It's a scary time and you're reacting like many or most of us did. The unknown is almost scarier than actually knowing exactly what you're dealing with.

I was diagnosed in 2005 but think I've probably had MS for years before that. I just didn't know what it was.

Like Snoopy said you can lead a relatively normal life. Just might have to make a few adjustments along the way.....but whose life doesn't require that from time to time.

I've had some pretty disabling flare ups along the way and it has taught me to appreciate things so much more than I did before.

I'm really sorry that you feel like your husband would be less than supportive to you during all of this. Sometimes it takes a life changing event like this for us to really see others in their true light. Sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes not so much. But however it works out please know that you are still you and your having MS or something else doesn't define you as a person. I hope your husband can realize that as well. I also hope he can realize that it could just as easily have been him struggling with this situation.

Please continue to post here and don't be afraid or hesitant to complain, whine, laugh, cry, be afraid or express any other feelings you happen to have. We all support each other and totally understand the emotional ups and downs of all this.

You're among friends here.
