Someone once stated to me that people are like batteries.
Most people have 10 bars of battery a day, they use one for every small activity during the day and two for the big ones. The way I'd describe someone with MS is that they may have 5 or 6 bar of energy instead. This means we have to be wiser on how we spend our energy. Where someone may use half a bar taking a shower we can take two, for example. We need to save up our bars if not the next day starts off even more difficult, we may go twin to three bars. For me, living with MS means moderating everything in my life from how much energy I spend to how I spend it. It took me a long time to come to terms with my prognosis but now that I have, it's out everything into perspective for me. I ignore trivial problems, focus on what's important, meditate and live a fulfilling life we'll things considered
