I'm leaving the MS boards ... rejecting the RRMS label, advising neurologist that I'll take the iffy meds no more ... nothing remits, each day is the same ... tolerable, with good partners who help and accept help.
I'm going back to living life, no longer willing to be the patient patient ... I have a job to do and this diagnosis and painful, daily treatment has only made it harder ... it has brought me depression and worry. The med brings no reassurance.
I wish all my colleagues who shared this label with me well ... enjoy the summer, but when you're finding the classroom challenging, come here ... you'll find help and understanding among other teachers. I'm happy we succeeded in getting a teachers' board up and running.
But I will be off the boards, living my teacher's life, without the distraction of injections and medical exams. You might say I'm divorcing MS, but keeping custody of my life (and my loves.)
Bless you all -
