I'm 49. I don't drink often. I don't smoke. I don't have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. I do stress and have the last few years. Other than that I don't know where it comes from or if I'm just unlucky.
I don't know why we're dealt the genetic hands we are. I've stopped trying to figure it out, and try to do the best I can with what I've got. It does get challenging at times. I'm sorry about your MS. I hope you're doing as well as you can with it. 💜
Everyone has a struggle. There are those without MS who suffer just as much or more every day. No one is free of trouble.
You’ve been personally introduced to your challenge - meet it head on and make it work for you. Learn from it, grow strong with it, develop empathy with it. Believe it or not, sometimes our afflictions turn us into superheroes. Hang in there.
I am amazed at how MS effects different people differently. I girl i went to highschool with told me that she had MS and had had it for over 10 years. She has no outward symptoms at all while a fellow I met a few years ago became confined to a wheelchair shortly after he was diagnosed. All the best in your struggle.
Sorry to hear that. 😞 I heard in many people it's genetic. Also that vitamin D deficiency might play a role, as there are far more cases in areas with colder climate with less sunshine.
I was told in the hospital recently. I'd been having seizures and they ran some tests on me. My hub called an ambulance because I had turned purple and it looked like I was dying. I had been waiting for another neurologist appt. I had went to one and was going to have some out patient tests but then I ended up in the hospital. I have another appt with a neurologist. There is apparently not many in my area so I have to wait until Dec. @SW-User
