Kathy Tucker, Health Crisis
It’s interesting how a disease such as MS which at present is not curable can be a life changer for The Good! You are thinking. ..is she nuts too? No I definitely am not. I am faithful & strong.
I was clinically diagnosed 13 years ago with relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis. I am not going to lie I knew before the doctors told me that this is what I had & to say it was tough to hear it would be an understatement. What I did find is a peace in learning how the medical research had come a long way from when my grandmother was diagnosed & living with it many years ago. I knew in order to go forward I had to do a few things. The first was faith in knowing I had this to be the strength for those who were not strong enough to move ahead in their lives. I knew I had to change myself in how I lived my every day life such as eating, sleeping, exercising & just my day to day stresses & mobility. Lastly but definitely the most important was to be Kathy. I am not MS I am a woman who has it & lives with it daily but it does not own/make me who I am.
I am blessed to have a superb support system in my family, friends & church.
The purpose here is to not give up! Ever! If I can help just one person whether they live with MS or any other disease or addiction then I know I have done what I was meant to do.
