Every night I pray for a cure, I pray for my life back.
As with many other people with MS I have been asked what is it like to have MS. It was not until recently I have I been able to explain it to people.
I was sent a story and I will add the link to the story at the end of this wish. As it is too long to post here but I urge you to go and read it, this story can be used for almost any major illness and might help you have a better understanding of a love one that is sick.
For me MS has taken so very much from me. My ability to walk, and even talk, I have vision issues that come and go. I lost the control of my bladder as well. I wear braces on both my legs, day (I have day and night brace for my legs) and hand brace at night for my hands. As of today I now have to sleep with O2 as it has affected my ability to breath at night.
I am not telling you this to have you feel sorry for me, my reason is so that you might have an understanding of what it is like for someone that has MS. That everything we do take and robs us of our energy. That most pain meds do not work to help the pain. That we can look find one day and the next not be able to walk. I am telling you this so that maybe you will have a little more patients when you see someone in a wheel chair or a walker or using a cane. Not look at someone that how speech is slurred as being drunk.
Pity is not something any of those I know with MS want, what we want is a cure and our life?s back.
