Hi Ed. I’m not bitter about MS either – it’s just one of those things. We’re highly complicated biological machines so it’s very easy for something to go wrong – the odds are long. We’ve unfortunately won the anti-lottery. Still the odds on being born at all are possibly one in 400 trillion!
I’ve only had MS for 10 years – my first symptom actually happened on a tennis court 12 years ago! I ruptured my shoulder when I fell running for a drop shot. I wasn’t much good at the game either! In 2012 I started wheelchair tennis at a major training venue – handily just down the hill from my house. I lasted 5 years till MS stopped me – guess I am bitter about that.
Don’t like the rain? Neither does Donald Trump! Is it a hair thing?
