My hubby says I have given up but I think I am a realist.
My hubby says that since my Doctor told me in July of last year that he thought that I had MS that I have just given up. I don't think that's anywhere close to the truth and wonder where he has been looking when I have been struggling for the last 9 years and especially the last 3 or 4. I won't even mention the day to day battle the last 11 months has been. I think I am a realist. I see my life, I see me getting progressively worse. Am I gonna fall over dead tomorrow? maybe, same chance as any other person on the face of this earth. But I know I won't wake up normal...normal for me, like I was say oh 4 years ago. I won't get up in the morning and walk/run the dog 2 or 3 miles come home and shower then go work 24 hours as a paramedic and then maybe even pic up overtime, come home from that and maybe go play some tennis etc ...... Tomorrow I will get up whenever I awake and drink my first balanced nutritional drink (old people drink I call them) come in to the office in our house and get on the computer. I will stay there untill my butt falls asleep or I get bored and then I will go back to my bed , probably with a laptop and that will continue until it is time to go to sleep. Ta da! my day, and thats a good one. I may go to the store, I may go down stairs, my hubby will make me a meal or I will eat a sandwich and drink 1 or 2 more old people drinks. I might read something. I am due to start school again on the 27th of this month and I keep myself busy online with projects but the physical aspects of my life has gone from high powered to stagnant. He seems to think that this is by choice. I don't understand.......

People who are not \"living\" it just don\'t get it! My fiance\' is on again off again with supporting me.
Mostly he is on! Your life sounds like mine was three months ago. I am a little bit more functional now. It is depressing when we look back at what we were ( and our past lives sound alot alike with the exception of different occupations!)
There are tests for MS, is there not?
Glad you are back!!!
Dear Bear,
I\'am home very early from my \"holiday\" - have been in Hosp. for 2 days, then packed off on the rail. Still have on & off migraines, but will catch up with you soon. Fond Regards, JaneD.
