Hi Paula! Thanks so much for taking the time to read and for your kind words. As you know it if often times difficult to try and explain all the shit that comes with living with this disease. Sometimes I feel as if I do an adequate job and other times I wish I could explain it better!

Cheers!
Meg

Hi Sherry! Thanks for sharing and your kind words. So glad to hear you are writing again. More words means more people may begin to understand a bit more about what it’s like:)

Cheers!
Meg

Thank you for doing your blog. I recently have been visiting and reading it. You have inspired me to start back to writing and sharing my journey as well. Seems this community understands more of what we are going through and sharing it makes others feel we are not alone.

:). I love when that happens! I love when my words have managed to come come out well enough that others relate!

Cheers!

Meg

Thanks Laura!:)

I’m grateful, too.

The thing about chronic illness is that it’s always there – whether well ‘managed’ or not. Don’t let those who don’t ‘get it’ bring you down too much – save your energy for laughing with your ‘someone’.

Hey John!

Thanks so much for sharing! I try and remember that it is difficult to imagine how anyone else feels because our own experiences and perspectives always come into play:)

Cheers!

As another MS patient, I get this irritating response quite often. It always helps me to recall that most people hear the words but then fail to comprehend EXACTLY how this would feel to the OTHER person. The most usual response seems to be heard but interpreted against what the person hearing is feeling in themselves, not what you are feeling. Realizing this as a normal part of the human condition helps me to understand how other people can come across as uncaring , unfeeling, or just plain dense.
