I don’t remember too much from the day I got diagnosed in the Lourdes Hospital but I do recall the doctor telling me that I would have to learn to manage my MS. Back then, I didn’t even know what a sclerosis was but I suppose that over the years, I have learned to get along with my lesions- always conscious of the fact that I am at their mercy. I try to get the best out of a bad situation and keep on top of current treatments, research and therapies.
Sometimes we don’t see things as clearly, some things we see more sharply. One thing that is for certain, MS has changed the way I see things…
“Oh, it’s getting there. Slowly but surely, and right now just a tad slower than usual…”
