Is this normal?

I was diagnosed with ms in 2009 and have been immobile from the shoulders down when I was 21. Thankfully I have regained most of the mobility back. I still suffer from pain nonstop. Is this normal that I was wheelchair bound as severe as I was and now I look normal again?

MS is a fickle bitch as I put it. We can have a few good days a few bad days we can have a few good months and bad months and we can have few good years and then good ones. Hell I wake up in the morning and I tell people I'm going to spin the wheel of misfortune and whatever it lands on that's what I'm going to have to deal with for the day. The reality is we never really know with MS, it's a mystery and right now if your life is good and you're feeling great enjoy it to the fullest cuz tomorrow is promised to nobody. Glad to hear that you are doing better and FYI I know somebody who was diagnosed with primary progressive MS and was a paraplegic and though he still has issues with walking he is getting around better.

@NTKhasMS thank you! I wake up and check if I can wiggle my toes because for a time I couldn't.
