Good evening all, Feeling a bit beaten tonight. Been having a bad week partner has gone off to darts tonight and I have a little girl (15 months) and always loves a night time mummy cuddle. Its breaking my heart that through my pain and weakness I cant cuddle her to sleep. She is still awake and keeps wanting a cuddle and I cant help her. Times like this I feel a so beaten by everything. Sorry for such a down post just need to let off. Hope you’re all well as can be x

hiya

i so feel for you. my first grandchild was born last year when i had another relapse-i couldnt hold her but my daughter laid her in the bed beside me so i could sniff her-she was 4 days old at the time. shes now 10 months old and i can hold her for short periods now as long as someone else is nearby to help with moving her/keeping her safe.

i really hope ur relapse passes soon.

take care, ellie

Hi sorry to hear your having a tough time. My little girls 14 months and I’ve just had her back staying with me for 3 weeks. She lived with my parents and I left my husband when she was 6 weeks old when I didn’t have ms. And then had relapse after relapse. It’s tough through the pain I can totally sympathise. We just have to hope and pray it gets easier. I’m sure your giving her all the love she needs. X

I fell asleep on the sofa with her without taking my meds and when I woke rigour mortous had set in. We just have to do our best for them. X
