Hello - just wanted to say that sometime's the more I concern myself with my pain and fatigue the more pain & fatigue I have .. it can be a vicious cycle especially in the beginning stages of the MS journey .. I not only apply my Christian beliefs but those of Ghandi and Budha , am I wrong ?? No, being raised Eastern Orthodox teaches us of tolerance, understanding and love .. especially for those less fortunate than us ..   No one can tell you how, why or when .. your body will however let you know better than any answers offered here .. learning to get in tune with your inner self and body helps us to adjust to cliamate , work, school .. meditation is a great stress and anxiety reliever , yoga is awesome for what pain or stiffness and giving yourself a hug and a good cry now and then ..   If there were a counselor on campus , I would seek them out , finding that any form of release can ease worry and when we releive, worry we can also reduce pain .. relesing anger is just as important as releasing worry and as a "disabled person I can tell you my experience with a disability therapist for two years helped me slip into my old self after many tears , journals and speaking frankly and openly with another .. my therapist is/was blind , she understood my pain both in and out and was able to help give me tips ..   I still keep in contact via email as I am now 3 years out of therapy and living back in FL and she is in NM , my Mary .. my point is getting help outside your circle, comfort zone, religion and getting to know you better can help as well as journaling and really understanding what it is all about .. good luck and as always hope this made sense ...   Much love and peace ...
