So World MS day was yesterday on May 30th and I did not make any posts about this. I did not ignore World MS Day because I do support the research, but MS is something that plagues my life everyday and it takes so much out of me. My energy level has been pretty low lately and I have been dealing with a lot of fatigue and PAIN! I only want to share information when I can put my heart
and soul into writing, but unfortunately yesterday just was not the day! I am trying my best to make up for this today
!
Y’all know that I have battled MS for almost 18 years without ever giving into the illness. I made myself a promise when I was diagnosed that I would never allow this to control my life and that someday I would win the fight! I am a strong believer that positive thoughts brings positive things into our lives, but you also know sometimes that is easier said than done! MS adds so many different issues to everyone’s life and none of these fun difficulties are the same for anyone! We all experience this illness in similar, but also different ways. I guess maybe that is the reason it has been so difficult for the doctor’s to figure out a cure, but someday I must believe it will happen for us!
My journey with MS started when I had lost vision in my left eye, but thankfully the vision came back after a few days of steroids. Y’all already know that steroids are never any fun, but I have definitely had my fair share of this not so pleasant and I guess helpful drug. Over my years with MS, I have experienced so much pain at times and numbness at others, it has been absolutely miserable! But I still refuse to give in and keep fighting a good fight!
I hope y’all have had a good Friday Eve and hope you are looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend! I really hope y’all are feeling well and of course staying as positive as you possibly can! We all must stay strong to fight through this illness until the wonderful day of a cure. Please never lose hope for this because I do believe it is going to happen for us! Your comments are really appreciated and I love to read them. I do my very best to respond as quickly as I can! I will continue to always send you LOTS of love and comfort!
Always, Alyssa

Thank you SO much! I honestly felt guilty for not doing something to support World MS Day, but my mind and heart just were not in it at all! We all need a break sometimes and even though blogging helps me, a break was needed! XX

Me and Dizzy didn’t do a post for World MS Day either, for the same reasons. It’s not that we didn’t want to support it but we were feeling pretty sleepy and just not in the writing mood to write a post for it. xx
I hope you feel better soon. 🙂 xxx

MS is such a pain – it really slows us down between actual pain and fatigue. I sort of joke that it’s the universe’s way of slowing those of us down who like to do everything. It “handicaps” us to give others a fighting chance to compete. Without MS we’d be unstoppable!
It’s a bad joke, but it gets me to lighten up during the times I feel frustrated over having to slow down when I have so much to do. Be well and enjoy your weekend!

Thank you for reading and commenting! I love the way you view why MS slows us down. I couldn’t agree more. If only we did not have this illness we would not give anyone else a fighting chance! I honestly enjoyed your joke and it does lighten things up a bit!!! I hope you have nice weekend as well!!
