Good news and bad news

Went to see my neuro today, got a checkup and I'm doing well as in my MS is stable and my reflexes are good. Hopefully shouldn't need meds till 2024, Cladribine worked 🎉! Now the bad news, I've got to start thinking of my future, I've got a really good chance of being ok well into my 60s. I know they don't have a crystal ball but I guess monitoring progression is a thing. I've been so tired lately, really tired. I can take meds but I think she is reluctant to give them me because part of my problem is that I'm doing loads. I'm balancing working, teaching, studying as well as being a mum and doing it myself. Something has got to give and it's that which has upset me, I've worked so hard since I was diagnosed to do and achieve what I have but I'm going to burn out if I don't pull back. It's hard for me to hear but there has got to be a way of doing it all 🤔😭?!

hmm as you say @chezy17 good and not so good but I'm pleased for the little bit of good news for you anyway (we all need even just a little bit occasionally) 😊 I Understand your 'future' dilemma ....... MS is just a very very cruel illness at making us make choices like this 🤔

@chezy17

It doesn't have to be cruel, I guess I've just got to find a way around it. If I wasn't doing it myself, I wouldn't have to choose but that's the downside of independence. I'll figure it out, it just shocked me because I'm very much a positive person.
