"Only my reaction to it is entirely my responsibility." This line in particular resonats for me. I am just beginning to learn this. I have reacted to each experience in my life with a dramatic knee-jerk and I am just learning to notice it. I may still not control it in the moment but in the long run I am dwelling less.
Yeah...this is wise advice indeed. But it does seem that some of us are given so much to deal with...it is really hard not to just...react. I like to go into my shower and scream and wail myself.
I hope you are doing well and I want to thank you for coming by to read and comment. I will be visiting your site soon. Sorry for being so neglectful lately. Life, as always, is nutty nuts.
MS sucks. All the marketing in the world can never change that. Drugs may be of some benefit but until they cure, restore and prevent, that's the best opinion I've ever read of MS.
The whole interview is to me, extraordinary. In his demeanor and writing to his advice for patients and doctors. I like the breathe thing and intend to do more of it.
I've, though he doesn't know me, just met a man I like and respect.
I Find that we all know deep in our gut that something is wrong and unfortunately people and doctors don't hear us. The key thing is to never give up hope and realize that someone will listen.
Great article! I learned a lot about MS when I thought I knew it all.
I am with you. I think Stephen gave a remarkable interview. I am gaining so much by reading how other's perceive this illness and how they make sense of such chaos. I like how Stephen looks at the big picture as a way to cope. And yes...MS sucks...big time. I do thank you for your words and I am glad that this interview has resonated with you.
