This is where I will be posting updates to my daily life.
- I battle Multiple Sclerosis every minute of every day.
What’s your super power?
- Your illness does not define you,
Your strength and courage does.
- One of the most painful things I’ve done
Is letting go of an older version of myself.
- I’m a simple person
Who hides a thousand feelings behind the happiest smile.
- You’re going to carry this illness for the rest of your life.
So you can either wallow in the weight of that, or you can fight for your only life and make it a good story.
What a cure for MS means
I remember when I was first diagnosed the doctor told me, “Don’t worry Kim, they are making a lot of progress with Multiple Sclerosis research. They’ll have a cure soon.” What I have learned, is how complex and incredibly wonderful our bodies are, and what an important role our nervous system plays in enabling our bodies to function properly.
What a cure for MS means: 1) ending disease activity for those of us who have MS.
2) Restoring what has been lost by repairing the nervous system and re-training the body how to function.
3) End the disease forever by finding the cause of MS and what triggers it, and protecting against it.
What a wonderful day when MS can be cured and prevented! Thank you to all who are working on this!
