Found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/multiple-sclerosis\/early-signs#emotional-health\">this<\/a>.  Numbers 1-7, 9, 11-15 are all symptoms I deal with.  So, my first wish would be, if not a cure, significant relief from those.  MS is terrible, and I wouldn&#8217;t wish it on anyone, even the worst person in the world.  With Halloween on Thursday, there was a lot of attention to this guy who has a haunted house for which you have to sign a waiver, and if you actually make it through, you&#8217;d get something like $20,000.  My thought about it was that I might be able to actually be able to make it through because of the things that are physical discomfort.  No, I couldn&#8217;t.  After listening more to the description, I doubt I&#8217;d pass the initial physical.  So much for that.  Waterboarding?  Yeah, try a medical test where you actually pass out from pain.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Two:  Though this is really an outgrowth from the first, I really want to find something I desire again.  At this point, there&#8217;s very little I want or value.  There&#8217;s things that I&#8217;d be upset about if I lost, but, at the same time, I&#8217;ve lost   I could delve more in to something in my personal life, here, but I won&#8217;t.  The Gen X in me comes back with a feeble, &#8220;whatever.&#8221;  Ultimately, I&#8217;m going to do what allows me to look at myself in the mirror (well, for as long as I&#8217;ve got a bit of vision left), but I&#8217;m not doing it out of some desire.  I want to want something.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>And, here, I&#8217;m drawing a blank for what I&#8217;d want for number three.  <\/p>\n\n\n<p>So, yeah, this prompt was a big failure.  Maybe number three is better writing tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you had three wishes, what would they be?
