i really appreciate the message, it means a lot to me, I’ve been trtig to ignore it all, I’ve tried diets etc but they’re so restrictive they’re making me lose weight and feel crap so IVE put that on the back for awhile. What other sumptoms does your daughter have and how long has she had all this going on? Is she feeling any better now?
and what happened to you for the first two years? And how are you now? You seem like a great mum by the way

Thanks Kris. Jen’s symptoms come and go but hopefully if her dx is right they should settle. We’re both very positive. I was treated for all sorts of things before I got my dx including depression, sciatica, a collapsed disc, cervical myelopathy, I had a disc replacement operation and then was told I had spinal cord damage before they realised I had ms on top of it all. It was a very dark few years.
Getting a dx was both a shock and relief. Even now 2 years later I have those “they can’t be right, other people get these things things, not me” moments. I don’t think I’m alone in that. What symptoms do you have? I don’t believe fad diets are the answer, they’re for people who have definite intolerances or conditions. A healthy balanced diet is recommended for people with ms. No point in making your life more difficult or unpleasant.
It’s very difficult coping with health issues and raising a family, I hope you’re able to spend quality time with them doing things you all enjoy together, your health problems might mean you have to find new ways of doing things or new hobbies but they need to know you’re still the person you were, even though things might not be as easy. Life becomes a bit more complicated or what I try to think of as more interesting.
I hope you get answers soon, take care.
