7 months update
Got diagnosed 7 months ago RRMS i really really struggled to deal with it. I am on techfidera and luckily with 0 side effects.
I lost 35 ibs. Gained muscle lifting weights 4 times a day. Playing tennis and basketball 4 times a week as well. Tennis really helped with regaining my coordination. And after practicing A LOT i am actually playing even better.
Taking long walks, going on dates, doing well at my job. I even sunbathe. Yet I struggle to tell people that I have MS. I don’t think they’d understand. I am 6’4 and look really fit now but I have worked so HARD so so hard to pick myself up from all those sleepless nights of self pitying and get myself where i am today. I am proud that i did and i still hold on.
Even coming back to this sub and reading couple of posts was enough for me to burst into tears. Yes i am still scared. I know its gonna strike again dunno when dunno how. But i get out of that mindset and just focus on now. Most of my days even I forget that i have ms. All i can do is just to be as fit as i can be and enjoy these days.
Yes MS taught me to live in the moment. I used to overthink, even use to scare to talk to a girl, tolerate bullshit… Now it’s the total opposite. I just dont hold myself back anymore cause i know i have to make the best of days. And that’s exactly what I have been doing.
