Usually, change occurs gradually, but there are times when our entire world is altered in the time it takes to say, ‘unpredictability’. The first day I heard the words Multiple Sclerosis associated with myself, I was afraid, shocked and confused. I was in perfect health and in shape, seemingly immune from disease. For a long time, I believed they must have gotten it wrong. After all, there was no way a bodybuilder could ever become ill!
I began writing in a journal,so I would have a diary of symptoms to recall for my neurologist, but before long I was putting all of my deepest feelings on paper. Although I still have my bad days, with a plethora of symptoms that come and go according to their own schedule, I've learned to accept my situation. The ability to focus on the positive, even if it’s something ‘small’ is the key to living well with MS.
People often ask me if it's hard to perform stand-up comedy when you have MS, but don't worry, I always set them straight. I tell them, "after 25 years with MS, it's amazing I can stand-up, at all."
