is that I am just much more aware of my body -- too hyper-aware. For example, I may have numbness in my foot and freak out thinking oh boy, it's the MS, it's progressing, I'm getting worse, new symptom, holy cow, what do I do? panic, panic, panic. Then I realize well hey, I was sitting on my foot the wrong way on the couch for an hour and maybe that's why it's tingling.

I'm glad to know that over time less seems to rattle some of you. I know ultimately you have to learn to go with the flow and just "be" with the disease. I'm just resisting because maybe I'm still stinking mad I got this crappy disease!! And sometimes the fear just overwhelms me and I'd like to be able to take a break from it now and then. Maybe that also changes over time??
