MS is a strange animal. Have they figured out what type of MS she has? Either way I realize that is hard to deal with as well. But remember many people with MS do manage, even if they have to deal with some degree of disability.

I am having trouble getting through each day. I have to push myself and lately I am wondering if I might am overdoing it ... but anyway, my point is we just need to get through each day, somehow. or each hour. or sometimes just even accept the present moment so we can get to the next present moment. sometimes that's all we can do.

i wonder if you can try to approach life this way for a while, and remember i am trying to do that right along with you. and please, remember to give yourself credit for getting through each day, hour, minute, or moment that is difficult, or haunting for you.

sending you good thoughts your way.

Hi Waves. Yes it's a day,to hour,to minute,by minute thing. I feel uninterested in hobbies,movies,and things that usually make me feel ok.

My sister has a progressive type of MS. Some people go into remission with MS,and don't have problems for awhile. It's not that way with my sister. She can only use one arm now. She doesn't have depression. She said that I got all of that from our family,and she got the MS gene from mother's side,or something like that. BF
