advanced?

When reading posts it seems most are ambulatory. That is

a good thing; keep going!

Are there ms'ers who can no longer walk?

I haven't stood for 15 yrs. It happened rather suddenly;

thought I was taking a positive "step" in undergoing a

treatment (cytoxin). It was not approved at that time.

I walked into the hospital but not out.

I didn't let it prevent me from doing my daily activities,

though. I did all the activities, only differently.


Fifteen yrs later I'm wondering where that person went.

Now I feel small, useless and helpless.

How do I get the vigor, the "nothing's gonna stop me"

attitude back? Can or will I ever feel that way again?

This MonSter's taken everything away. I can't let it have

my spirit.

hugs, angel

Aw, Angel, honey, I get it. I really do. I started out YOUNG diagnosed RRMS, and after 32 years I'm wheelchair dependent. I tried everything NOT to make that happen, but happen it did.

I recently had a very negative life event happen to me, but we're strong women. We CAN do the best we can and ask for nothing else. I don't know if you (or I) will ever walk (or DANCE) again, but we can still think and advocate for ourselves. We can all be here for each other, and that's a start...

Stay strong, sweetie!
