Dej - I think what you are feeling is perfectly normal. This past flare has changed your life in ways you didn't expect. Of course you are feeling insecure right now and rightfully so. I would be the same what. In fact, when MS 1st hit and I would walk like a drunk, I finally broke down and got a cane just so people didn't think I was drunk.

Now to answer your question, I get insecure like that, especially around my period. In fact, I think it's common in women around that time as I know so many women who have complained about that same thing.

Keep you chin up and know that you are well loved around here and respected. Also, you have a wonderful and supportive DH, which makes all the difference in the world. Hang in there and know that you are normal.
