6mile’s … many more to go

I have always been grateful to god to have given us a perfect life, but sometimes it gets too real to be true.
My brother has not been doing very well for the last two years, he was recently diagnosed with MS. His entire life changed in a moment. It is a struggle for him , just to get up and do the daily tasks. I dint know how to handle the situation, id try to be nice and helpful and he would feel treated like a sick patient and I could not exactly let go. I spent 8 months at home before I came here trying to help him ,but I felt like I made the situation more worse. I finally left. My parents say he’s doing better and he does seem jolly on the phone, but my friends tell me he’s grown skinny. I wish there was something I could do to help him .

He was crossing the street and just fell. Everything was normal for the next few days and then he started falling more often.We werent really sure what was the problem. We hardly ever went to the doctor.( we’ll I did to skip school sometimes). His situation worsened gradually and one neuroligist suggested that it might be MS.

At first he used to keep falling down, then he had trouble with his left foot, hands shaking and fatigue. My brother had a squint from middle school. I read that people who live in temprate climates when they are less than 15 years old,are more prone to getting it. We’ll it just happens that, me and my brother happend to live in russia for over 5 years when we were little kids. MS is a very uncommon disease in India and there is hardly any treatement for it. SC with a population of 3 million people has more people with MS than Andhra Pradesh with almost 60 million people. Its been really hard for all of esp my mother, she refused to acknoledge it. We used to get fevers and common colds, but something like this never happned. My mom got sick when I was around 10,she had an iron deffiency,but she got better really quick. It’s made me realise how fickle life can be with us.

This is something that worries me the most, more than anything else in the world. I’ve wanted to talk about it more but have been avoiding it for a while, I’ve been looking out for people on youtube and a few MS sites.
