Typical day after my 2 hour gym workout: chest & back. Sore, duh! 80 plus sets. I don’t know if it's my hard work or MS. duh! Back to crawling. Watching my wife get ready for work. Bitter sweet because I get to watch my beautiful best friend but it means I get to be alone for the next 9 hours. I hate that. Sometimes I feel like a little boy, trying to learn how to walk again,' wearing Depends "briefs" which are really fancy adult diapers. Sure they beat the alternative but call a spade a spade. So many things I will never do again that I always loved; hiking the mountains, mountain & road biking, motorcycling, heck just driving!!!! You DO get used to it but sometimes you might wish this was a "terminal" disease because @ least then you would know how much time you had left. I AM happy to be alive & have a beautiful loving friends like Lauren of the greater purpose project.com. Don't ever give up or into it. I don't & never will. My wife came up with a new meaning for M.S. : MY STUD. I try to live up to that flattering nick-name (: Peace to all.

I am a 64 year old female, I was diagnosed of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2008 (MRI), my symptoms started out with severe fatigue, poor balance, numbness, double vision, heat intolerance and anxiety. I was unable to go back to work, I tried Betaseron for about 6 years. Tried every shot available, all made me sick.

Rather than letting it define me- I'm redefining what it means to live with these diseases. If I can look on the bright side...So can you! ArchivesCategories |
