Mind vs body

When a child is told by a parent over and over and again that they are stupid, they end up believing it. I suppose in cases of misdiagnosis similar to me, and you are told over and over again, by a variety of medical personnel that you have ms, even if you have the slightest doubt, you are instructed to ignore it, and ACCEPT your fate, your life is suddenly taken from your hands, and then place all your trust in others, because you have now been made to think, you are no longer your own person, and for me that would have been such a bad thing.

The trouble is, that when people converse and swap stories of their own symptoms, which may be attributed by something totally different and that includes stress, as stress on stress makes a right fine mess, it gets bigger and bigger and never gets less, it feeds through the day it feeds through the night, it never lets you rest, there's no question it might. And theres the biggest catch 22 you have ever been faced with.

Because ms is based on uncertainty, no body can conclusively say that a particular drug, does not only have a placebo effect and that is it. But for those that it does becauase for you its a win win, because that means you are more in control of your body that you have been lead to believe. The mind state has the biggest influence on your body above any drug, they both work in harmony. A clear focussed mind is a wonderful thing, took a long time to find mine under all that rubbish, but I got here in the end.
