@How do I respond? I have been dealing with MS since 2010 but wasn’t diagnosed until 10-10-15. I was being treated for Ryder Syndrome originally for 5 years until spinal tap. I have a 38 year old “man hating” step daughter who thinks my MS isn’t that bad or I’m faking it. Worse been said on about 3 occasions over the past 2 years. other things have been said as well that have been even worse. I try not to CRASHOUT simply because of her mom/my wife. My wife is dealing with her own health problems as she has small cell stage 4 lung cancer. She’s in remission as of January (diagnosed in November). Any suggestions or ideas on how to handle this situation without dragging wife into it because she will try to play victim. Has anyone else dealt with this? on Shift.ms
