“So perhaps you could balance the depressing stuff with posts on how to stay mentally strong and how to stay as healthy as possible . You may need a counsellor in your blogging team for that.”
I’ve decided to post about a few MS role models – people who have taken a positive approach to their diagnosis who may provide inspiration to those tired of hearing about incontinence, depression and dementia!
Chris Wright is a professional basketball player who was diagnosed with MS in 2012 following an episode of foot drop and leg numbness. He was ‘outed’ by a newspaper and people began writing him off. Wright visited a number of neuros who tried to encourage him to end his career. He finally came upon a neuro with a far more positive approach and told him he should continue to play and started him on Tysabri. He is still playing professional basketball today.
When asked about his future, Wright states:
“Sometimes it may not be the perfect situation, but you’ve got to find a way to make it the perfect situation for yourself. Every obstacle has something good and bad out of it.”
It can be reduced.
But cognitive impariment is found even with RIS so it can't be avoided.
Good idea, Arie
Thanks Arie. Really helps me out of my wheelchair
Good idea – grow where you are planted
