Congratulations to your award. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis of MS. I have 3 friends who have it in different stages. Are you walking okay? Maybe I read your blog first before ask the question…:-)

Yes I am still walking. I feel very fortunate that new medicine is working well for me. Plus all kinds of other invisible as well as visible symptoms. But I feel very blessed.

Yes, the medication makes such a difference in my friends who started having it during different time. The one who started in early year lost all the mobility from waist down. Another 2, I think 3, who started later, just need walkers. Such as cancer. When I went through chemo, it was aggressive and caused a lot of damage to my nerves on my legs and feet. Now a couple are under different treatments that are less invasive. I’m glad to hear that you’re so blessed.

PS MS can be a very strange disease everyone of us that has it has different symptoms and different levels of disability. I’m sorry to hear about the side effect of your chemo. We take these medicines with four pages of side effects on them. We have to wonder which is worse, the medicine or the side effects.

I had a lengthy conversation with my hubby and daughter. I said, it looks the the drugs would kill me before killing the cancer. I sent out prayer request detailing my thinking and the special “signs” I asked from God to decide which way to go (I don’t normally limit God’s answers). I was in a major cross road. The drugs could have taken me either way. All the signs I asked for manifested, and that was the affirmation I asked from God. Yes, the whole process was like walking through the death valley and came out alive even though I still have side effective, but it’s manageable. In one of my Gratitude Moments posts, I wrote about how my cancer grew. It was like not time to think. There were two loss of family member whose cancers ran faster than the med. I’m grateful for being alive.

Thank you so much! I’m hopeful! After seven years, my damaged nerves seem to be less and less by year. The swelling still has to be managed on a day to day bases. I’m okay with that!
