Re: Paradox regarding MS suffering?

[Guest guest]

Hi you raise a very interesting point. I have MS and am married 30 almost 31 yrs. Although I have only been diagnosed for the past 4yrs. I also stopped the Rebif and went on LDN 2 yrs now.

I must say I have never received so much attention from my husband or family since being diagnosed. My husband used to think I was acting when I would complain from time to time.(this is how his mother is) I think the guilt of his thoughts has really made him much more attentive. Now he thinks when I say I am fine, I am atrooper and not really telling the truth.

I must admit, I love the attention and maybe your wife is holding on to her disease out of habit.She may really be having these symptoms and maybe her lack of concern is because you worry for her, therefore she does'nt have to.

Another reason could be that she is trying to ignore the fact that she has it, and gets tired of being reminded of it by you. I know I try to make life s normal as possible and not harp on the disease often. Just my rambling of my thoughts, maybe other women can relate to her and give you some input. Kiki
