I have found life does get easier to deal with after coming to terms of having M.S. rather than fighting the truth of the matter. Which is easier said than done when it comes to the mindset needed to overcome the Depression from the very start. That is the start of the beginning of the new life that I have been given with many different challenges to overcome. Nobody has told me it was going to be a walk in the park type of Disease except those who know it all about everything.…Learn more

I have found in the last 7 years that Life is to be lived one day at a time. Never knowing what each day may bring my way in Health and Wellness. Little ailments and pain arise for me to find different ways to deal with them.

I have been living now with M.S. for over 10 years as far as the first Symptoms were noticed. Retiring in 2002 from my 18 year Cooking Career after the Diagnoses of M.S. which was a hardship to handle. Did life ever get boring except for the Depression that I fell into then.

Depression is a very big part of my life now which I fight with everyday in one form or another. Life is hard to face at times meaning the Depression has found a weakness in my defenses. Once Depression gets hold it seems to stay forever, no matter how hard you attempt to shake it. What really happens here is I am fighting 2 Diseases at a time, which is harder to fight.

People are unaware of people with M.S. as we look Healthy most of the time, and others show signs of illness that has them baffled and speechless. I am lucky I guess since I look healthy but use a scooter or my new power chair to get around everywhere. I have even had people say there is nothing wrong or looks like nothing is wrong with me. They say I look like nothing is wrong until they are told about my M.S. then it is I am sorry and feel sad about the disease. The Pain is real, the Depression is real, and the Fear is real which do not leave.

When I was Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (M.S.) I was unsure of what caused this type of Disease. After talking with my Neurologist I had a better idea of what was happening to my body. His explanation could not have been easier to understand in plain and simple English.

This is the way it was explained to me after I had an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). The results were shown to me at my next appointment then the Q & A started and when the explanation began.

My autoimmune system has what are called Radical cells that can not distinguish between good and bad Red or other White blood cells. They think the myelin sheath that covers your nerve endings is damaged when it actually just fine and healthy. So these Radical white blood cells proceed to attack what they believe are being attacked by harmful Bacteria.

When the Myelen sheath is attacked and eaten away Leasions are formed on the Nerve endings. The Central Nervous System is where all the Nerves are located all the way into your brain. So with the Leasions formed your body tries to reprogram the way messages are sent, from one part of your body and Brain to another and received the way it should. The body and mind get to be crosswired on their own just to function properly or attempts to function.

Canada has the highest rate of M. S. per capita, with Alberta where I live has the highest in Canada. They have found the less Sun you get the less Vitamin D your body absorbs so Vitamin supplements ( D, B12, Calcium, Omega 3 ) to name a few that are needed.

There is always Research being done around the World to find the cure. Europe has medication which has not been approved by the FDA in Canada to date. The reason being there is not enough Research done on the products as of now anyways not to mention the cost.

Now with all that said and done let me start to tell you my experience with M.S. in my next post.

First when I run across a good way to help I Contribute as much time and help I can. There is a Giveaway for Marketers to raise money for M.S. Research right now looking for both Contributors and Members.
