Hi and Welcome to our little family

I can empathise with needing to stay somewhat private with regards to my diagnosis. You are safe here, but be aware that your username etc can show up on search engines (MSBelle was a smart move)

I am not familiar with Canadian employment laws, but you can simply do a few things to deal with any questioning looks or gossip, esp from coworkers or clients

- If a comment or questions come my way I simply say I have a neurological problem. I also leave my forearm crutches leaning near my desk at work - that alone seems to convey an explanation for my unsteadiness and wobbling. Try hanging your cane off your desk and use it regularly at work to get the point across.

-for speech issues I laugh it off as my tongue doesn't want to work today. FOr some silly reason that seems to change peoples minds that I am not actually drunk. I have also blamed it on novacaine - everyone knows novacaine can screw up your speech. Yes, it is a white lie but I do what needs to be done so I can get my work done without the comments.

Good luck with the bladder issues. Self cathing may be worth asking about, as you aren't getting relief with your current treatment.

Hope you find a drug that can slow/stop your progression. Work, kids, and MS just isn't fair - Wish we all had a magic pill!
