hi!!! WEL LIKE_ MIND over matter? SORRY_ I ALWAYS SAID IF YOU DONT MIND IT _DONT MATTER!! HA_ NOT FUNNY? IM NOT MAKING FUN_ _ YOU CAN HELP ITS A FRAME OF THOUGHT AND WELL BEING!!- and im glad 2 meet you!! i do have a twisted- sence of humor- these caps- im sorry, wasnt intended!! but yes positive thoughts do help! hugs!!

Thank you for understanding. While taking your meds do help for some the side effects are crazy. Im trying to go the natural way instead and thinking positive has helped enormously---hugs

When I read the first part of your post about If you can create a Disease, my mind jumped right to where they can create MS in Mice why can't cure it? funny how your mind picks the important things that matter to you
Take Care
Dave

yes- the natural way is-great!-- oh-- ya- but.... you are really takein a chance, im just - well i have about tried it all still- okj, but, meds are so very important, of corse we are all differant, you take care!!! hugs!!

Sounds like great advice for hypochondriacs.

lol!!!

I like BobbyJ's comment. So many times MS patients are told that their problems are all in their head. I'm sensitive to this, because it is frustrating when you know something is wrong, and nobody believes you. This is half the reason why MS dxes take so long to get!

Wait, did my mind create my MS? Because if it did I am taking my mind out back and beating the crap out of it.

Best of luck on the natural route. I am sticking with modern medicine but embracing the positive thinking. Positive thinking is always a good thing.

yes- no one believed me for years- i still keep things to myself- not so much anymore, but it took me years, i thought i needed commited!! but -ha- still do!! but something WAS wrong!! hugs!!

I know people are gonna think that I am crazy for even putting this out there, but in retrospect the mind is the control post for the body and positive thinking does wonders when you are struggling with this disease. I'm reading a lot of books that have shown me that I need to feed my mind positively and it has been working if I am overly stressed out then my symptoms come back but if I am calm and focused on the positives symptom free for the last 4 years.hugs

I appreciate all of the comments

I'm with you on this, having had MS most of my adult life I have learnt (sometimes the hard way!!) that state of mind plays a huge role in symptoms. I am working with this concept of balancing my state of mind to assist in alleviating symptoms and can get good results, the one physical hurdle is when the weather gets hot.

Thank you livinlif4ny for putting this post up, I feel that it is something that is overlooked. It is very difficult to explain to others what is going on inside, especially when you can look OK from the outside, and for the most part I have stopped trying to explain, I know the truth of what is going on within me and why I can look as though I'm walking OK one minute, only to 10 minutes later be staggering like a drunk, and that often I can touch someone or something and not feel it.

Thanks for the positive affirmation! it so good to stay in the right frame of mind, I have removed most stress from my life and I believe it is helping my MS.
