The disease unites us more (Valentine's Article)

Thanks Gilda for sharing the above wonderful information!  Regardless what illness, problem(s), any of us have, think it is always so healthy to share with one another because it helps remind us all that no one is truly alone in experiencing some pretty daily, frustrating signs and symptoms but as John Louis said above - one of the most important things we all need to do is to keep "fighting" and keep as positive as we can................I really do believe "the mind is stronger than the body" and I am certainly becoming more and more determined as my MS is becoming increasingly problematic, symptomatic and so interferes with my daily life, keep finding more ways to try to combat this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Like yourself, being almost 64 yrs old in the next few months, eternally grateful that my MS only started to seriously interfere with everything I do about 8 years ago, therefore have been able to lead the majority of my life with a good quality of life.  Even now, perhaps due to my condition changing on an almost hourly basis for the past 2 yrs, find I am learning new things, having new positive experiences daily............it is certainly an interesting journey and don't think I would changer this for the world! 

I would like to take this opportunity to wish, Gilda, yourself and your family and every single member in this online community a very Happy Valentines Day tomorrow, especially the "younger" members who have not been as fortunate as us "older" ones if +/or when they have not been able to experience the relatively more "healthy" years that some of us have had.  So happy to have "found" this community and feel/hope we will all grow stronger and wiser and be able to more fully and positively embrace each day we have. x

Thanks for your words Ann, they are really beautiful and we are really happy to see that you are motivated and that this page can do something for you. 

As you say we must always look for positive experiences. 

Thanks a lot for the good wishes and here at Carenity we also wish you and your family all the best.

Gilda
