Told my family about my diagnosis
I got diagnosed with rrms a few weeks ago. I’ve been taking my time breaking the news to my family, and my parents took it like a shot in the chest. They really think the world is caving in on them, despite me giving them good information on outcomes and treatments and all that.
I called to tell my brother and his wife yesterday.
Me: hey, finally got diagnosed with ms
Bro: whoa you’re Mega Stupid?
Wife: haha orangepeel’s Mega Stupid
It was a nice reminder that not everything has had to change with a diagnosis :)
My mum took my diagnosis hard and so did my partner, he knew someone with ms when he was a child... so both of them have memories of ms pre modern DMTs... that is how I look at it anyway.
