Project Plain Jane

David! So good to hear from you...A place of honour eh? I'll take that with a grain of salt lol.But thanks anyways!:prayer: It's uplifting when folks care enough to check up on me.

I think one of the biggest challenges mentally about M.S is that folks get frustrated,impatient or think your lying about your illness. You become isolated,and depressed. So I found reaching out to others helpful. Offer to assist them,or just listen and doors open.Then again some people are just azzholes. I was yelled at for taking my time through a crosswalk this summer,some young punk in a blue Ford p/u that his Daddy probably paid for.It was the heat of summer,that really makes me slow down,can't be helped.

My wife insists I am a fool,and people will just use me. Thats on them ,not me.And I always operate within my limits,to preserve my gains in health so I don't backslide. Im at the point now where I can run all day,and end up exhausted with a huge accomplishment list at the end of the day. But that always comes with a cost; the next day I am burned out and MUST rest.If I overdo it,that will cause a flare in symptoms and I spend a week resting,then 2-3 weeks getting going again. So I am very,very careful how much I take on,and always listen to what my body is telling me.
