Hi Sally.

I agree that this doesn't change our reality. But for me it changed my perception somewhat. Rather than thinking my body was working against me and hurting me, this reminded me that my body is really trying hard to fix the damage. It's not the enemy, it's working feverishly to try to repair as much as it can.

So I guess I feel more connected with my body knowing that it IS working to make me as complete as possible... it DOES understand the damage and hasn't lost the ability to try to fix it. It's remyelinating as fast as it can to try to overcome the damage that's going on.

It's not a miracle cure but I felt good to know that my body was on my side too. Don't worry, if I find the study that cures this, I will have an even BIGGER subject line to draw attention to it!

I'm glad to see so many views on this thread. Maybe we can all help try to build this forum into something special. I kinda like it here.
