Tingling, Numbness, and what's with this sway?
Something is wrong, and its not going away.
Please oh please doc, I know something's not right.
"You're a fat, you smoke, you don't sleep at night".
Change the way you live, things will be fine.
So I try to explain, my body's not mine.
As I sit there in tears, all hope being lost.
I beg for some treatment, no matter the cost..
Finally, he decides, a specialist I would see,
I meet a neurologist, and begin a testing spree.
Pinched and poked, taking pictures of my brain,
Somehow I knew life would never be the same.
A diagnosis was made, I was not losing my mind,
I have a disease called MS, and it's not easy to find.
MS?, How'd I get this, was this a dead end?
Was my life over, should I share this with family and friends?.
I'm in my early 30's this couldn't be happening to me.
I was invincible, and as strong as could be.
Information overload, too much too fast!!!
Was this critical, How long would I last?
OK OK, its here to stay,
This odd disease, that changes from day to day.
Now I sit and cry, blaming God, and hating life.
How will I continue to be good mother and wife?
After the crying, I made a a vow,
I would stop and fight this disease right here and now.
I was pleased to find life does go on.
This was manageable, but would never be gone.
I decide to accept and do what was right,
So I put my best foot forward and joined the fight.
A cure will be found, it may take while.
I will live each day, and not forget to smile.
I know there are others just like me,
Trying to find some normalcy.
I don't think, about the future, I live for the day,.
MS and Me
We are both here to stay.
