Is it possible for one day to go by where you don't think about your MS? i'm new at all of this, and am just wondering.

Yep! Do not allow your MS to become your identity calling card. There are many things in your life to focus on.

It is very hard to have a day where you don't "think" of MS. It is a part of you, I just try not to allow it to define me.

14 years into it, I certainly have many (in fact MOST) days that I don't like of my MS... Just gotta keep pressing forward! xoxoxo Cj (Cindyjo)

Yes. Which can get me into trouble, because I forget about my new limits. It's sort of coming together though.

Hi, Mel, so far not for me, been dx'd since May 2007. Every time I get up to move, the anchor that I call my leg reminds me that I have MS. I am hopeful that someday I won't think about it in the future.

I will say that it doesn't define me. I am just that lady with the funny walk. :P

That would be nice, but there always seems to be something in every day to remind you :(

most days i kinda "forget" because i'm so used to symptoms until i have to take my shot!
