Having Multiple Sclerosis is a B***h!
I developed symptoms in my twenties but was diagnosed in my thirties. I have several underlying conditions, and having MS makes everything worse, because I can't decipher whether my symptoms are because of the MS, other conditions, or all of them at the same time. I use a power chair because I never know when my crooked knees will give out and leave me on the ground. Pain is sometimes unbearable, but I take my medicine and tolerate the pain that isn't alleviated. I try to convince myself that I am still able to do things that I have lost the ability to do. I pray a lot because God won't give me any more than I can bear. My motto is "as long as I awaken in the morning, I'm doing great!"
