Alive Again!

May 18, 2010
By

So wonderful to feel so good and alive again!  I have MS, and it sure kicked me to the curb for the Winter.  I was just plain OUT and down for the count.  When you are so fatigued you can barely function, it isn’t a highly fulfilling life.  Hard to accomplish much when you are asleep – except to gain weight!

I did finally learn how to knit socks, and for my fine-motor movement-impaired brain, that was a greater accomplishment that becoming a lawyer.  Still pleased with that and now addicted to knitting.  Thank you to the University of YouTube and the folks at KnitPicks.com for all the great instructional videos.  While alone, unable to do much with MS fatigue, it helped me retain some sanity – and now I have a hobby I love.  Have you ever worn homemade socks – they are heaven!

Most of you probably don’t know, but the major reason why people with MS end up disabled is not because of movement difficulties.  The number one reason is fatigue – you just cannot (and I mean cannot) stay awake and functioning.  It had me in its grasp like a python.

I’ve been blessed that my MS has been slow, rearing its ugly head in odd ways throughout my life, then disappearing (another trait of many types of MS).  My mobility wasn’t affected and my main difficulty in life has always been fatigue.  It sure had me this time, wouldn’t let up and if you aren’t already prone to depression, let me tell you months of withdrawal from life and people because you can’t get out will hammer you with it.  Sure did it to me.

When my good friend, also with MS, told me she was about to embark on a new supplement regimen of optimal liquid nutrition, I listened and thought “yeah, yeah, (snake oil) good luck.”  But as I watched the undeniable and overwhelming improvement in her entire physical condition, I could no longer deny she might be onto something and decided I have to try it.

Almost immediately, the depression was gone (not lessened – GONE), the fatigue lifted and improves every day.  In less than a week, I was up, out and awake.  Other physical problems that come with autoimmune diseases like MS, things I’d learned just to live with, disappeared (I won’t bore you with details).  Thank God and my friend forever.  I’ve rejoined life – and for those of you who never left it, you can’t imagine how beautiful, wonderful, awesome it is.  I am so grateful.

And now it’s Springtime to boot!  Yes, I’m still knitting socks – but no longer is it because it was the only thing I could do.  Now I do it for relaxation and fun (ok – I’m addicted to knitting, it happens).

So blessed to be alive again!

    You lost me, buddy. I mean, I imagine I get what youre indicating. I have an understanding of what you are saying, but you just appear to have overlooked that you will find some other people inside the world who see this matter for what it genuinely is and may possibly not agree with you. You may possibly be turning away a decent amount of folks who may have been followers of your blog.

    At some point, I just simply wished-for that people today would step back and look at the more substantial picture. Most people tend to get displaced in virtually all the specifics that we forget about about what definitely is important. That could be why despite the fact that the prior opinions higher than do present outstanding specifics, they’re off a small.
