Yesterday, I posted the first half of a list I found online about my invisible illness, MS. I'm sure you couldn't wait for the second half. Haha! Well, here it is.
16. Something I never thought I could do with my illness that I did was: I don’t think I have an answer for this one...
17. The commercials about my illness: I have seen very few.
18. Something I really miss doing since I was diagnosed is: not taking meds every day.
19. It was really hard to have to give up: working at my last job. There were several factors that went into me leaving that job. But my fatigue played a big part in the decision.
20. A new hobby I have taken up since my diagnosis is: blogging.
21. If I could have one day of feeling normal again I would: hmm... Again, I am thinking... I am still very blessed to be able to do most the things I want to do. I can usually fight through the fatigue and keep going.
22. My illness has taught me: to be more grateful for the things I have, especially my family.
23. One thing people say that gets under my skin is: I haven’t had to experience many people saying annoying things to me about MS. Mostly people don't say anything about it.
24. But I love it when people: ask how I am doing, ask questions or just make me laugh. I love to laugh.
25. My favorite motto, scripture, quote that gets me through tough times is: Jeremiah 29:11-13
26. When someone is diagnosed I’d like to tell them: Life is never easy. You can do this and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
27. Something that has surprised me about living with an illness is: how much my family motivates me to keep going.
28. The nicest thing someone did for me when I wasn’t feeling well was: One thing I am thinking about is when I stayed at my sister-in-law’s house after I had some complications from my spinal tap.
29. I’m doing this because: I thought it could be interesting for people to read.
30. The fact that you read this list makes me feel: special and loved. It may be more than you wanted to know, but thanks for reading.

I'm really enjoying reading your lists!! I think you have a GREAT attitude about it. I'm sure you have your down days, but overall you seem like such a positive person. I know your faith in the Lord gives you the most strength, and the love of you family. I'm glad I can keep up with you through your blog. :)
