As a couple
we are learning that a chronic disease diagnosis
is somewhat like wearing a blindfold.
But a cursed blindfold.
A blindfold you don't even know you're wearing until some one on the outside loosens it.
My husband has been experiencing some very specific symptoms
which we chalked up to MS.
Symptoms he somewhat tossed aside.
Symptoms that he learned to live with on the daily.
Symptoms that he has become so adapted to
that they don't even seem like 'symptoms' at all,
just a part of his 'norm' MS life.
But it now seems these 'symptoms' that 's he accommodated to.
Symptoms that he essentially ignores.
Is not the MS at all.
It's something else.
Wearing a blindfold can be dangerous.
It's not all fun and games.
