โDear you, I am not going to tell you it will be fine. Some days it is not fine. But you learn to make room for it. The injections, the appointments, the ramp. It becomes part of the furniture. Ask for help even when you do not want to. Especially then. You will find your people. I did.โ
โPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Heat pad, podcasts and low expetcations got me through the worst flares. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
โHi, you. This time last year I was exactly where you are. Trouble swallowing. That was my life. This year I did a 5k, slowly. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do.โ
โIf you're scared right now, I get it. I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. Back then it was dad's ALS moving fast. I wake up most days without that dread. It changes. It really does.โ
