1st time. Advise is more than welcome
Hi to everyone, new member here and 1st time trying to admitt to myself that I have MS. Only one in my family and extended family to have it. My name is Nick and I'm 41 in July. I got violently ill on 2nd November 24 and diagnosed 17th January 25. As I'm writing on here today 16th May, I am still so tired and sore after doing an hrs physical work on the 12th of May. Everyday tasks I do is so hard physically and mentally tough and as for my emotions, I still don't understand as to how I am feeling about it as I can't help but worry about the financial situation of it all because I am still waiting for government help. I have worked since I was 15 and never on the dole so it's a big shock to me and my life going from very active and reasonably healthy to a near stand still. I'm just so lucky to have an amazing wife and family behind me. If anyone on this has any advice or information that would help me or my situation would be greatly appreciated and thanks for taking the time to read
You need to let your wife in. Don't shut her out or try to hide anything you are going thru from her. Do you have relapsing/remitting? You need to stay positive. There may be feelings or weird things happen. Just explain them the best you can to her so she understands. She will be your rock. You need that. Hang in there. It is a long hard trail but keep your head up and stay positive.
@Robin0218 thank you for the response and your advice. It's much appreciated. Yes I found it hard to let anyone in including my wife, it's only the last couple of weeks I've let my wife in and trying to be there for me, still hard for me as I'm the one supposed to be the bread winner and protecter for her and not her for me which I think is being the hardest part for me to accept. But yes I will always try let her know my feelings too. Thank you 🫶
