It is easy to lose track of how many times in a day I am asked “how are you”. Most times the answer is “I’m fine how are you?” Pretty standard response, although there are times when I would like to answer with “I feel like crap!” When I have a day in which I focus on all the painful and crazy symptoms of MS my negativity shows through. 

Then there is a day like today. A visit with my neurologist revealed that in nearly five years off of a DMT, my brain and cervical MRI is totally stable. This doesn’t mean that I am symptom free, as previous damage remains, but a definite win for today. Other wins, include no UTI is present, my gums are healing and my back is improving every single day. 

So if you asked me today “how are you?” I can truthfully say “I’m fine” and mean it.
