Oh, Bethy, You are not alone. I get tired of it sometimes, too, but, to keep a brave front is a necessary evil. I do it to, both, protect my Loved Ones and myself.

I'm fighting everyday for my independence. At my age, if I complain too much, I'll be shipped off to a resthome.. Really, at any age, because, people will ask if you can take care of yourself, your home, Kids, Animals etc.....

Soooo, in order to keep Family from worrying about me, I put on a happy face and let them all believe that I can still handle things and for the most, that's true. But know what you're saying, Beth....at times I wish they would all have a great pity party for me and then go away and leave me alone...LOL!

Hang in there, Beth and all. It's just another one of those, unending, perks of MS. That's why we have this great place, full of family and friends, who understand, listen and don't go off half-cocked, when we complain..
