A positive attitude is the one attribute that will help you fight this disease more than any other. Yes, if you have muscular dystrophy you have a fight on your hands. There are things that you can do to help manage the disease.
I will outline in this blog the things that I have done that worked for me, and hopefully they help you deal with muscular dystrophy. Those actions can help you deal with this disease until they find a cure….cures are being developed now for a number of different types of muscular dystrophy.
People have asked me why I have such a positive attitude, even thou I have a major disease. My response is I have thought about how much worse it could be under various other diseases. I could be a quadriplegic or, worse I could have pancreatic cancer, which is a painful torturous way to go. So, there are a number of diseases that are much worse.
I will admit that I was depressed at first, since I was very ill at the time. The doctors informed me to get my affairs in order, I asked how long they thought I had but they indicated that they could not give me a timeline. So, I went to work researching what would help this disease. Basically, I was not going to go down without a fight.
It is important to read books about positive thinking, also, there is quite a bit of information on the impact of positive thinking on medical issues. So, you have the ability to fight this disease and eventually win the battle!
