I have read many comments and posts from men and women who are newly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. They talk of helplessness, confusion, relief, anger, anxiety and fear of the unknown. These are all feelings that I experienced when a neurologist first informed me about this disease that would be with me for the remainder of my life. 

There were and still are days and minutes that I struggle with them, but I believe that at some point I wander into acceptance and move on with my life the way that it is.

I still have days that knock me down but I have so many things to be thankful for on those in between days. I try to do as many things as I did in the past with help from family and friends.  

To all those newly diagnosed, keep pushing forward and you might just become a survivor!
