What's On Your Mind

What is on your mind? What topics would you most like to discuss? Here are a few of the things I think about:

MS medications- so many options which one should we choose.

Emotional Roller Coaster- his emotions are all over the map on any given day.

Grieving for lost future when he's still here.

I feel so different about the man I love, what do I do with that?

Great days and what to focus on.

Keeping him less stressed is stressful on me.


I'd love to hear from other wives of husband's who have MS. Not that being a husband of a wife with MS is not important, it's just different. There are more women with MS with support directed that way, and so far I have found very little in the way of supporting the wives with MS husbands.

This is a public blog so everyone is welcome to participate. Please be kind or your comments will be removed.

So far today is a good day for my husband. Not as much numbness in toes, ankles, and knees. I hope the day finishes that way. Trying to keep the stress level low so his face doesn't go numb.

Welcome

Welcome to the blog that supports wives who's husbands have MS. Here you can share your questions, feelings, resources and anything else that will keep us all going another day.

My husband has Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. I'm not in the medical field and this blog should never take the place of medical advice. It's meant to be a safe place to share, give support and receive support.

I'd like this blog to stay positive but real. Sharing stories is not whining unless you go on for 10 paragraphs. Sometimes it's just great to have others who understand your position because they are in the same position. Maybe you've gone through the same situation and can offer up some ideas and suggestions. Maybe it's just a hard day and you need someone to say it's OK and you're not selfish.

I hope you will join in the discussion and offer support for each other. As I see it, we're all in this together with the same goal of not only surviving but thriving and enjoying our lives with our husbands.
