yeah, it sucks having this disease, some days it isn't so bad and sometimes it's worse, I think the good days or the stretches of good days get us thru the bad ones. I can only speak for myself. I am not incapacitated yet, although those times when it's harder to drive and I have to consciously think about moving my legs to shift gears, or when my body can move to the music and dance the way I used to. Or when doing the dishes seems like torture. but then the good times seem so much better, the beauty of my surroundings become that much more intensified. I think that might be a positive side effect for me at least, it has heightened my aware ness and made me recall conscious of the good stuff/ regards from paradise st john, usvi dx 91/42 I shake as I sit typing this morning , but life goes on.
