What Do You Believe In?
Yesterday in my wanderings though the internet I found some rather interesting information, some of which I'm not so sure I agree with.
One particular reply stated, I don't really like the phrases conquer MS or healing MS or beating MS.
MS is something which we learn to adapt to, no matter the extent of the disease or its progression. We learn to live with MS or survive MS.
My thought about this statement is, you feel that there is no hope for the future. That adapting is all you expect and all you can do. If you don't think there is any chance of improvement, healing, and hope, than why would you believe you can conquer a disease?
Folks, a year and a half ago I couldn't walk from my bed to my bathroom. I had to crawl.
. 8 months ago I had such severe anxiety that I sat and cried on an airplane next to my wife coming home from a vacation.
. Two years ago I was deeply depressed over loosing my eyesight and driver's license, a man at 34 loosing all independence.
. 2 years ago I was told to go on Novantrone to prevent myself from going into a wheelchair
. 24 months ago I was using a cane.
Folks, these are all things I USED to do.
Here is what my life looks like today.
-I no longer have anxiety I have peace.
-I no longer have a cane, I gave it to Goodwill.
-I do not take Novantrone, but continue with Rebif- a less powerful drug.
-I am no longer depressed about my eyesight and believe it will return in the future.
-I no longer crawl to the bathroom but walk 1.5 miles each day.
-I believed I could conquer multiple sclerosis, and I believe in myself.
-I believed I could heal myself.
-I believed I could beat this disease.
-I believed most of all in hope, love, and a higher spirit in myself who deserved to be free and healthy.
Here is a quote I received yesterday from a good friend of mine, an Ophthalmologist in Biloxi, MS
There is an entire dimension to human health that none of us really understand. I have patients who should not see but somehow are able to see. I also have patients who seemingly have nothing wrong with them and yet claim that they cannot see. I think that sometimes instead of measuring vision, I end up measuring the will or spirit of a patient.
Choose and believe in yourself and seek wisdom.
And friends, if you don't believe me here is the proof.
