What Do You Tell Friends? Posted: 04-01-05 05:55am
I was wondering, if you are uncomfortable
with telling people you have ms (i am
diagnosed possible ms) and you have a
flare up where your hand doesnt work or
your leg doesnt work (visible symptoms),
what do you tell friends what is happening
to you? As I said, assume you are
uncomfortable admitting that you have a
problem. What do you tell ppl?

Hard Question.... Posted: 04-04-05 23:54pm
...It really depends exactly what your
symptoms are. When I was first affected
so that people could tell something was
wrong I said that it was due to a bad back
- applicable to almost anything other than
sensory symptoms but also carrying it's
own stigma for empolyers etc. Since then
I have found it easier to be honest about
it, luckily everyone has been very
understanding but I can understand your
concerns. What are your symptoms and why
do you feel so worried?
