Message 5: physical therapy/leg spasms

[Guest guest]

Marcie, I generally do what you do--I keep my symptoms to myself, because

certainly I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me. (Well, to some extent

my boyfriend's an exception.) By accepting MS I don't mean giving in to it.

It's more a question of coming to terms with it and finding a way to feel

more serene. I'm still upset and frustrated, which can't be helping my

healing. Lately I'm wondering if I'm depressed enough for medication,

something I've never done before. I do know that I'm in pretty good shape

compared to a lot of people who post. I work full-time, only my legs are

affected, and I don't need assistive equipment. It's not even that I

believe I'll get worse, but I do have faith in LDN. I've always been a big

walker, living in Manhattan. I'm going to Paris for three weeks in July, a

city I know quite well and I always walk everywhere when I go. But not this

time. Anyway, I guess I'm still feeling rather sorry for myself.

Thanks for the feedback.
