MS = A huge life change

Sorry for the delay, it's been over a month. So much has happened in the past two months. Due to the weather, it's been a long two months. But, Thursday is Botox day and right now I'm putting all my hope/faith into that being the key to helping me feel better! I'm haven't thought about what I'll do next if that doesn't work, so it better work!

Over the past two months I've been busy working on our Golf Tournament. It's set for November 12, at noon! I was worried about participation and if we could get enough players and support. Well, we only have two "official" teams, but others have verbally committed! But, what really has been amazing is the amount of people giving us money to sponsor a hole or cart. Having all these people come together to help me raise money for multiple sclerosis research is overwhelming! I can't believe how many people have donated money, time, and items to help. It makes me feel good that they are helping support me too. I hope everyone knows how much I appreciate all the support and donations, because this money will help fund research to help find other more effective treatments and possible a cure.

Having MS has meant a lot of different things for me in the past year and a half. For me, having MS means that I have to take a shot every night, that I have to take so many pills throughout the day to help minimize my symptoms. Sometimes MS causes me to miss out on fun and a good time. I am always in and out of doctor's offices, I've lost count how many doctors I have now, I have one in almost every field. Living with MS is definitely a hard battle, but it is something that I must take one day at a time. Having MS has taught me that I can't stress over the future or follow a plan. I now go with the flow more, from one day to the next I never know what symptoms I will have to tackle or if I'll wake up with numb limbs. It can definitely be overwhelming if you dwell on all the things MS can do to the body, so instead I would rather educate people on MS and raise money to help fund new research. The last ten- twenty years, doctors have made huge strides in MS medicines, so it is my hope to see that in the next ten to twenty years they come closer to a cure. Maybe one day people won't have to live in a world with MS.
