Has MS had a positive affect at all?

Hi All, Maybe a pretty bizarre question but thought I'd ask if MS has had a positive affect on your life?? I know MS is a horror but since I was diagnosed I've found that I've been a bit braver and decided to grab my ambition with both hands. For many years I've been writing poetry and Lyrics but only for me to read. Last year I decided to get the help to bring my lyrics to life. I then went on to submit the song to a competition. I'm still waiting to hear I've won (pleeeeeease) but since my diagnosis, I'm braver and pushing myself more. I just wondered if anyone else has done something that maybe they wouldn't have prior to their diagnosis?? Makky

Yes it has. I used to worry about what people thought of me, now I dont. I used to think work was important, now I dont. I saw a long eared owl in the tree at the back of my garden in the dusk this evening and it was fantastic. Having Ms has stopped me worrying about most of the stupid shit that used to eat me up. We all only have a finite amount of time, but most people don't know it. I do and that is something very precious that has come out of this.

Hello Makki. Thanks for sharing your experience. The only positive thing of MS I can notice in me is that I stopped being 'arrogant' but instead I take things easy.
