As I sat down to write another post in my blog I realized after writing an essay paper for almost 6 hours for school, I was tired. I need to go to bed soon, I am exhausted. I know that we as people often tend to push ourselves to the limit. There are too many times I ignore what my body is trying to tell me – when I am tired I need to rest. My body does not function to it’s fullest capacity when I am exhausted. I have to remember that I have MS. There are certain things that I need to do to take care of myself. I must eat right, get a lot of rest and put me first before anything and anyone else. It’s all about me. If I don’t start taking care of myself, I will have a bad attack. My attacks get worse each time. I have different symptoms, they are never the same. Are these people going to take care of me, when I have an attack. I bet they don’t. There is only so much a person can do for someone.

I cannot worry about what others think of me. It doesn’t matter what they think. If they get mad, upset or cop an attitude – TOO BAD!!!!  This is about me. This is about what my body can handle. If I am tired, they need to understand that, I must rest. It is important to be healthy at all times. It takes a person with MS twice as long to recuperate from exhaustion that it would be for a person that does not have MS. I have to remember – it will be there tomorrow, whatever it needs, it will be there tomorrow. I must listen to my body. It is all about me!
