Hello Mark D, Dennis, RebeccaR.
It’s sobering to see so many of us out there, and although as Dennis perhaps has been informed, this condition is often seen in older adults, I’m surprised how young you/ we all are!
But am glad so many of you have taken time out of your day to write and respond on here. Thank You Mark and Rebecca for the supportive messages: no two people or MM present the same, but it is heartening to hear of more and more living long and active lives…although I do dream of days getting back to my Table Tennis, or a wee bit of cycling- I’m now more hopeful that those days will return!
On initial diagnosis I was numb with shock, even though GP and consultant had stated it was very possibly MM: I then spent days researching, planning my funeral, and generally behaved oddly. I now sleep and wake without MM being the first and last thing on my mind- which I can’t quite believe would ever happen. Although I expect to start in one week’s time, I’m still busy organising for upcoming virtual events, birthdays and Xmas!! So, life goes on, and I say to folk, I could get hit by a bus first ( I keep well away from them), my mood lifts theirs. So, trying not to be a memory but to keep making memories is currently my goal….respect and best wishes to you all xx
