Single for life. I wasn’t for a long time, but MS and relationships don’t seem to play well. Not right now anyways
My doctors and a number of friends have had some pretty interesting discussions with me in regards to disease effects and progress, as well as recovery. I appreciate you taking the time to post these - I’ll give them a watch, always open to new ideas, never know if these are until I see them right?
I’ve heard the raw food diet can be helpful - and I’ve already included some of that in my daily regime. Admittedly I love cooked food too much, but it does make a difference. One of the first things I did was eliminated processed food - things like processed cheese, mystery meats (hot dogs are the best example of that) Up until about 3 years ago was strictly symptom management - they had no idea what was going on, but doctors and scientists have actually come up with treatments that encourage healing. I’m kind of happy I wasn’t diagnosed earlier, I spent a year using the “Doctor House” treatment (Interferon), which was hell - I took a shot after work on Friday, and then had flu symptoms until Sunday afternoon/evening. Basically I gave up my only days off to reduce effects of the disease. After a year they switched me to an immune suppression therapy that has no side effects - one pill a day. Of course, the pill is expensive... $96 a day, thankfully my insurance covers that. I’ve been getting stronger and more comfortable for a few years - had a backslide last year while I was in a relationship, and she helped pick up some of the slack for me. That wasn’t helpful at all, because it allowed me to just relax and do less than I needed to be doing to improve - I’m back on being self reliant and active, it it’s helping a lot. And that is why I’m not really looking for a relationship right now - too much support means I push myself less, and that’s not good. I do miss cuddles though
No. I don't play the selfie game. If the right woman came along, I might consider it, but as it stands right now, I am enjoying being single and intend to stay that way.
So why quote the post that said, "Happily single. Definitely not looking for a relationship at this time" and ask me to post selifies? Your request has nothing to do with my response.
Single for almost 2 years now. Don't mind it though. I can't really adapt to relationships when I'm in them. Like having the person around all the time and having to do stuff with them, telling them where I am and stuff. It ends up being more of a burden to me than something I look forward to. I like being on my own more than I like having this sort of responsability/imposition.
