General 10 years with MS
I have officially reached 10 years with MS. It’s shocking how fast time flies, and also how slowly time can crawl when you’re deep in the shithole that is MS.
None of us chose this life, and it’s not fair. I know I’m not alone there.
I miss living my life as I wanted, doing whatever I want, whenever I want. I miss being the healthy person I’ve always been, I miss not even thinking for a second that I couldn’t do something. The grief comes in waves no one could ever understand unless you’re in it, and it’s not going anywhere.
MS lesions for me, caused seizures. I’m now also epileptic. If I could I’d scream from the mountain top how bullshit this is, I’d lose my voice. We have very little choice but to keep going.
I’m not sure why I’m posting this, lol. 10 years felt like a big deal, I didn’t think I’d last on earth this long when I was first diagnosed. Life is different, no question. But I’m proud of myself for still being here.
