Feeling isolated and not understood

Has anybody found people's attitudes toward you changing post diagnosis. Even my family seem unsympathetic. I feel like a nuisance and a burden and a downer to others. Is this really common with fellow MS sufferers?

Hello TommyDee I completely understand how you feel. Since My diagnosis my family has become distant.

People are just scared because they don’t understand the desease, don’t know what to tell you, scared that you might become a burden for them. Now please change your diet quickly as soon as you can. That is the only way you can avoid most of the symptoms. Ocrevus will stop the progression of the disease,but it won’t heal you,and won’t stop the symptoms. So you must review what you eat and how you eat. Please no more processed food, cook your food at home. Go to YouTube and check: 5 tips for newly diagnosed for Ms. It is done by Aaron boster. Also check Ms nutrition on YouTube, done by Aaron boster as well. They are all good podcasts.Please don’t focus on other people, focus on yourself, and do whatever you can to stay healthy. Exercise frequently because of the brain and meditate so you can stay strong mentally.
