Does support look different for a male vs female living with M.S? My husband has recently been diagnosed (he is in his 40's) and I am struggling knowing how to support him.

Dark!! Support needed

I am in a bad space right now. People swear they will be there if you need them. Then they forget that MS can be subjective. Then worst case scenario things can lead to major depression.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) back in 2018. Since then, I’ve been managing my condition with medications, specifically Baclofen and Pregabalin. Fortunately, I don’t need any other treatments at the moment. While the right side of my body remains weak and I walk with a cane, I am able to carry out all of my daily activities, including driving, spending time with friends, and fully enjoying life—ups and downs included.I recently started exercising, and I feel much better. I truly believe that with consistent physical activity, I can return to a more normal state, though I know I have a long road ahead of me.Thank you for your ongoing support. I’m grateful for the strength and progress I’ve made and look forward to the journey ahead.
