I Feel Really Good

[HVAC]

I almost feel like I do not have MS. I am painting again. I am walking my dogs. Although at a slower rate. I am going out with friends. Life is good!
For the first time in months life does not feel so bleak.

A week ago I was so depressed I could not stand it. Now I have the same Progressive Form of MS and same challenges but it is okay. I am not sure what happened. I guess I just jumped back in the race. I guess it helps I am no longer throwing up all the time and have gained some weight back. I also have some pain under control thanks to the Pain Clinic. I am taking less medicine than before. It took some trial and error.

For people new to diagnosis or going through diagnosis have hope. It takes getting used to but it is a disease you can live with.

Alex -

Everytime I see the title of your thread, I keep hearing in my head, James Brown...   I feel good.... dodododo, knew that I would... aaahhhhh, I feel good...  

That would be much better if we could attach a sound clip :)

Sorry, didn't sleep well last night and I tend to get silly on lack of sleep...  joke with my husband and daughter, its better then getting grumpy :)

Such an important message for all - Hope.

Happy to hear you've gotten a well deserved break. It's amazing how good you can feel when just one thing gives :)

Karma has been kind to you, HVAC.  I know you have had your tumbles but all in all, having said you have had MS since childhood, she has been rather slow in her progression.    

Here is my wish for it to stay that way allowing you to express yourself in art, ride horses and all those things you are fond of....

Alex, it's about time you got a reprieve from all the cr ap that keeps happening to you.  Enjoy every moment - you deserve this break.

hugs,

  I don't think it matters which side damage is damage.......  Right?

   Take care
       Misty.......    I don't believe that depression has anything to do with which side that your body is damage.

[jensequitur]

Yay!  Enjoy it and make the most of it...  Apropos of nothing, I've heard that left side damage can cause you to feel happy for no reason, and right side damage can cause depression.

So happy to hear this!  Enjoy every day and your wonderful companions!

I am so happy to hear that finally you are feeling well and that you are able to do the things that you enjoy doing. once we get control of our bodies things tend to feel better. Glad the pain clinic is working and few less pills to swallow is always for the better. take care and enjoy the days ahead
