My MS Warrior

This daughter of mine…

Is an MS Warrior...she’s MY MS Warrior...

Three years….seems like yesterday…seems like forever ago...double vision lasting for months….doctors…Mayo Clinic...MRIs...blood tests…lumbar puncture…neurologists…ophthalmologist...and the Wicked Witch of the West supposed support nurse….we shall call Diane…

This girl of mine…fresh out of college…excited for the future…she was scared…but you’d never know it…because of that smile. ..

New job…new city…modifying disease therapies…injections three times a week…side effects…painful bruised injection sites….intense flu-like symptoms…every day…she was sick…but you’d never know it…because of that smile...

Different meds…the insurance runaround…nerve pain…numbness…headaches…fatigue…her body attacking itself…she feels tired…some days…of…it…all…but you’d never know it…because of that smile...

This girl…my first born…her mama would take this curse if she could…kiss the boo boo…make the pain go away…but she settles for knowing her sweetheart cares and makes her eat when she doesn’t feel like it…and her furry friend gets her out walking…even when her legs are tired...

So this month of March…we wear orange proudly...lifting up those with MS and others who overpower their struggles...with a smile... 

Won't you join us...help increase awareness…

And this beauty of mine…agrees.
