I read a comment that said “it’s just MS”

Can you imagine that? It’s JUST MS. It’s only stupid little MS! This Goliath that my David will never be able to beat is just simply and only MS.

I’m baffled but it’s a little exciting. I think we’re in a transitional time when it comes to how this is viewed and what living with MS looks like. I say “I think” because so much is still unknown in terms of how long can DMTs stave off progression, how can progression be reversed, what else can be done to give a good quality of life, all that important stuff that we still don’t know and are finding out concurrent to me writing this. I know MS is coming for me and I don’t get to know when or how, but I’m hopeful that one day it won’t be so bad. I’m hopeful that one day how awful this can be will be forgotten and everyone can think: “oh, it’s just MS, whatever.” I wish that that was true now. I want that to be true very soon!

Hope can only do so much but it’s all (for better or worse) exciting, even though I wish so badly I didn’t have to know so much about this condition. I was 16 at the beginning and I’m about to be 24, so much has already changed DMT-wise. Onward to what’s to come and I hope you’re all there cheering on the positive progress and living the good lives we all deserve to live!
