Hello friends,
For quite some time now I've been reading posts pertaining to the inability to accept/acknowledge not only the unpredictability but the troubling progression that afflicts many of us with MS.
After thinking about this for a bit I've come up with a possible reason why some are better able to deal with the lack of control over the course of the disease. Parenthood.
When you've raised children you have given everything you have to instill values and ethics that are important to you. You do and say all the right things and yet as the children grow up you lose control over them. You can't fix their problems and you have to sit back and allow them to make their own mistakes, hoping that they will learn a valuable lesson.
So as a MS patient we do what we can to prepare for the future such as DMD's, exercise, good diet, avoiding stress, etc. But at some point, nature takes over and we accept that goal and dream adjustments are necessary. But we're still here fighting the good fight. Just my .02.
