Know Multiple Sclerosis

So I'm preparing for a big life change: I'm changing jobs. Yes, I know - in the list of most stressful events in a person's life, this one ranks relatively low. Still, it's a big deal and the multiple sclerosis makes it an even bigger deal. So many things to think about - work/family balance, the stress level and the health insurance are the big ones for me.

So here's a little background for those who are interested. I'm 32 years old. I've been in the same job for a little over five years. I have two young kids. I work 20 minutes from home in a very stable government job. All of that will stay the same except for the last item. I'll now be working in the city which is an hour train ride from my house. It's a small company where I'll no doubt work more hours. But it's a potentially good career move and I feel like I need a change.

I researched the health insurance and the company provides good options. I'll have a laptop so working on the train and at home are options. It's a company I've been interested in for some time. It just feels right.

Who knows? I might fall flat on my face. But multiple sclerosis has taught me some important lessons and one of those is to not take life for granted. I guess I'm following the old saying, 'It's better to regret the things you've done than things you didn't.' It's a manageable risk in my opinion and, despite the fears of change, I'm looking forward to what's ahead.
