I’ve been reminded this, when I went to open the front door, of where I reside.
I had a hard time getting to the door but I made it. It
was embarrassing for me, as I was in nighttime clothing, in the afternoon.
But now I’m glad to say, I did it. Okay I don’t look
good but with fatigue being a major factor of MS for me, I’m glad I was able to
do this.
So to all people with MS, please take pride of what we CAN do!
Light and Peace

That's what I've realised over the years, in helping us to come to terms, with having Multiple Sclerosis - MS.
I never
thought the day would come, where I’d lose my abilities to touch type, earn a
living or walk properly but such is the case, now I have MS.
So please, don’t
look on us as a bunch of scroungers but see us as we really are, as people who
are dealing with the cards that life has sent us, regardless of our sex, size,
race or age.
As I’ve said
before, life isn’t black or white for us but shades of grey.
My positive words for today, as I do want to say something nice: forgive yourself for not knowing then, what you realise now
Light and Peace,
Andria.
That means that it’s time for everyone to realise that
long-term disabled people, whether it’s physical or mental disabled, aren’t people
who are claiming because we are pulling a fast move, we are claiming because we
have no choice.
I liked having various skills, which meant I could get
various jobs and I did like having challenging jobs, which was reflected in my
pay.
Now I have no choice but to get other people to cook,
clean and collect my mail, as I cannot do this.
The skills I once had, are long gone. My speech
therapy classes are over, so I visit various sites on social media, buy certain
books and practice speaking wherever I can.
This is what comes with having Multiple Sclerosis, a
disability that destroys the nerve cells in the brain and the rest of the body,
which is why we end up in a wheelchair.
As have been shown on certain shows, too many of us are seen as easy targets and will end up victims of theft, even in our own homes.
I assure everyone, I’m not shopping in exclusive shops
or living the high-life anymore. I accept this is the way it is for me.
So please, realise these issues, explain why we make
our claims to the state.
Light and Peace
Andria.
