When I was first diagnosed I read everything I could find on MS. Most of it was on the Internet. And I probably talked myself into most of the symptoms I read about! It's just inevitable. But, in reality, I really only had a few of them. The more I read, the more I thought I would eventually end up with them all. And that's just not the case. I've learned that each of us, although we share a disease "name", each experience a totally different course. I've learned to take what I read with a grain of salt and realize that my MS is unique to me. It's taken a while but I've relaxed quite a bit and just take each day as it comes. Worrying about what tomorrow or even next week holds is just a waste of time and energy.
