Am I different.
Probably yes….. I think some people are destined to live the “woe is me” life, the “my situation is worse than everyone else” or the “no matter what I do, things will never get better” attitude. I’m sure in their mind it’s easy to justify, easier to just call it a day. Obviously I’m not them, I’m not in exactly their situation.. or am I….
I was born in 1955, one of 7 kids living in a 2 up, 2 down terraced house with an outside loo, this was in Liverpool, my dad worked 6 nights each week while my incredible mum looked after us and several other kids to make a little extra, actually it wasn’t extra, it was necessary to be able to feed the nine of us.
As an adult I was able to indulge a little because of my work in the I.T. industry, good money but long hours and 50,000 miles driven each year. I’ve done 834 skydives, I was a Hang glider, Scuba diver, mountain biker, rock climber and a pilot. All of that ended including being divorced because I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a little hard to take at first but at the end of the day I had two choices… give up or fight it….
Hmmmm giving up was just not an option so I did everything I could from reading everything I could to having a full dental revision that required 10 hours of dentistry in two separate days, to CCSVI in Bulgaria, none of these had made a significant, lasting difference, there’d also been at least 50 other things I tried over a 14 year period.
I learned about Ann Boroch in August last year, started on the protocol in September and now I honestly believe that I’ll be healed in two years, the ABP isn’t easy, at the start it’s definitely a challenge but after a couple of months the “just feeling better” part massively outweighs the bad bits.
Half way through my sixth month and I feel so good in comparison to before I started, for an outside viewer it probably doesn’t look significantly different but to someone with MS the subtle changes are Ginormous… not a real word but you know what I mean, Oh and by the way I also lost a $500,000 house, went into a $100,000 debt, lost all my friends as a result of being taken to the cleaners when divorced by my American wife…. I could be pissed off and bitter and frustrated and depressed but guess what…. I’m not so yes I probably am different.
