Aw, Beth
You had such a busy day before dinner, no wonder it was overwhelming. I'm sorry hubby didn't realize this and postpone or choose a quieter environment. But alas, men see the world quite differently anyway, without MS in the picture.

It's hard for us women to stop apologizing for things that are out of our control. At least you are aware you're saying and hopefully that you will be able, in time, to stop apologizing for who you are.

An anti-anxiety med may help overall. Glad you came to us. I hope you're feeling better today.

Oh, Beth, don't be too hard on yourself, it happens even to people without MS. I'm an advocate of napping, it gives the system a chance to regroup. This may sound odd, but have you tried using earplugs? The swimming kind don't blot out all the noise, just some of it and that can make a big difference for me. Even dry cotton balls might do the trick.

Have you talked to your neuro about these sensations? There may be basic coping skills that you can silently work through to keep the madness in check.

Last fall, I discovered that I can't go to movie theaters anymore, it's too overwhelming for me. But, if it is something that matters to my mates, I find that earplugs and shutting my eyes frequently will often help me curb that panic feeling.

Feel better, sweetie, take care of yourself.

Thank you everyone. If I hear myself say I'm sorry one more time, I'm going to hold my breath until I turn a purty shade of Purple.

I have tried to talk to him. He don't get it! Everytime I think he gets it I turn around and "he don't get it"

I've wrote sweet little letters, sent nice little emails, and spoke to him face to face.

I love my hubby but IMHO I think he feels he has been cheated.

We use to be really active.... snow skiiing, waterskiing, playing catch, walking in the woods, fishing, camping and always having get togethers at our house. cook outs and bon fires.

MS has really put the brakes on me and I'm afraid he is going to start resenting me.

Hopefully this too shall pass
