 Post subject: Do your friends and family typically check up on you?
PostPosted: Tue May 17, 2011 4:00 pm 
Do your friends and family typically check up on you to see how your doing? None of mine do, not my cousins, my aunts, my uncles, my old friends, no one unless I go visit THEM. No one drops me a message on Facebook or anything like that. I talked to a lot of my MS friends on Facebook and a lot of them felt the same way. Some of the said its basically just ...

 Post subject: Mom with MS lives in US, I'm in Canada
PostPosted: Tue May 03, 2011 5:19 pm 
Okay, a little back story I guess...

My mom was diagnosed with MS in 2007, although the doctors have told her she likely has had it for 20 years. Unfortunately on top of MS, she also has Fybomyalgia. She is 48 this year, and while it isn't progressing quickly, the medication she is on is what is worrying me the most.

She came up to visit us (my twin sister, me, and my brother) for ...

 Post subject: partner ended our relationship
PostPosted: Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:28 pm 
Hi

I have just joined the forum. I wanted to share my story, get some advice. And maybe just try to sort my feelings out by writing about my experience.

I met my partner in Feb 2010. He had only just been diagnosed with MS in Nov 2009. We fell in love and despite the diagnosis and the distance between us we decided to make a go of it.

The relationship was amazing. I have ...

Where are all of the caregivers and family of MS patients????

I am the girlfriend of 6 years to a wonderful, kind, gentle, giving man who has MS. He was diagnosed in 2006. He has RRMS, although it seems to be more than that lately! He walks with a cane full time, has huge foot drop issues and major cognitive issues.
My Grandmother also had MS all of her adult life. I knew what was ...

 Post subject: Partner with MS
PostPosted: Sun Jan 16, 2011 10:10 pm 
My girlfriend had an MS scare. She's only 20, and he's been upset over it for the past couple of days. She's (I think) convinced it's already started.

Being 300 miles away, I can't do much to comfort her, especially due to some complex circumstances, we can't talk all that much.

I would very much appreciate any help on this issue.

 Post subject: Dad is mom's caregiver...
PostPosted: Mon Jun 14, 2010 9:46 am 
My mom was diagnosed with MS 10 years ago. Since then, my dad has been her husband, doctor, supporter and a great father to their 4 children since. My siblings and I have entered him into Central Florida's Father of the Year contest, because we believe he truly deserves it.

Please take a minute to read his story, that my sister submitted & vote if you choose too!

 Post subject: I don't know what to do...
PostPosted: Thu Apr 08, 2010 5:50 am 
Almost a year ago, my husband was diagnosed with MS.

I thought nothing could ever threaten us, our relationship, and I actually felt that for the first couple of months, we were growing even closer to each other - we were not going to let it get to us!

But more recently, things haven't been going so well - my husband is unhappy, and I feel like a complete failure for not being able to ...
