Dealing my MS attack

Hi there, I was diagnosed with relapse remitting MS approximately 15 years ago I had the worst attack that I’ve ever had in November, I wasn’t able to walk I had to use a cane, for the first time I had to get a disability placard for my car. And I knew the exact reason why it was so bad, my parents filed for divorce and there was so much vitriol between them, and all they did was talk to their kids about each other, my parents not really even caring that it was making my MS worse. So what did I do? For the first time in my life I decided I was going to set boundaries, you see my life and my health is way more important than anything in this world, once I started realizing that I needed to set restrictions and boundaries and take care of my health, I slowly started to get better and I promised myself I would never be put in that situation again, because the truth is yes stress is a huge factor in MS. I now am 100% better, but I also learned a huge lesson from hitting rock-bottom. Don’t let anybody Try and influence you in negative ways, I know it’s easier said than done but for us, we have multiple sclerosis, we need to surround ourselves with people who are going to bring us up in life and not bring us down. We are all warriors and we all have each other.

Hi @simmysaje, what a brilliant post! I mean, I’m really sorry for all the mental anguish you’ve endured. But look how tough you are, supporting yourself through it and giving yourself true value. And you’re so right, we need to surround ourselves with positives, whether that’s by way of good food, or good company. Big up the Warriors! :-) x
