Having to come to terms with not being as sharp as i use to be, and this shit has caused me to lose a step.

The basics of M.S. is your immune system attacks the cords in your nervous system which is why it can handicap someone in so many ways. As of this writing i can still walk, run, and maintain my balance after being formally diagnosed a decade and a half ago. ( only other thing was losing feeling on the right side of my body which allowed me to catch it early, and that feeling came back after starting treatment) However, those attacks have left lesions in my brain...Above the average of someone without it.

It's freaky really...always had trouble with people's names, and directions when i was younger, but i'm in that in between where i am aware of just how slow i process some formation, or retain memory to not misplace things.

Not making this to bitch, and moan but rather say if you have a family member who has it keep in mind it can be embarrassing to admit to memory issues, or not being as quick with things, so lay off, and don't be a jerk. May live alone, but damned if I said i did everything on my own.

You live long enough life will teach you how to work around it. Make no mistake about it I'm one of the lucky ones.
