Living with multiple sclerosis requires an element of spunk
and spirit. You might say a person becomes downright plucky, dealing with a
chronic medical condition that is absolutely yucky.
What does “yucky”
even mean?
It’s an example of onomatopoeia, which is any word that
looks and sounds like what it means. We say something is yucky when we find it cruddy,
disagreeable, discomforting, disgusting, distasteful, foul, gross, icky, nasty,
offensive, repugnant, rotten, and unpleasant.
That pretty much
describes multiple sclerosis.
Any or all of those words fit, especially during MS’ worst
moments. And that’s not just when the MonSter disrupts an MS warrior’s basic
bodily functions, interfering even with personal hygiene. (OK, that’s really yucky!) And that doesn’t happen
to all of us.
This thing called MS is yucky because it scars up our
brains. It makes our heads spin. It makes our extremities (and other parts)
randomly tingle, twitch, sting, burn, or go absolutely numb. It’s a senseless
sick (and still incurable) condition that can make us walk drunkenly without
drinking, battle motion sickness while staying still, and trip over things that
aren’t even there.
That’s pretty yucky. Good thing we’re plucky, ‘cause we’re
not getting stucky by this MonStrous schmucky.

They put me on Rebif which I took until 2008 and was switched to Copaxone. I had two relapses on Rebif, none on Copaxone. I noticed my balance getting worse, and my memory, as well as muscle spasms. I'm 54 now, In Febuary this year my neurologist referred me to Mayaka Herbal Clinic, i immediately started on their natural organic MS Herbal treatment. I had a total decline in all symptoms including the balance, fatigue, muscle spasms, Pain, excessive urination and others. Visit Mayaka Herbal Clinic web page ww w. mayakaherbalclinic. c om. The MS treatment totally reversed my Multiple Sclerosis condition and most amazingly i can go about my daily activities!
