“It was there when I woke up this morning. Faint, but there. A sensation in my legs—my nerve endings firing a reminder that something is not right in my body. It went away, but I’ve spent the rest of the day waiting for it to come back, terrified of a flare-up. MS relapses are like traffic pileups that happen in my nervous system; my body gets hit with one or more of the symptoms for a long period of time. The flare-ups usually don’t go away without a few days of an IV steroid treatment, and... sometimes that doesn’t even do the trick. I know my current symptoms are because of how hard I’ve been pushing myself. I’m more than fatigued. But Ty has me believing that I can do this—not just try out for, but actually make the McConnell women’s soccer team. At first, I just liked having him believe in me. But somewhere along the way, I started to want this for myself—to believe I could do it. I still haven’t told my parents about the soccer tryouts.MoreLessRead More Read Less
