The Storm is coming…
Being diagnosed with one of the so called incurable diseases as I was fifteen years ago, is, as I’m sure you can imagine….devastating, trying to come to terms with it and the understanding that I’ll never be able to do all those things I took for granted was heartbreaking. The fact that I was such a physically active person before getting MS, and was informed those things would only ever be memories from that point on was difficult to accept. So the choices I had in 2004 were that I could either accept what they were telling me or regardless of the extreme fatigue, the pain, the frustration and overwhelming documented evidence that anything else would be a waste of time and rapidly depleting energy…. I kept trying…
At that time in 04, I didn’t have the knowledge or experience I have now, but I did have something my amazing and much loved mother gave me……. the never give up attitude, so I persevered, I kept looking. I learnt a lot from my time working for Dr Hal Huggins which undoubtedly helped.
But in reality it wasn’t until I read “Healing Multiple Sclerosis” by Ann Boroch that I’ve genuinely made an impact on this hideous disease. The improvements mentally and emotionally are significant, the physical ones I’m very aware of though not necessarily obvious to others.
Most people have some sort of belief in good and evil in one form or another, your opinion is just that…. yours..
I’ll state now that I believe in God and have absolute faith…
Today evil whispered in my ear…you have MS, you’re weak and I’m going to beat you…. beware… the storm is coming…
I didn’t whisper back…. I looked him in the eye and shouted..I’m strong and I’m following the ABP… So guess what, give it your best shot, but understand this…
I am the storm.
