Batman, very well put...
Doctors have a narrow set of protocols when it comes to MS, since it is so tricky and does mimic other diseases. Time and listing major symptoms is the friend of the doctor and patient...but as a patient who had these symptoms for years before a major spasm put me on the diagnosed side, I know how scary and frustrating it is, wondering what the heck is going on in our body.
It is easy for me to say "Live your life to your fullest, no matter what the symptoms do..." But even if we are on the diagnosed side of things, we have to live that advice also. Time is short, life zips by, and I know I don't want to be on my deathbed regretting spending so much time thinking about what is wrong with me...granted, the symptoms occasionally make that mandatory, but I try to live a full life, in spite of my symptoms.
Eat a good daily diet, try to get some exercise, even if it's only a walk up and down your street, spend some quiet time getting in touch with your inner self, and as I said list your symptoms and how you feel in a log. but most of all, try to live your best life, no matter what...today is all we have...
Hugs to you...know that those who come here get support, hugs, an occasional laugh and knowledge that they are not alone...
