One not for the faint of heart.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07890715800273372678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782851813932033648.post-2613639983902444202012-02-05T19:37:21.108-08:002012-02-05T19:37:21.108-08:00Wow, sure glad you can keep a positive outlook wit...Wow, sure glad you can keep a positive outlook with this thing because I sure can't. <br />It's really hard to see anything at all positive in having this despicable disease which has swallowed my life & spit it out as a mere wraith of what it once was. My mobility was and is everything to me. as my passion is gardening & I live in the country where all the roads have no sidewalks, up on a hill with a long gravel driveway which is no longer accessible to me as I stumble in the gravel and I can't walk downhill without falling (and no, a walker doesn't work in the gravel)<br /><br />I've just recently been diagnosed with MS at the age of 62 with the cute comment by the diagnosing neurologist that he pretty much thought I had MS when he first saw me over two years ago and that he shoud have sent me for a brain scan then but well he just didn't bother to. That was two years ago when I didn't need a cane & would have started physio then that I'm doing now struggling to maintain any ability to walk. Three years ago I asked my GP if I had MS and she told me "no you don't.<br /><br />After being treated like this by my medical providers I'm feeling pretty depressed - like I wasn't worth bothering about and they really didn't care at all about my life. With jerks like that around me I don't need enemiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
