Pud all RRMS does not turn into SPMS in 10 years for everyone. That is a fact.

That said, everyone has good and bad days, whether they have MS or not. Some may have another disease/disorder. Normal (meaning non-MS) people have bad days too. It's life my friend. Sometimes it's a beach!

What I do is sort of denial.. I mean, I can write about MS, talk about it, read about it, see films or discuss it openly, but I don't put myself in the box.

Like:
|MS|
*ME*

I try to forget about it. I can't wake up every morning wondering what will be working or not each day. That would drive me up a wall. I used to do that but found it so stressing. I had to learn to turn the thoughts off, even with whatever the day brings. It will bring it anyway, so why stress about it.

I know you are new to this, but if you start trying this out early it might help your well being. It is hard to stop thinking about MS but put it somewhere in your mind out of reach. A special box. You can retrain your brain. Remember you are, what you think you are. Think positive as hard as you can.

I hate to sound all knowing, because I am far from that. I just try to help where, when, and who I can, if at all possible, from having MS so long. I have had a very bumpy road believe me, W/C at times included.

I hope you can understand I wish you the very best with your crapola symptoms and bad days, but don't think the worst, it may not ever happen. Even the worst PWMS, hit plateaus and go no further in the disease process.

Pet your beautiful horses and think wonderful thoughts. All animals help heal people, in mind and body.

Your last written line sounds very positve to me. Good news!
