I was diagnosed with MS in February of 2019. The day I got my results is the day my husband left and said he would be home that night and he never spoke to me again still to this day. But I picked myself up and had to learn how to accept, process, and manage my new disease. But I've done it!

Good for you!! You should be very proud of yourself!!! As far as your husband, he should be Ashamed of himself for walking out on you in a time of need!! I to have MS and my family acts like everything is fine with me!! It's actually pretty sad because they have no clue what I'm going through nor do they seem to care!! It can be very frustrating at times but for the past 5 weeks I have been eating clean and I feel a lot better but still have major mood swings constantly urinating etc. It's not very easy living with this disease especially when your so-called loved one's have no clue nor do they seem to care. That's alright though because I have become numb to the fact that they are so ignorant!!! May God Bless everyone suffering from MS and I Pray that they find a cure for it even though I believe they have one but surpress it because they would lose to much money!! They choose money over people that are suffering every day of our Lives!! HOW SAD IS THAT?

 I can relate to all you have said.....MS sucks and we learn to deal with lots of problems.....I noticed you commented on the urinating frequently.....I had the same problem along with the MS, and IBS.....I had the interstim implant and it works for me....talk with a Urologist....I tried all the over the counter incontinent meds and the Prescribed meds and it just didn't work for me.....I even did the Botox injections....the first one it had worked for a year then the 2nd one only 3 months.....But I would recommend trying the Interstim....Best wishes to you and everyone with MS......

 Hi, and thank you. I find this support group so helpful, especially those days when I need to vent or talk about my disease, and my symptoms, pain, fatigue. So I login and vent, and talk with my ms family

I am so sorry to hear that your husband up and left....a Warrior you are. I had a similar situation. I was diagnosed with MS in 2000, and it was like everyone kinda left me in the dust. Fortunately my family is very supportive of me and my disease....I am divorced and relationships are out of the question.....as soon as someone hears MS, they run....I choose now to just deal with it myself with my family supporting me, I am in a much better place...I wish you the best and keep that positive attitude.
