MS: the lies we tell ourselves
Schadenfreude must be MS's middle name because it seems to enjoy the trouble it is giving you by dragging other symptoms along in an orgy of severe fatigue, numbness, cognitive issues, neuropathic pain, and trigeminal neuralgia.
Happiness and MS
In short, I felt like gutting my immune system from my entrails. My mind from my brain. And my eyes' life experiences dunked in a glass jar filled with ethanol. Life with MS. Nobody said it would be easy. Or, straightforward.
Along the Road, by Robert Browning Hamilton
I walked a mile with Pleasure
Hell is other people
"The best lesson I ever taught myself was that “What you think, you become.” I refused to let being unhappy define me or let it shape my mindset for the rest of my life. In gaining happiness and trust again, I also learned to anticipate the outcome of whatever I decided in life. After all, happiness, hope and trust are 100% up to you, and you alone."
