Challenged

Some say I am disabled,
But you know that isn't true.
I simply have a challenge
A little different from you.

My slight inconvenience, has taught me
Things they could not know.
Each obstacle is a victory
Enabling me to grow.

I'm not really any different,
I cry, I laugh, I snore.
I don't want to be treated
As if I'm not a person anymore.

Out of good intentions,
People are afraid to let me try.
But sometimes I have to fall,
And sometimes I need to cry.
God gives me the strength and dignity,
and the courage to be all I can be.
For He doesn't see me as disabled,
He sees me as me.

Leslie had sent me some information about her

troubles with Steroids when the doctors were

trying to help her out. My doctor did not ever

suggest I go on any type of Steroids for my MS

I have used both Avonex and now Copaxone.

My doctor did tell me the long term effects made

steroids a bad treatment of MS and is just a

temporary solution.
