When so little…
I think for most of us that have what the medical fraternity of the world consider to be an incurable disease, multiple sclerosis is a depressing and daunting thing to live with. Doctors of all shapes and sizes will do what they can to mentally prepare you and in all honesty try to do their best…. it’s not as if they’re evil people and are getting pleasure out of seeing you’re life ebb away, no not at all, they have what they think are you’re best interests at heart…. Sadly, very sadly, they and the majority of people are mistaken, this disease isn’t incurable, it just needs to be addressed in a different way and when they and more importantly.. you…. understand that and truly believe it…. you can and will make an impact on the debilitating symptoms…
In September 2017 after I’d read a book detailing how a young woman had been on a four year quest, not just a diet but a complete lifestyle change that transformed her from a confused and frustrated young woman in pain and with what “they” said was “no hope” of truly living again, into a healthy happy, disease free woman. My life changed after reading that book and being given help and guidance by another beautiful person…. Janet Orchard because I started on what is proving to be an incredible Journey.
In today’s world, where having a pain just means that we should “take a pill”…. a world where we are constantly being brainwashed by advertising about having a health issues is normal, putting on weight, having bad skin, spots, greasy hair or whatever is to be expected and the answer is to simply to ignore the cause, just take, this.. or that to make it go away… all well and good if you believe it’s okay to keep paying to correct what shouldn’t be happening.
Putting life as we know it into perspective, in my opinion isn’t a difficult thing to do, I’ve accepted I can’t participate in the active life I had, I’ve accepted that so many things that are considered normal, just don’t happen anymore. I’ve accepted that pain, frustration, awkward limited mobility are my everyday’s….
When I say I’ve accepted them, I mean I understand that they are happening now, but since embarking on the Ann Boroch Protocol I’m in a transitional state….. all those things are still part of my life, but they aren’t as bad. It’s an incredible feeling really to know it’s happening little by little, the changes are small and subtle and it will take years, there’s no “instant gratification” that’s become normal.
Things in my life are very different, now it’s a case of true acceptance…. when so little means so much…
