Just diagnosed with MS

[1yetta]

Hello All,

I was recently diagnosed with the onset of MS (Multiple Sclerosis)  and not quite sure how to deal with that along side of my RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy). I mean the RSD has been the struggle for me since October 2004, now I am faced with that and MS....UGH!!

I know there is a reason I have been given these to deal with and I believe that reason is for me to get closer to God and his words. I am a Christian  and on the right path to God, but I think I need to study his word more and more frequently then I have been doing. But I must be honest, right now I struggling between my own pity party and what it is God has in store for me to do that he has given me these debilitating diseases. Does that make sense?

When I was first diagnosed with RSD I thought it was a punishment for the way I lived my life up till then, and some of that is true, but now I know God has given me RSD because he wants me to do something as well as make changes in my life, which I have done....but now I think I didn't do things correctly so He has now given me MS and I seriously need to get my act together and do things to His liking. Not meaning that to sound in any way as a bad thing....Life is a never ending learning session and obviously I still have so much more to learn.  There is a reason and I will find that reason sooner or later.

I don't know what the future holds for me, nor do any of the rest of us, but I fully intend on making the most of my days and putting myself right with God!!!!

Thank you for listening to me vent as well as express myself, and I welcome any and all suggestions on anything I have written. And if you have any information regarding MS, I would appreciate that as well.

Peace & Blessings,

Marla
