purpose

Well, I forget what day of steroids I am on, which is good thing I have a pill box.  I am going to see a new Neurologist tomorrow, one who doesn't specialize in MS but one who is actually plagued by the disease herself.  I am looking for a different perspective on this disease, something beyond the box.  I am interested in seeing if she has symptoms that aren't classified as "MS" symptoms
I think if I can survive unscathed, meaning being able to stayed employed, I will further my nursing career and become an advanced practice nurse for MS.  That way I can empathize more with the patients being in the midst of it myself.  I really would like to be involved with research so I can help with finding a cure and even what the real cause is.
I believe with all my being that there is a reason that I have this disease.  I have a strong desire to be involved with helping people out like myself.  The problem is I have to get myself to that place where I can.  All these setbacks can be kind of discouraging, but I think there are lessons to be learned.  Perhaps these lessons will be what allows me to help and encourage others.
