travelling without moving...

 I feel like life with Multiple Sclerosis - at least for me - is to permanently exist in a liminal space. 

I experienced my 1st symptoms 20 years ago this summer, but was running marathons until lockdown. 

I still run, swim and row, but I also occasionally walk with a stick. 

I can ski black runs, but I'm often too weak to stand up unassisted if I fall.

I’m not on any disease modifying drugs, but I take shit loads of meds to help control my symptoms. 

I self-catheterise, but present (mostly) as a normal, healthy guy.

I’m in transit, but never arrive.
