Myth Or Not?

Re: Myth: No one can possibly understand what I’m going through.
I am going to challenge this statement as being a myth.
My husband, Chris, has been battling MS for a long, long time. He is pretty well bed bound, although he can get up into his wheel chair, the pain prevents him from staying there too long.
Before he got as bad as he is today, he obviously went through the “symptom” stages. And, unfortunately, 90% of the people we knew, did not understand what he was going through. They cared and were supportive, but they did not understand.
So much of the problem, during the “getting advanced symptoms” stage was difficult because of the lack of understanding.
No one could really understand what it felt like to get the tiredness, the fatigue that is common to MS. To get so bothered by heat and light that it would bring out MS symptoms. More →
