Not a warrior
Well, I am a 63 year old woman with RRMS for past 17 years. My symptoms are somewhat invisible, unless someone sees me stumble and fall. I am in the process of ending my career as a psychologist because my brain doesn't work well enough. I have a history of anxiety and depression, cramps, weird sensations, weakness fatigue and my favorite (not) nausea and dizziness. I don't feel like a warrior. I am tired. I used to talk all the time. Not so much anymore. I am soooo tired
@nmbuy you are a warrior in my eyes. How long have you been feeling like this? Have you talked to your doctor or nurse about it the symptoms?
@sarah-graham thanks for responding. I have had lifelong depression and anxiety. But my professional identity is something I began developing fairly young, and it is me. I don't know what is underneath that identity. Who am I? People want me to say I am retired. I am not retired. I did not ask to end my career. It really has been a slow decline over past three years. So, now I can focus on eating right and exercising, making my home livable. I have been crying alot.
