Personal life ... if any ???
Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2005 7:24 pm
Hi everyone,
I start by saying how grateful I am to this site and its people. That's the main help that I'm getting from.
The question that's eating me away from inside though is how you go about your personal life ? Not all of us got the wretched diagnosis having a partner or being in a marriage. Don't even dare mean that it's any easier to deal with...
Sure it's a whole baggage of problems too. But, to those of us who is ... single. Did any of you find a partner after being diagnosed ? start a family ?
or does MS make you forget about any hope of having any personal life?
I can't say I was extremely successful in it even before the diagnosis
being a lonely foreigner... grad student ... in the US .... in New York City ...
Jesus, could it get any more complicated. Unfotunatelly it could.
Thanks to you all , I can now smile about it and hope for the better.
I first wanted to post it in the "Under 25 thread" , but ... oops ... don't qulify anymore, I'm 25 having being diagnosed next week after my 25th birthday this November . "Great" birthday present
Any inputs and thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Best.
