Family holidays

Just a heads up for anyone who’s thinking of going on holiday with the family. I’m just back from a week’s staycation in Scotland. Was a beautiful setting and I loved it when I was on my own. I’m struggling with my family and their lack of awareness regarding my MS. I guess it’s down to me not having physical signs of how I struggle sometimes and how it’s easier just saying “I’m fine” when asked. But I couldn’t wait to get home. I had a nice time when I just pushed my self to join in but it’s taken a lot out me. Anyone else get frustrated with people not understanding when we explain our symptoms or even have the language to express it? I think it’s maybe time I shown some teeth now and again 🫣

I get it I've had to stop doing extra shifts at work as I struggle doing my own ones But because I'm home more I've been asked to do more fair enough Thing is just because my legs not falling off or my heads not hanging on by a thread people even those closest to you forget or don't care that your struggling every minute of the day I don't expect them to fully get it but at least show some kind of understanding

Sometimes I think they would have more understanding if I were debilitated in some way 🤔 I’m probably wrong but it’s just very frustrating. You can’t see cognitive disabilities
