Hi Maria, unfortunately, an MS diagnosis is hard to get. It happens with most people and it’s terrible that the people around you or the doctors don’t believe you till they have proof from an MRI or a lumbar puncture. But we battle through it from day 1 and keep doing so every day after that. How are you now? Hope you’re doing well. Keep in touch 🙂 Thanks for reading and for messaging xx

Hi AnneMarie, thanks for your message. You learn to accept it yes because in reality we have no other way. You need to try as much as possible to look at the things you can do and focus on the things you’ve already accomplished in spite of your conditions. That must be your driver 🙂 stay well and keep safe !

Hi Antoinette, I agree that it is 🙂 thank you very much and thank you for reading!

Hi Michelle, thanks for reading and for getting in touch. Grief is normal and it’s also very normal that it lasts for years. The diagnosis is comforting yes, but indeed final and that’s where the grief and eventually acceptance comes in. But it isn’t easy to get there. Same way it isn’t easy to live with MS. Travelling with MS is possible but with a difference. When you’re tired you stop. Listen to your body and if that just means being out in the morning when you’re feeling your best then that’s enough. Then you go back to your hotel, you read a book, you relax, you have a cup of tea and you regain your energy for the next day. That’s what I’ve done 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed reading and I hope that you will read more. Another blog post will be out this week. Keep well and stay safe!

Hi Daniela, thanks for reading! The only way they can know is if we tell them. So tell them. Educated them. Explain to them. I know it takes courage, but it takes courage to live with MS, so you definitely have the strength it takes. Keep well!
