Living with Multiple Sclerosis
Translated from spanish Improve translation
Living with multiple sclerosis is not easy. Multiple sclerosis is not a disease of a day or a week. It is a chronic disease with which we have to live the rest of our lives to not be discovered before the cure (which every day seems to be closer). Are years living with different symptoms, such as fatigue, weakness, aches and pains and different medical problems that are emerging. Anything that being good is simple to do, with exhaustion or debilitating symptoms is difficult, so that life is more complicated if you have multiple sclerosis. There are better times in which the disease gives us a breather and times worse in the that, due to an outbreak or worsening of the disease symptoms can be very disabling. You can still be happy. You have to learn to enjoy the small things in life. Don't look at what you can't do that when you have multiple sclerosis, but in all the things that you can keep doing and learn to enjoy them. Choose the path that you would like to go and be happy by wading into it. No matter the destination, matters savoring every moment of the trip. In life we play a few cards that we can not choose, but we can learn how to play with them and win. With the best hand of poker you can lose the game and with the worst cards you can win. With the worst of circumstances you can get to be happy and with the best circumstances you can be unhappy. Don't expect to be best for you to start to enjoy or to be happy. Perhaps in a few months or years when you're worse and you would give anything to be as you are today. Therefore, you must try to enjoy the day even if you aren't feeling well at all, enjoy it, grab it and savor every moment that gives you life. That day will be passed and will not return. Only us will be the memories of the best moments lived. Find your passion, the reason you're here. Generally helping other people is one of the most rewarding things of life. Help them overcome difficult times or to make them more bearable the way, as we'd like to help us. To share joys and sorrows with other people also boosts happiness. The good things shared are the double of good. The bad things shared are half bad.

Someone once stated to me that people are like batteries.
Most people have 10 bars of battery a day, they use one for every small activity during the day and two for the big ones. The way I'd describe someone with MS is that they may have 5 or 6 bar of energy instead. This means we have to be wiser on how we spend our energy. Where someone may use half a bar taking a shower we can take two, for example. We need to save up our bars if not the next day starts off even more difficult, we may go twin to three bars. For me, living with MS means moderating everything in my life from how much energy I spend to how I spend it. It took me a long time to come to terms with my prognosis but now that I have, it's out everything into perspective for me. I ignore trivial problems, focus on what's important, meditate and live a fulfilling life we'll things considered

OF COURSE YOU CAN BE HAPPY WITH EM, YOU NEED A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM TO ONE, BOTH PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL, BUT FOR THE MOST PART DEPENDS ON THE ONE, HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS A DISEASE INCURABLE AND PROGRESSIVE, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MEDICINES THAT SLOW THE PROGRESSION OF THIS NEVER TO TOTALLY AND IT IS BEST TO TREAT IN LOPOSIBLE TO MAKE A LIVING LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON.

I don't know how you can be happy with multiple sclerosis but resisting to the difficulty of the day-to-day sometimes we can live pleasant moments.
I live alone and I try to keep myself busy all day.

Try not to think too much about your condition. We can be happy, each in his own way and try to do what makes us happy. Not to think about what can happen to evil, as to any person.
