i'm approaching my "ms" anniversary and am way more in the acceptance mode. however, it still sometimes really blanks that i can't do what i used to do---go to political rallies, volunteer, attend parades, etc. etc.
but life is mostly good and i'm learning to do what i can with what i have! including asking for help when i need it! on this historic week, i have had family visiting and they do not totally understand the impact of the fatigue.

I've thought about this for a while. It's very thought provoking.
I suppose everyone asks themselves this question......"why did I get MS"? It can be a "why me" question or a scientific question...."what actually triggered MS in me?" I've asked both. It's been a little over three years since I've been dx. I've seen alot of changes in my life since then. But one thing I firmly believe is that I have MS for a reason....whether to teach me something or help me teach others something. A little of both, I believe. I choose to consider MS a different direction in my life. Something I had not banked on or considered but it's my reality now. I love a challenge and I try to find new and innovative ways to do things that I previously enjoyed but find it hard to do now. And if I help one person who is having a rough time of it.....whether they have MS or not......then to me it's all been worth it. Some days I curse it, others I find reasons to be thankful for it. But what it all comes down to is that this is me. Take it or leave it.
