"That was when I realized everyone has their own cross to bear. Yesterday I saw the fourth neurologist in 6 years. 35 years of symptoms, years of wondering why. Now lesions, slow evoked potential, old lesions shining brightly, 3 cousins and two nieces with MS but apparently I’m too old now at age 60 to have MS. Even though I’ve seen dozens of doctors in my 35 symptom full years I am apparently too old for MS. The fact that I now am dragging my right foot and have broken two ankles and two wrists with the many falls from being off balance, it’s probably because of my back fusions. The fact that the new MRI mentions demyelination, I’m too old for MS. I’m so frustrated and overwhelmed with a feeling of hopelessness I’m just done. Each dr agreed with the next. Each a sheep following the other never daring to think outside the box or consider deviating from the norm. But it’s too much to defy their peers’ opinion. I guess I’m ok. I’m an unwell 60 year old that has nothing wrong physically except that I’m 60. We all have our own crosses to bear. Nothing I can do but forget it all and go on living. I’m done. "
