I was far too early for the party while others were far too late

I was diagnosed with MS in the year 2000, I was doing my own investigation to my own condition which I believe is misalignment with small but positive results ………..I’ve always known that there was something wrong with my neck For 10yrs + I have managed my own mobility by constantly shifting my weight by tiny adjustments and movements keeping my head over my hips, I experienced slow and small improvements esp. to my dexterity or motor skills I could pick up an olive or a plum tomato that I had mastered, I was learning to put my fingers in my cup handle.
