I needed to shine the light on the fact that yes, I am an individual living with MS, but I refuse to let it shape the rest of my life and hold me back from doing the things I love to do. There is so much in life to enjoy and experience, so don’t let MS stand in your way. Never a dull moment in her life, she was diagnosed with MS in her senior year of high school in 2008. She believes that life is full of such amazing things, and she never wants to see anyone with an MS diagnosis giving up because they think they can’t handle it.
It’s not a miracle, it’s not a cure, but it is a tiny step towards “better than yesterday. It also seems that the teacher did not see the humor, or validity, in our son’s group’s decision that eating three Popeye’s Chicken biscuits without a glass of water was a serious punishment (Google it, it’s actually a thing). Maybe standing by Mike’s side as he has battled this disease has made me worse of a parent, but as I sit here and work out the math of how we can pay out of pocket for this prescription, I’m having a difficult time grasping the seriousness of an ill received biscuit joke. Don’t get me wrong, our kid will march into that classroom and apologize to his teacher about not taking the work seriously, and he will redo the assignment, but if this is the worst thing that happens today, this week, this month, then we’re all in pretty good shape.
Fighting MS with Everything You Have MS saved my life. You don’t think about things like driving and grocery shopping before MS. From participating in Walk MS to volunteering in my community to living my healthiest life, I’m going to fight this disease with everything I have, and I want to help others do the same. I’m not the woman I was before MS, but that doesn’t make me any less.
I didn’t like the way I felt with the extra weight I had put on. My first thought as I was running was - next time, I’m going to do this early in the morning to avoid the crowds of onlookers giggling at my running form, or lack thereof. I wasn’t told I had MS and woke up the next morning unable to run. The other day as I was limping home, it dawned on me, I might never compete in an actual marathon but, each day with MS, I’m running my own kind of marathon.
