Multiple Sclerosis…WOW…what more can I say ?

man look at those Dawson Fingers…..yeah they’re mine

Sooooooo, who knew? Really? I never would have guessed. The BIG M.S. Once again , WOW !!!

Looking at the big MRI films the Neurologist is showing you….. That weird feeling, where you get hot, then cold, then hot again…….where your hearing temporarily fuzzes out and all you hear is the…”wah wah wawa wah” of Charlie Brown’s teacher. You know…. ‘It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.’ You snap back to the present and….”Can you please repeat that Dr.?”

Words like Demyelination, Scleroses, ventricles, neurological deficits, disability, disease modifying medication, lumbar puncture, and Oligodendrocytes….float through the air…..bobbing up and down in front of your face.

Once again……WOW !!!

So, the new To Do list:

Look up Oligodendrocytes and Myelin

…..”proteins…fatty layer”…?

What does Demyelination mean?

…..sh*t, sh*t, sh*t….

Google the HELL out of Multiple Sclerosis

!!! DAMN IT !!!

Get a stiff drink…..heavy on the Vodka

…..Feel a little sorry for yourself…..

Start new ‘disease modifying medication’

…..Cry a little…..OUCH…..Damn It !!!…

Go to a MAJOR book retailer. Order a Grande Cafe Mocha with extra whipped cream and research M.S. some more……WAAAAAAAAY more than you probably should

SIGH…..and realize you have to come to terms with this diagnosis
