Adjusting to an MS Diagnosis - How I Changed My Mind

Have you changed your perspective since diagnosis?

I have had MS over t n tears now and I get fitter everyday because God has a plane for me and it's not to be beaten by a diagnosis or an illness that I have the power over by the the grace of God 🙏

Another great video, Vickie. 👏 I was so worried when I first realised I probably had MS. I feared that i would lose a lot of my vision and have a much shorter life, but I'm still here and my vision hasn't worsened since the episode of optic neaurits that began my journey with MS! I know though that MS is progressive and that things might change a little in the future but I try not to dwell on it. Thank you for all your hard work. X

Hi, Thank you for your video. Welcome and Best wishes. ❤

Oh yes l can totally relate 😫. I was talking to a work colleague once about how disappointed l was that l could no longer wear a nice pair of high heels like l used to be able to do many years ago . My colleague just looked at me for a minute then said “ why don’t you just try wearing them around the house so that you can feel comfortable wearing them again “ 😩l wish . If only it were that easy ☹️👎🏻. I feel so liberated when l can share my experiences with people who can “properly understand “ what its like . I get alot of comfort knowing lm not the only one 🙂x

Thank you for sharing, Vickie. I also am dealing with my own journey. I have RRMS identified in 2009 and gone through different symptoms with different medical advice and treatments. Different medications side-effects altering my mood and personality . Subsequently resulting in affects on many of my relationships, including a divorce and other friendships. This making the journey much more difficult. Now getting disability finances are tight and medical treatments and Dr's being costly also financially limit my desires to add additional costs trying to move through the journey and seek mental counsel and more treatments. It's a difficult journey. Wishing you the best. Thank you for sharing. Mike

Hurray for Holsteins!!! I love that portrait Very efficient Ruminators for sure. You always provide so much to chew on!! (I will stop now)

I can relate to some of this. As older and newly diagnosed (this year) I don't worry too much about what others think. Regarding well meaning comments and suggestions. People care and it's their way of showing it. My biggest challenges are mobility and self-imposed isolation due to difficulty walking. I'm working on this. Lots of hobbies, crafting and creating takes place inside my home. I think one of the biggest things I can relate to in regards to your story is that what I imagined my later years to look like and included lots of travels. While this is no longer an option, I try to think about new adventures and what they might look like. Trying not to ruminate but not always successful. Allowing myself time to process is key. Surrender to God's will, love and care for me is key, along with serving others. 💗

I embrace the .02 people offer. The body changes like the ocean What works now might not continue working. After being called an enigma, an alien, and “there’s no way you were first DX’d with PPMS”, I decided not to be the picture of my diagnosis. My cognition can’t pass the test, my physical abilities don’t match my MRI’s, the neurologist is useless since I don’t take DMT’s so I heal myself .02 every day. Decide to be happy and live peacefully. Make that your daily goal. Pleasure can be found all around. It doesn’t have to include people or food. Perspective is an option. No one is watching you No one is feeling your feels. Live as if it were your last day and you would be fulfilled ❤
