Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Support Group
This community is a place where members can discuss current events and weigh in on what's going on in the world.
The phrase "quality of life" means different things to different people. For example, what's important in your life may differ from what's important to someone else's life. The challenge, however, is the same for everyone who's dealing with the more advanced symptoms of MS. Fin ways to keep life full, active, and satisfying despite whatever symptoms you may have.
How I try to preserve my QOL is by trying to hold on to what's important to me. I try to stay in touch, preserving my connections with other people. I establish goals for myself and enjoy the satisfaction of meeting them. The hardest part for me is to keep my self-image well-polished but I continue to work on that.
What do you do to preserve your QOL?

Umm I too try to set goals for myself, I say affirmation every morning...this can be tough cause some days can hardly move ...
"I am happy and healthy" 3x before get up
another one I do is" every day In every way I'm getting better"
It just helps me to stay up.... when I feel crap mentally everything gets worse
I also try to put my face on (make-up)even if not going out)
My family is my most important so I also try to let them know how much I love them in some way....
I'm not always succsessful in this, because of my eyes can be hard not to go completly mad...lol

Wonderful post!!
Guess what?
Physical Therapy, since I spent three weeks in bed, I realised if I don't move when I still can, I'll won't be able to sooner.
Move, move, move I think and do everyday.
Emotionally; live, love, laugh,,I see every struggle as an achivement, I love everything I can see from the moment I open my eyes, I laugh with everyone in my day, because I cherish every minute I share with someone.
Challenge,,,yes I'm challenged, but It's not who I am, I'm the winner that overcomes them. Or most anyway,,,

I don't have a choice, and have to stay strong. My oldest son has an autoimmune disease similar to mine, and for his sake, I have to get up every morning and continue on with the day to the best of my ability. I am teaching him how to adapt, cope, and move on. Some days I don't do such a good job, but that is what keeps me going. I try to exercise, and overall eat very healthy. Mind over matter can't solve everything but it does do a LOT for a person!
Great post Lynne, thank you!
