Equipping People To Make Sense Of What They Are Told
Do not be pushed into decisions until you have asked all the right questions and
have answers that satisfy you.
Research all available sources of information, do not rely on one particular source
for the answers to your questions.
There are many private clinics who want your money, profit on your illness.
There are many people who offer a cure, or have written a book, or offer therapies.
If it was that easy the problem would not exist.
Denial.
When first presented with their diagnosis the person may think "perhaps the health
professional made a mistake, maybe I really don’t have multiple sclerosis?" especially
if the symptoms are intermittent.
You have to be able to say "I have Multiple Sclerosis" others cannot help you until
you begin to help yourself.
Although treatment and support may be available, it is important that you take charge
of the situation, it is your body, your problem.
The sooner action is taken to combat the problems that may confront you the more
likely you will be able to keep control of your life.
