It’s been about a week since the Neurologist told me that it’s looking pretty clear that I have Multiple Sclerosis. This world is not new to me as my Aunt had MS and ultimately was her demise. I am still unsure on how I am feeling about this right now. I was scared and angry then I decided that the only logical thing to do is to get as healthy as I can, exercise my brain as much as I can and try to keep on top of “life.”
Easier said than done, I juggle a full time job at a steel mill, I take care of my 30 year old brother who has Bi-Polar disorder and Schizophrenia. That alone is a mountain at times and then I have my sweet Richard who has been my back bone the last few months when things started to fall apart inside of me he has been there to ease and comfort me. He sometimes does not understand how great a toll all of this new information, diagnosis and the general unwell feeling are taking. I give him credit as he truly tries to understand. He recently undergone a hip replacement, he wore his out professional water skiing when he was in his teens and early twenties. I was his Nurse, cook, housekeeper, laundry maid and cant forget the cat box cleaner. :) So I suppose its tit for tat, for better or worse. (Were not married)
I certainly don’t know what to expect and if I read all WebMD has surely I will be dead by tomorrow. sensory overload when it comes to the internet as well as information that is almost always the worst of the worst. I started this page to try to express things and document all that I am and will go through also an outlet for things that I cannot say aloud.
