Thank you that really means a lot to me. I try to be real and talk about things that can be hard but that needs to be said.

I am always looking for ideas for new topics so feel free to let me know if there is something you would like covered.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the positive feedback on this topic.

I was concerned about doing it but it is a part of our lives.

You all are great support for me and each other.

Love to you all Andrea

This has been such an "issue" of mine also. My husband is wonderful, but not the "norm" my neuro tells me. He's seen a lot of husbands leave their wives once their diagnosed. Still...things bother me...I'm not the wife I've always "pictured being". Asking for help from my friends is also extremely hard for me because I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE HELPER, HELLO???....NOT THE ONE NEEDING HELP!  It helps having friends who can say, "SHUT UP, I'M TAKING YOU TO YOUR APPOINTMENT!"! because they know me!

I hear you and it is sad when a neuro can say that it is not the norm.

I have heard so many stories of people whose partner bailed and couldn't deal with the whole MS thing.

Thanks so much!

Don't you "settle" girl. MS or not...every woman deserves to be loved for her! God sent me a man like that and I trust & will begin praying that HE will send you such a man also!!! Don't forget...any man would be "super-lucky" for such a compassionate & kind woman to scoop "him" up like you!!!! Don't forget that!!!!

I wish "we" got the option to "bail" on this MS thing!!!! :~)

LOL I hope you know that I meant it in the best way. We tend to loose our self worth and under value what we have to offer.

Now go meditate on that :-)

I am the same way. People say "let me know if you need help." Well that is a very hard thing to do. My sister just says "i'm coming over to help you clean. The friend i spoke of in the video, she says 'if you need help shoveling, let us know', and well there is over 2 feet out there. :(  It sucks. :(
