Yes, I said it. If "YOU" can not state your fears, question and frustrations here, then where can "YOU" do it. This site, I feel is the perfect place to talk and if need be to cry. I most certainly do not know every answer for everything, but I am sure there is somebody on this webpage that has an idea of what "YOU" are going through. This does not have to be a lonely scary illness. Without any fear of contradiction, there are some scary bits, but there are often solutions that "YOU" may never have thought of. I was very scared of needles, I learned there is a child needle, a butterfly, that "YOU" may not even feel. Staying still for an MRI is often challenging. Some valium really does solve this as "YOU" just sleep through it.
Do "you" see the pattern here? "YOU" have options my friend, people that "YOU" can talk to, techniques that might just make this journey a little easier. Which is a good thing and our aim, If "YOU" do not talk how can we help each other. I personally missed that memo about mind reading so "YOU" are going to have to tell me, and twice is okay because I may have forgotten the first time or got sidetracked. I do that a lot these days, not that I really care about that.
Anyway, my friend do "YOU" see the point. Do not let yourself become a hermit, get active, talk this is a community, and I am 99% sure that the people here have ms in some way shape or form. So no fear that somebody does not understand or at least have an idea.
