He asked me, "How do you deal with MS?"

I thought about it and said, "I pace myself. What other choice do I have? Lie around on a lounging chaise and bemoan my fate?"

I must admit, though, when I 'hit the wall' and everything stops; when it feels like I'm walking through cold molasses; when I crumple down into a sitting position because I can't stand up any longer--pacing myself isn't a choice; it's a requirement.

I stay cool and avoid the heat (not easy when the temperature today is 94 degrees!)

And, of course, get enough sleep, take my vitamins, and keep a positive attitude.
