You're the main character in your life story, but you are merely an extra in the stories of thousands of others.
Every human you've encountered is living a life just as vivid, complex, and detailed as your own.
In 2021 Christina Applegate revealed that she had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This is a degenerative autoimmune disease in which the body attacks the brain and spinal column leaving holes or scars called lesions.
In 2011 I was diagnosed with MS after I lost control of the right side of my body temporarily. Later I would come to find out that this is called spasticity.
Every person with MS presents differently because there is no rhyme or reason to where the body chooses to attack. Christina has 30 lesions and her quality of life has become a great struggle. I have over 100 and for the most part I do okay. It's all about the area of the brain/spine that is attacked and what that area controls.
MS is called a silent disease because for the most part you don't know that we struggle with it.
As summer hits harder than a cocaine crash many of us with this disease heavily begin to struggle, because once that cerebral fluid starts to heat up everything starts to misfire... I was caught in the FL heat longer than I could handle yesterday, so today I'm weak and ill. My brain is foggy and all I want to do is sleep.
Many people struggle with hidden illnesses: Depression, Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, Cancer, HIV, Lupus, etc. No ones struggle is any greater or more important than anyone else's.
To all those struggling, I see you.
I understand your hidden physical pain.
I know what it's like to feel like you're half a person.
I will be sporadic, and I can't really help that because sometimes my body hates me, lol
We all have our stuff.
This is just mine.
My fear? Declining as badly as Christina Applegate has. I have unending levels of sympathy for her, but I'm scared to death of becoming her.... 😔
For too long, people have thought of the airwaves and waterways as “public” property that is best controlled by government. However, Murray Rothbard and others held that one could apply the institution of private property to both. | @thiagovscoelho

@eurekaskastle No one said that. Not one person. What they said is that it was not something they got all the time. It was an unnecessary expense and it was more cost effective to eat at home.
