Oh, oh Part II

[Leonardo the 2nd]

For all who are interested to know..I wanted to give you an update now what exactly is with that illness.

A week ago, I had my 2nd MRI to see if there are changings. For luck, there are no new inflammation spots in my head, just the old scares I had in may. They also checked my cervical spine and there they found one.
Since years I have got a numb shoulder and I never knew how I got it...now I know, and so it must be the case that I have MS for some years already....That new/old spot in the cervical spine is responsible for the numb shoulder...at least my neurologist said so.

Earlier it "only" was a suspicion, but now it is definitive, that I have MS and my doc left the decision to me to take medicaments. I decided against it, since I dont really have a handicap and I still feel good. In 2 years I have to make a MRI again then, but if I get new symptoms, a new impulse within these 2 years, then I will have to inject those meds.

He said, that I could apply for a handicapped ID now....I really feel more belonging to the disabled people I work with instead of the careing personnel  *lol*

Yeah, understand not taking the meds till you need to... I hope things don't get to bad for ya, MS is not good. 

I'm thinking about ya and wishing you the best!

Hugs to you, Leo 2nd. My sympathies on such struggles. Certainly nothing to be ashamed of in having a disability, it's not like anyone asks for them, do they? You go through life and take what you are given, and make the best of it. A good attitude can take you a long way.

Thank you both  *hugs back* and you are right. There is no need to only see the negative sides...
