MS Living
Found this article interesting in my MSF (Multiple Sclerosis Foundation) Magazine. In it contains an article about the Seven Habits of Highly Successful MSers. Love that! Written by Herb Karpatkin.
1. Be Proactive
2.Maintain and active lifestyle
3. Be aware of the psychological issues that result from the physical ones
4.Assemble a team of specialists
5. Exercise to address specific aspects of your disease, not just for wellness/fitness
6.Think long term
7.Have goals outside of MS
I want to expand on that last one because I like what he says.
"MS can be an all consuming disease if you let it. It is important to have an identity apart from it. Having goals, dreams, and aspirations that are separate from MS asserts that one is a person with a variety of interests. Having goals is a unique aspect of being human. It motivates and defines us. This is not to say that successfully managing one's own disease is not worthy goal. However, it should not be the only goal.
MS is a disease that will affect those who have it in multiple and often unpredictable ways during a lifetime. This does not mean that we are powerless in the face of the disease. People who have had powerful and meaningful lives in spite of the MS are often able to do so because they have used strategies which increase their sense of control over the disease, and therefore over their lives. I urge all people with MS to consider how these qualities can become useful for them."
Makes ya think, huh?
