Hi, sorry... me again (board hog!)...
Question for all you wise ones. My husband seems to be in complete denial that I am suffering as many symptoms of MS as I do. I am due to see a neurologist for the first time next week. Although I certainly don't anticipate any form of diagnosis, I DO suspect they will acknowledge I have some credibility to my whinging about being sore / tired / tingly / utterly dysfunctional!! So far my husband doesn't really seem interested in discussing where I'm at, which suits me! But I worry that my appt next week will really open up the can of worms for him. I myself am 2 steps ahead, and know that there is something significantly wrong (whether MS or not) as I am just not myself (physically or psychologically) in too many ways to list. It's pretty frightening as it is, but to not have his emotional support (for whatever reason) is crippling. Any ideas?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
we understand here and are here for you
I used to always tell my husband "I wish you could crawl inside my body for a day. All I know is once I got really bad after an attack, I just told him if this was happening to you I would read and research everything I could.
Thats when he exploded and said "How do you know, maybe I do...ok ? Maybe I know more about it than you think..my two buddy's at work, one of thems wife has Ms and the others dad died due to complications.
So maybe he is scared and doesnt want to admit it. Men have a hard time expressing their feelings.
"I REALLY AM SICK"
JUST SO NO ONE TELLS YOU THAT YOU LOOK SO WELL DEAR.
