Everyone doesn't have advocates telling
the world how bad M.S. is to live with day in and day out knowing you
are unlikely to get any better because the disease is progressive and so
far there is no cure. I quoted some of Ms. Ward's blog to echo her kind words.
M.S. is a disease of fatigue and quiet suffering but you cannot afford negative thoughts. Maintain an attitude of hope, manage your energy by having priorities and stay positive. Avoid self-pity.
Vicky Ward: Hilary Rosen Should Donate to Multiple Sclerosis Foundations
Like Ann Romney( wife of Mitt the Presidential candidate) , Vicky Ward's sister suffers from Multiple Sclerosis.
"Every time I've watched Ann Romney up there on that podium late at night with her husband, all that energy flowing during the Primaries, I am amazed.
Because I know how tough it is for people who suffer from MS to manage their energy. I know that the later in the day it gets, the harder it is for them -- and no matter how rich you are, there is no magic bullet to make you feel better or the weakness go away.
Drugs can help but at the end of the day you have to manage your days and your time so you do not get overtired. Ann Romney has said she copes very well with a mixture of Eastern and Western medicines -- and she looks great.
The article provided a useful reference to an alternative treatment group:
Scott Johnson, the CEO and founder of the Myelin Repair Foundation -- a non-profit organization looking at alternative treatments for the disease, has had MS for 36 years. He said, "MS is a secret disease. Far more people have it than is documented."
