'but you don't look sick'

this is something i have heard A LOT recently, i am aware that i don't look sick, that i look just like any other 23 year old but that's the thing with INVISIBLE illnesses, the clue is in the name, you can't see it from the outside, but let me tell you i definitely feel it on the inside.

i'm also fed up of people telling me it's all in my head, you wouldn't be saying that if you woke up feeling dizzy, or if you couldn't feel your leg, i get that most people don't get it, and that's fine, but please don't belittle me and tell me i'm imagining it, because believe me i wish i was.

i found this description on facebook  and thought it was pretty accurate, i don't suffer from all of these symptoms and they aren't there 100% of the time, but the joys of Multiple Sclerosis is that you don't know when a symptom is going to hit and how long it's going to last.

now that i have had my rant i will go to something more positive...

I AM ALMOST 7 MONTHS RELAPSE FREE!!

this is a massive deal for me, since getting my diagnosis almost 2 years ago the longest i have been relapse free is 7 months, i am so close to beating that so i am feeling positive. :D

since i last posted i have also been discharged from my neuro physiotherapist this was daunting for me at first, but i have now realised that it is a good thing, i have been given a number to ring if i ever need to get in touch again but he said that he'd done all he could for me and that he could see improvements and i just needed to keep at it :)
