That said my work experiences helped me with respect to not getting my bloomers in a bunch over every twinge I feel or "possible" medication side effect I read about.
Also since I know exactly how quick things can go south I have made it my life's mission to work as much as I can in an effort to plan for and be able to finance my unstable future. My thoughts on death and dying have been explored and documented ad nauseam so I'm ready for that phase although what a shame my 40's were consumed with these worries.
Regarding doctors I happen to be very particular about my providers no matter what the specialty because I have seen excellent and horrible doctors, NPs, social workers etc. over the years. Sadly when it comes to MS I have little confidence in my MS Specialist, not because I don't think he is an excellent neurologist, because he is, but because I think we have so few answers and options that I really can't get enthused about anything that might be coming down the pipeline.
I am thankful for the time I have had in the decade since diagnosis but not at all optimistic about my future prognosis.
