Grieving or Feeling Sorry For Yourself

deleted_user
A Psychologist told me something very interesting about having a disease like MS. Certainly we all know what we've lost or pain we've gained another thing we might grieve for is the loss of some of our dreams. Hopefully we make new and more possible ones but you may have dreamed of taking a hike on the Appalachian trail or done something else that this MonSter prevents.
You'll grieve for that loss just like the loss of a loved one.
I guess I hope I am creative enough to make new ones. Problem is they seem to take more money than I have now. I can do it but long time dreams/wishes are difficult to change.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Take care!
My theory, which helps me get through somethings is that maybe that was MY dream, but that was not the path that I was suppose to go down in my life, that maybe God is just trying to show me something else, that I'd never pay attention to, & sometimes it takes a good knock alongside the head. (but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt) Hang in there, you sound like a neat guy, that's not ready to give up :) Julie

PS sure seems like people here on DS don't pay much attention to what you (and I) have said about LDN. Too Bad, although I haven't had some of the miraculous effects that some have had, it has meant no exacerbations for over 3 years.
Hence My MS Bag of Tricks message. I have 4 things that I swear by, the rest I swear at.
1989 I started chiropractic, probably just in time, too. I was getting right side inner ear infections 2-3 times a year and my fair share of antibiotics to kill the infection: nobody ever looked at what was Causing them, or even suggested to Look for a cause.
I won't describe the day after my first chiropractic adjustment, but it was gross, I was so totally impressed, and I haven't had an inner ear infection since November 1989! My chiro team are my primary care and they guide me through all processes, we work on all issues together.
1993 I found Wayne Dyer, haven't been depressed much since then. Became a Mr. Mom the next year. My absorption of this words and wisdom is a winning combo for me.
1995 I was taken to a Franklin Time Management seminar. I used it for a month like they suggested and am still using it. Who knew MS messed with short term, well, FTM surely has become a reliable one, as long as I write it down, it gets done.
And finally, 2003 I found LDN. Too bad I couldn't have found it in 1998, I may not have lost what I lost in the 2000 and 2002 attacks. But it's all slowly coming back and the rest is surely livable.
LDN isn't For MS. It's for AI diseases and it's creating quite a grass roots stir around the world, especially in the Crohn's and Autism circles, it's curing Crohn's and it's bringing kids out of their little worlds.
My dad is on it since March 28 for Stomach Cancer. They put in kidney stents and did some chemo on Tuesday's. Last month he went in for a CT scan, they took out the stents and told him the mass was HALF what it was the last time. They were very impressed, they knew the chemo results from others, they never saw this reaction, and in an 83 yr old man who they probably gave 6 months to live. Well, surprise surprise.
My brother is on it for sarcoidosis. I thought I had a good story to tell, in the last 3 LDN conferences I heard of some stories that make mine look like nothing.
