MS Stages

From Mysterious Sickness To Meaningful Success + My Self

When I look back over the last 11 years of Life with MS, I see it as a journey through 6 chronological stages mainly characterised by emotional and psychological stress. As shown in the MS Stages Table below, the letters 'M' and 'S' symbolise the nature of that stress for each stage.
My Story describes these stages in much more detail.

Of course, some of you may experience MS very differently from me. The uniqueness of MS to the individual is, after all, one of it’s weird characteristics.

Your physical incapacities could, for example, be more overwhelming than your inner stress. If so, please know that you can improve.

If I can stop my rapid paralysis from the neck down, you can beat your physical challenges too.

However, it was only by addressing the emotional, inner turmoil first, that I was then able to permanently resolve my physical issues without the continued use of toxic drugs.

You can too.

MS Stages Table

Metaphor or
Label for MS		 Stage
(PD = Prior Diagnosis
AD = After Diagnosis)		 My Interpretation of the Stage
My MS Origins 0. 33 years PD: Mirage Life When I seemed happy, healthy, wealthy and successful. But inside I was Very confused!
Mysterious Sickness 1. 1 year PD: Confusion & Pain When I didn’t have a ‘label’ to explain the bizarre symptoms, pain & dis-orientation.
My Sign 2. At diagnosis: Relief When my ‘label’ explained and legitimized my symptoms.
Meaningless Shock 3. 1-2 years AD: Shock. Anger. Fear. Denial When the magnitude of the pain and other symptoms numbed me, then filled me with anger, fear, denial. I lost my sense of identity, self respect and hope and continually asked: why me, what have I done, what’s going to happen, how long will I live? Why? What? How....?
Mega Search + Medical Sham 4. 3 + years AD: Curiosity & Understanding When I needed to know what was happening to me and why. My medical study led to my discovery of the Fundamentals about MS, health, and well being.
Marvellous Sight +
My Story		 5. 4 + years AD: Understanding & Acceptance When I understood the fundamental facts about MS, and how to use them to resolve My MS Madness, I developed the emotional and intellectual maturity to share my story and learning for the benefit of others.
Meaningful Success +
My Self		 6. 11 years + AD: Celebration & Joy When I live with purposeful passion,integrity, success, wealth, health and happiness flow naturally to me.
When I know who I am, unconditionally love and honour myself and others, and live in the Truth of the moment.
