Hi fouf and welcome to the forum.

I have had MS for at least 18 yrs, and symptoms that I chose to mostly ignore since the late 70's. In fact, I never accepted the dx till 2005 when I was forced to medically retire ... and I still sometimes go looking for another medical possibility.

There have been a few very rough times, several not so good, but mostly not so bad. I've had to grieve my losses on a couple of occasions, but once I've done that, I tend to move onto the next phase.

As Judy/NN mentioned, live in the moment ... even if that moment is a difficult time. Personally, I believe we need to grieve fully as much as we need to come to a point of acceptance. Sometimes it seems like we are a ticking timebomb, but over the years you do learn to trust that tomorrow is just another day.

I have raised two kids mostly on my own, and they are doing well. It is important to rest when you feel you need it, to ask for support (don't try to be superperson), and to continue to do what you can when you can. Consistency in the early years with the kids, has turned out to be my saving grace.
