Seems I have to think of it every day too. Any day that involves any walking, and they all do, means having to focus on my stride so don't hit the pavement face first. Whether or not it gets me down depends on how prevalent the symptoms are though.

I think about it daily, but there are moments in time when I forget that I have it & how refreshing those seconds or minutes are!

Since I am still working, MS is a constant reminder. When I have time off, I somehow think I will feel better. Then I realize, when I don't feel much better, that it is still there no matter where or when. This is a bit discouraging. I don't think about how I felt before all of this....not sure why, but it was a different life, so I can't relate with it. A scripture that has offered me assurance is Psalm 41, 1-3. I was distraught when first diagnosed and prayed often. When I opened my bible, this was the first thing I saw. Take care.

Wisconsin - nah you still think about it with each step you take working or not. I am not working but hate to go out for fear I will not know where the nearest bathroom is or stumble or have a panic attack. This lovely disease - the one that just keeps on giving. NO there is not a day or even an hour that goes by that I do not think I have the disease and this is continuous for 10 years now so I guess it isn't going to get any better. Sorry.

nope think about it everyday...but im finally over the crying while thinking about it part :)

Hi, It's amazing!! This morning when I woke up, this is the first thing I thought about. I realized every minute of my day is controlled by ms. Everything I can or can't do, and those change every hour. Sun too bright, too hot, no bathrooms, too steep, no ramps, music too loud, people bumping into walker, spasticity, pills, more pills, exercise, eating with tremors, shower with gummy legs, so yes every minute I'm reminded I am sick,,,,,and then I look at my daughter and know I'm not alone with this challenges and feelings. Love Alma

thank you for sharing your comments. I do try each day to keep the positive thoughts in check, and I do trust that God is in charge and control. I just know that I do "think" about MS things everyday.

I have the issue of having pain on the entire right side of my body, I hurt if I "touch" it with anything...whether it be pulling on socks, or bumping into a wall...or even crossing my legs. It hurts if anyone ever gives me a hug, or even a shoulder squeeze. So, yes, those things keep MS as a constant reminder.
I was just wondering if I was alone in my thought life...always knowing that MS is a huge part of my life.
Thank you each for sharing. I am sorry that MS has become our constant companion.

Hi, I live like you big faith in God and I haven't allowed ms to take my happiness, cheerfulness, trying to be fun & loving ME. Sometimes my daughter and I just look at each other and laugh at that invisible someone who keeps pushing us, trying to make us fall ( lack of balance) and things like that. Sometimes she gets sad when I'm not well and I always make a funny remark to ease her mind. I worry that if she sees me unwell, she will fear for herself. Live, Love, Laugh, Alma

Not a day nor an hour goes by where I don't think bout it.when I wake up with crazy stiffness crappy feelin to a constant battle to get up up n walk like a regular person..I too have crazy sensitivity in my left leg..no one touches it n I cant even place my phone on my leg without some weird pain..for those 15min without any pain I feel like my own self..care free..until it comes back..it always comes back..ugh I miss my old body!

Yep, I think about it many times a day. I have to much time on my hands so my mind works non stop. I drive myself crazy sometimes. Many women have controlling husbands I have a controlling disease. I can kick my husband out but I have no control of this crap.

Short and sweet...No.

Gentle hugs, Linda

Sorry to say I DO think about it all the time and yes some days I think ok what is it today and other days it's like ease up already....my stiffness is horrible...I am like the Tin Man without oil, surprise you can't hear me squeaking.
