This is not my advice…this is the advice from James Coke, aka…The Disabled Chef….but I couldn’t have put it better myself…I hope you will all agree with him, as I do…I hope he doesn’t mind if this is shared on our MS forum…This was printed in my monthly or quarterly MS magazine from the mstrust.org.uk…
What advice would you give someone who’s just been diagnosed with MS..
Quote: Ok it’s a scary time. It’s life changing and it’s impossible not to feel bleak about the future, but it’s certainly not the end of the world.Everyone ends up having a monkey on their back at some stage in their lives and MS is a big one, but you can carry it. Always try to be positive and find value with your achievements. However small they are, each one is a stepping stone leading to something better and you’ve got to keep on that path. Finally, don’t ever surrender. I’ve learnt many things since diagnosis but mainly that and it is something I’ll take to the grave with me…

Wise words, thank-you for sharing that Jackie !

Yes fighting stuff, isn’t it?….
I believe this is all part of our test here on earth…this is a test of seeing what we are made of and preparing us for that next world…only then will we be free of all manners of illnesses, diseases and pain….But it is not yet the end of our world, as quoted from James Coke…so we have to adapt and find other alternatives while we can, and the best way we can…We still have a life to live…and hopefully still enjoy, and to make a difference in this world…

Even a pair of deuces can be a winning hand if you play it right.

So true, Jackie! Never giving up and finding ways to adapt, that is my MS motto too! Plus, fitting some joy, faith and hope in there also!:)
lol Great analogy, Ed!
