Recently diagnosed

Hi all Just wanted to post to all the people on here newly diagnosed. I was diagnosed march this year after a really bad attack, I was in hospital for a month and was petrified thinking my life was over. I googled and unfortunately there are a lot of negative people who talk about ms. For me it taught me to be appreciative, I never really realised how lucky I was and I know people say it but there are a hell of a lot worse problems in the world, anyway With a lot of hard work. Learning to walk again (drs and physios told me I would never be in heels again) but I'm walking around in 6 inch heels again. Just stay positive and appreciate your body, don't let it get you down. Just set yourself goals, I made a list and stuck to it, gives you a massive boost when you can tick things off, I started with daft things like getting to other side of room with out my stick, then built up each day, a few months on and I can walk miles in heels. I'm just trying to say that don't look at negatives or dwell on the ms just see it as a way to challenge yourself and don't forget nothing is impossible, stay positive xx
