"In the end, you may lose your self-care skills," said the doctor. I was twenty-seven and had multiple sclerosis (MS)(多发性硬化). I wanted to accept the news, but right now all I could think of was ending this office visit. I took a quick look at Tracy, my best friend, who began to cry softly. I hugged her close to share her sadness. We said goodbye hurriedly and left.
I was in the building business with my dad, who taught me all things. I spent most of my time working at building sites. I was not afraid of myself but I was afraid that I would let my family down because they count on me so much.
A few weeks later, I read an article about a man named Pat in Sports in the local paper. It was a lucky thing that had come my way. Pat was a coach at the state college, and had conquered MS with the help of a strict diet. At last, I found Pat. Pat and I met and talked for hours about diets and working out. After that, we became close friends. These eight words repeated in my brain: You can do it, Jason. Never give up!
l started a special diet and a workout plan designed for MS patients, and stuck to it. There were plenty of dark days when I had to ask Tracy to help me finish dressing, but thanks to the love and support, my recovery took shape.
Finally, I felt ready to set a goal for myself. The challenge came in the form of natural bodybuilding. I had played football in high school and college, and I was certainly no stranger to the weight room. I began working out hard with a trainer six days a week. He put me through different weight exercises. A few months later, all the hours of sweat and training brought me to a competition that included one three-minute performance.
