Dancing, not fighting, with MS

[ActiveMSers]

It's common to hear of people "battling" or "fighting" multiple sclerosis. Maybe instead of waging war with our disease, we dance with it—think Dances with Wolves instead of Bridge Over the River Kwai. And take the lead when we can without worrying about stepping on toes.

This blog post on Bart's says essentially the same thing. Maybe the battle metaphors are the wrong approach. What do you think? -D

Personally I find this tie-in between fighting and MS uncomfortable. Does this mean from the moment you are diagnosed you should enter the metaphorical boxing ring or the theatre of war and launch an all-out assault against MS? Isn’t coping with a serious chronic disease enough? And what happens if you ‘lose’ the fight against MS?
