I'm with you all, too ..

and I had to make some MAJOR adjustments to my attitude about the MS, my feelings, my pain ... it's very hard to stay home!!

BUT, I use to be on the go ... even on my days OFF from work - I'd be running here and there ... trying to get this or that done .. run run run!!

then, the MS - and got this 'can't do it' feeling/attitude ... well, that wasn't helping me ....

researched on my own ... vitamins & meds ... and was disgusted spending/going to doctors than it was to see my friends ... .. so, now, when I have a 'doctor' appt ... I also make an appt to visit with a friend - and sometimes it's as simple as dropping them an email or write a little note (remember all those cute notecards from CURRENT?)

there's alot that I don't do anymore .... and alot of it is "so what" ... I am going to do enjoy each minute of the day ... it doesn't have to be superbowl antics of cheer or ecstatic ... just a simple: this is me, I like me ... and it's OKAY that I can't, don't want to, get everything done ... I'm okay with that ...

yes, the MS is a disease ... but, it's NOT me ... I have it - so, be it ... I told my girlfriend the other day that with all the new meds I'm on - that by the time I'm dead .. I'll be a NEW person!! LOL

Yes, B2Y ... I get like that, too ... I like my 'little' world ... you are SPECIAL .. I love to read your posts .. and try to help with words as much as I can (same goes for the others .. almost wrote "otters")

even when I can't get something done THAT day - it's okay ... "for tomorrow, the sun will rise ... who knows what the tide may bring!" ... Tom Hanks - Castaway ...

hugs and love to all!!
