Here it is week six and I am supposed to have something ready to turn into my fellow classmates and all I have is my rough draft of my introduction.
Multiple Sclerosis is a Chronic illness that changes one's life a lot. First a person has to get a diagnosis, which can take a little time or months, years, which the waiting itself is a horrible thing. I was lucky my Doctor did all the right testing so that the Neurologist was able to give me a certain diagnosis, with only one more scary test in the hospital, a spinal tap was my final step to my new life with MS.I was told that my immune system was eating the myelin sheath the coating on the nerves in my brain,like I knew what that meant. However the waiting can be so long that you end up with anxiety, and depression running you life along with the symptoms of MS. Symptoms can be vision changes to total loss of vision, numbness that feels like you foot is asleep but it never wakes up and can be quite painful,problems walking properly, another words you can eat a lot of carpet, and kiss a lot of walls trying to walk.The ugliness of MS can also cause bladder and bowl problems. Changes in personality which friends and family don't understand that we do not have control of these changes.Overall learning to live with MS is like starting your life over, learning how to adjust your life to compensate for your new friend MS. How does one learn to cope with all the changes MS brings into your life?

Hope,
ReplyDeleteI can understand your frustration getting started. Here is kind of how I see your paper's progression.
1. Defining MS
2. The process of diagnosing MS
3. Learning to live with MS (Make sure that in addition to what you have discovered, get sources that describe proven therapies.)
I don't know if that helps you, but from reading your posts it is how I see the paper.
Thank you Dian I am glad you posted that I did not think that I had three points so that helps me a lot. I am writing this in the first person because I have MS so I have been through all of these issues at one time or another so what you said helps me out more then you will ever know so thank you so much I needed someone's opinion eithe good or bad and you gave me some positive feed back so thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope your paper is going well for you.
