I have decided not to think about the fact that I have MS.  If I don't think about it I feel better.  Almost forgetting that I have it, except there are certain things that makes it hard for me to forget.  One of the most annoying ones is my tastebuds.  I don't know how many of my fellow online MS friends have this problem but I cannot enjoy foods any longer because my ability to taste has diminished.  This is upsetting to me because I love food but without the ability to taste the full flavor of anything I just don't have the desire to eat anymore.  Some might think this is a good thing because as a side effect you will end up losing weight and won't have the desire to overindulge.  That's ok, but man, do I miss my flavor.  I can't tell the difference between a poor quality meal or an excellent quality meal.  You guys just don't understand how much of an annoyance this is to me.  So diminished tastebud sensory is one of the problems that MS has brought me.  Rather trival yes, it could be worse.  It's not the only thing I have to deal with, it's just the one that was on my mind today, so forgive me.  I just miss food.
