Rather Be Healthy

I sometimes wonder  about the life I have now and if it’s all worthwhile, I mean a day is a day is a day to me. The differences tend to be primarily based on that I have to eat and what I watch on telly. So that being the case is what I do worth the frustration, the pain, the difficulty and hardship of being alive? Well before anyone jumps to what may seem as the obvious conclusion, Damn right it is.

Yes most days are fundamentally the same, but everyday to me is a challenge, a challenge to a half German scouser is like nothing else but a chest bumping slap in the face…. There is no way on earth that I could back down from that, never, never insult a lad brought up on the tough side of Liverpool. I am one of seven kids, I lived the first eleven years of my life in a 2 up, 2 down terraced house with an outside loo. We as a family struggled financially but my dad worked nights driving a truck, my mum did everything and more to put food on the table, actually we never had a table to sit around, it was plate on the lap for us. But I loved my childhood and at 61 I still love my incredible mum.

My life is difficult, waking up always brings a smile to my face because I know it brings another challenge, and I say to myself, “Yes another opportunity to beat this”, you never know, this could be the day, this could be My Day..

In February 2004 I was at Swedish Medical Hospital in Denver, Colorado when I was told by the neurologist that I had multiple sclerosis, obviously it was a shock especially when he told me it was an incurable disease. Now me being me, y’know made a steel and able to jump tall buildings otherwise known as a cocky scouse git, lol.

At that time I knew nothing in comparison to what I would learn over the following years. My thoughts at that time really were that it might well be incurable to them, as in the world of medicine but not to me.

Over the next seven years I’d tried numerous natural methods and in all honesty I’d definitely slowed the progression and was able to live a near normal life. The time between 07 and 2011 my knowledge expanded exponentially through working for the incredible Dr Huggins and meeting some quite amazing people Dr’s John and Blanche amongst a few others. Anyway my understanding of MS and its many debilitating symptoms never ceased to frustrate and sicken me. One day I’d feel so confident that I’d found a way through only to be completely demoralised the next. Days up and then down number at least a hundred, it’s been so hard it really has, I think writing these posts for my blog have been so inspiring for me. I’ve said a thousand time that I won’t be beaten and as I’m saying this something inside of me gives me added determination to not let anyone down, not let me down. I’m Stefan, I live in a physical body others recognise as that handsome witty, intelligent scouser, ok, ok, you might not think that way but it’s me.

Today was (Wednesday) a great day until about 5.30 when I seemed to go from feeling good to feeling really weak. Very confusing as I really couldn’t think of anything I’d done, eaten or drank that could have caused it, it just shows that as much as I think I know is really nothing when it comes to what this truly is. But it’s another day and another opportunity to understand this disease that is consistent, actually the only thing that’s consistent is that it’s constantly changing..
