I try to keep my rants off of this blog but I think people that have MS need to see that some days having this disease totally sucks! I don’t want people to think that because I tend to not post about those days that they don’t exist. Right now I am struggling because I have to except how I am feeling as the new normal and I don’t want to. No one wants to know that this is as good as it gets. I am at the point right now where I need to except it and I don’t want to. I want to tell the disease to go fly a kite and go away. I am 25 years old and I don’t want to be dealing with this disease!!!!! I have knowing that this disease takes so much away from people who have it. I look at others with the disease and get mad at myself because the are worse off than I am and yet I am still bitching and pissed off because of how I feel. I know I should be grateful that I am not more disabled but instead I am pissed off that I have to deal with this disease at all. I was doing so well at staying positive with how things are going and now I am back to when I got diagnosed and not dealing well with it all. I want to bury my head in the sand and just ignore it but I also know that I can’t do that. Part of this I am sure is just being 25 and being to damn stubborn for my own good. I will never totally except this disease! I know I can’t give up on treatment since it working but hell I am tired of going once a month and having it done. I am tired of worrying about PML and the disease getting worse. I am tired of people hearing about my diagnoses and being scared to date me or even talk to me. I mean good hell it isn’t going to kill them hell it might not even kill me. I am tired of all the crap that comes along with this damn disease. I am so tired of being in pain and my doctor not giving me what I need to deal with the pain. I am tired of being on all the medications that I am on to treat how the MS has made me feel. I guess it boils down to the fact that I am tired of the disease!
Okay I am going to leave it at that. Hopefully get this out will help me move on from this point!
Hey Margaret! Not sure what to say beyond the cliche' sympathetic responses, but I just want to let you know that I love you and I wish I could be there for you more. You amaze Margaret!
I understand having to get used to a new normal. I understand getting tired of treatments and meds. I understand diseases interfering with relationships.
I wish that I could do or say something that would help ease you through this rough spot. Just know I do think about you and pray for you every day.
I completely understand everything you are saying here , and it sucks! this disease is horrible! I am tired of being in pain constantly! Feeling sick all the time! The fatigue! Agh!!
I had mt symptoms 4 years before my DX , and its been horrible! I want to feel normal again, and do the things I loved, and enjoyed so much before this disease took over my life, and now I have a disability! I have a hard time excepting that the way I feel now is the new normal. IT SUCKS! It doesn't get better with age either. I am very happy to know that I found your blog. Its helps a lot to know I am not alone, and someone else understands completely!
Thank you Margaret
I will always keep you in my thoughts and prayers 🙂
One Love
