Orange Ribbons on toning background,Multiple sclerosis awareness

A few years ago, I was working and moving normally but now everything has changed; I left my job and most of my time I am at home where I have to deal with the new situation. The disease I have is called Multiple Sclerosis, which affects the nervous system and causes difficulty in the balance, also body movement becomes difficult over time and life becomes harder.

Doctors said the cause of the disease was unknown and there was no medication.  I have no choice, but I must accept the new situation and do what I can to keep my life. I think there are some mistakes in our lifestyles that have affected our health such as bad food and stress.

One of the bad things that happened was that I fainted in the hospital when I was testing a new medicine that was prescribed by the doctor. Therefore, I was not able to continue the medicine. However, one of the positive things that happened to me is that I have found time to practice the hobby of writing that I love. Staying away from stress and doing some relaxation exercises like meditation and healthy eating gives you some balance in life.
