Limbo and the first year is hard

Limbo and the first year after diagnosis are really hard but it gets better. What is hard is the uncertainty. Physically it does not  always get easier but you have experienced more and it is not such a shock when things come up. It is sort of like when you are young and you have your first break up or lose your first job.

This is not a fun disease. I try to live in the moment and hang on to the best moments like my balloon ride, or spending time with my family, or a nice lunch with a friend, or a kitty purring in my lap.

Hang in there.

Alex

Love your attitude at well!  Living in the moment is great advice for everyone not just those of us with MS.  Sounds like you have found your own magic pill.  I think I will take your advice. thanks.

Awesome attitude and advice.

I am still in limbo but have to come to realize that this is my life now and I need to make the best of it although sometimes I tend to do stupid things that make me worse cause I don't think ahead. But I am learning what I can and can't do and finding new things to replace the ones I can't.

Attitudes like yours inspire me so much.

Be well
