MS Hatred
I was diagnosed with PPMS about 6 years ago.  I was in a state of denial for at least a year.  Finally, I escaped denial realizing its not going away.  I am thankful that I still have a full-time job as Information Technology Manager.  My short-term memory almost does not exist, but long-term is still intact.  I have been at this company for 43 years, which has become my only real contribution I can dredge up in my life.  Yes, I have been told that I'm a great husband, father, and grandfather ( I just take the compliments as pity kindness).
I do have a problem of being happy with anything involving this evil disease.  I am jealous of those who can.  A friend, who also suffered with, told me "there are people out there who wish they only had my problems".
