What helps stabilise MS?
An Outsiders Perspective
In other words I don't really know what i'm talking about, though Sylvie might disagree, it's just what i've picked up rather than resarched or expeienced. So, in no particular order, what might help MS is
Diet
Getting the right balanced diet for you. This could be very different
from the next person with MS. It means avoiding ones allergies and getting enough of all
nutrients (oh and not cheating too much)
Mental Attitude
Being positive, bloody minded and perservering despite
everything. Yes I can make it and will not give up and fade away from life. (Easier said than
done. Shout and scream as much as you need and find someone to accept those midnight phone
calls)
Meditiation
Relaxing, clearing ones mind, this helps to bring one back, it
seems, to a positive plain.
A Goal or Purpose
Something 'realistic' to work towards. These will vary
widely between individuals and over time.
Sex
Or should that be love making? The fulfilment of being a loving and loved
person not just an isolated individual.
Friends
People to turn to during times, good and bad when one can't talk to family.
Family
People to turn to during times, good and bad when one can't talk to friends.
Pets
People to turn to during times, good and bad when one can't talk to family or
friends.
Luck
No need to say more.
Independence
The ability to get around and do things for onesself, so one doesn't feel like
a negative burden but like a positive contributor.
The Inter-net
The link to others who can really understand and relate. Something family and
friends, not having MS, 'fortunatly' cannot do.
It is not one thing that's the answer but many in a mix that varies between people and over time and which the above are just a few suggestions that come readily to mind to an ignorant outsider, there are many many more!
